Calendar		 Our client wanted to give five of his best friends each a custom humidor of their own for Christmas. Even though these are all based on the same measurements, the fact that they are all made from different woods gives them each a unique character. The fact that they were gifts made them all the more enjoyable to make.

These humidors hold about seventy-five to a hundred cigars and features a sliding, handcut dovetailed tray, a lock, and a french polish finish. They are all lined with red cedar, a close relative of spanish cedar that came from a sustained-yield forestry operation in Papua New Guinea that we got from our friends at EcoTimber International in Berkeley.
