This first entry should be rather large as I have made a few acquisition recently and it is also time to do an inventory of my humidors.
I picked this back lit sign from my B&M for no charge at all. I have been fortunate to find a shop like the local one, especially on a college campus. The owner is a great guy and very reasonable in his prices. He was kind enough to just give me this sign, however he said it would need new bulbs...no big deal right with fluorescent bulbs only running $5-6. So I get new bulbs and it turns out that the ballast is shot....this is getting complicated at this point. I looked into the feasibility of replacing a ballast and the result was nope this isnt gonna happen. So I instead purchased one of those utility lights you use in the garage or attic and ran that into the sign. Of course this couldnt go without incident either, as I was checkign to see if everything was connected correctly I forgot to ground the third wire and poof my hand was numb for about 30 minutes. So this sign is good to go, except I want to replace the plastic sheet behind the image since it had a pretty profound crack in it.
To go with my sign I got the matching ceramic cigar jar.
Nothing really fancy about it just matches the sign and I got it for $15 so I figured what the hell. Now I am trying to decide if I want to use it as an actual cigar jar, which would mean figuring out if it does indeed hold humidity or not, but right now it is just a jar without a purpose.Ok so maybe a little ambitious in my original purpose, the pics of my collection will make it up in the near future.
Anyway tonight I smoked a Tatuaje Black from SixPackSunday on CA from my box pass, nice cigar but still not sold on all the tatty hype. None the less thanks for the opportunity to smoke this ellusive cigar.
until later
