Cigar Weekly

For those of you who are into cigar schwag of old, I was in the Milan Inn-tiques antique store in Milan, Oh (birthplace of Thomas A. Edison, but I digress) and saw a gold R.W. Dunn Cigar display Humidor that should have a glass top (but doesn't). Some of our more industrious members might be able to turn it into a pretty neat desktop humi with a new piece of glass and some cedar. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of it--i didn't have my camera with me. And, I didn't buy it because my wife won out on a lincoln rocker for the soon to be here baby's room.

There was also an old metal sign for Pastimes Cigars Probably 4 feet long by 1 foot tall.

Very nice.
I've been to Milan, picturesque little town.

it really is--and most of the folks there are good people too. My wife's family is from that area (Milan, Norwalk, Sandusky).

It wasn't too bad--he originally wanted $50 for it, but I'm sure he could have been talked down. Unfortunately for me, I didn't have the cash, or I would have purchased it. We got a lincoln rocker and an "old-timey"

phone that I'm going to rig up to work at my house.

No shit!! I go by the Milan exit on the turnpike every time I'm going to/coming from work. I'm even thinking of moving there since it's halfway between work and all my friends/family in the Cleveland area.

I'll have to go and check it out.
