Outstanding Garage Sale Find!

On Saturday morning, my Girlfriend and I go looking at garage sales, you can find a lot of interesting stuff.

Last Saturday, the garage sale notices said that one of them had cigar humidors (plural!), so we got up early, and drove quickly there, and saw the two humidors! I got out of the car, fast walked over to them, and nearly fell over, when I saw the price. $20 each! For These!!

Rhetorical question: Did I get a good deal?

Judging by the hardware, those aren't very old. Good deal for $40!

nah, they're not very old. The guy that had them said that he used to have them in a pub, but his supplier stopped supplying (due to tobacco laws), and he took them home i guess! And those cigars in them, were mine that I just had in my coolidor. They weren't in them. That would have been good!!

Now I have to buy some beads! probably 1 pound split between them?

And to top it all off... one's preconditioned to 65 percent RH and the other 70 percent.

Nice score!
