So, I've never been a real regular cigar smoker or had a need for a humidor. But, my girlfriend bought me a few for my birthday a few weeks ago then I went a little crazy on Cigars International and suddenly needed an expedient humidor for my stash. So I grabbed a puck humidifier and a cheap hygrometer and came up with this. I put a sheet of Spanish Ceder in the bottom, and it has held about 74 RH for a few days. I think I may need to add some dry kitty liter to bring it down a little.

I am sorry ghost rider but that pattern is full of trouble.
You must immediately send me the Montes and Cohibas. It is illegal for you to possess them. I am looking out for you and have your back. I have no problem sending you my addy via IM. Oh yeah......Welcome to The Humidor......now hold on, this ride gets rough from here on in..... 
And in before all the ammo can haters show up......did you build that yourself....that grafic is killer!!! |
That's awesome, well done!

Well, thanks guys. I can't really sell stencils/decals as I'm using company time/equipment/materials. But. I might be able to sneak just a couple in if I have a little slow time. Don't get jammed up but I would be down for one. I can share it with a few if they don't mind.... I have most of their addresses anyway. Echo |

Ok, as far as decals, I have some material left over from a personal project, maybe enough for 6 or 7 decals depending on size. It's adhesive vinyl and not reusable so you can't really share.
It can be used as a decal or stencil. Basically I pull out the image and use the outside for a stencil, or I pull out the outside and apply the inside as a decal. Mine is 7'x4' and it was pretty tricky working the small text in vinyl, so any smaller and that would have to be omitted or replaced with something else. The material will be white or I have one small piece of red. So, if 6 or 7 of you want a sticker send me the size/color you want and whether you want it as a decal or stencil. Maximum size is 12' on the wide edge. The color doesn't matter on a stencil obviously but if somebody wants a red decal, specify that. Personalization is pretty easy if you want you name or something on it too. Also, the material does not stick well to anything porous or very textured. HairlessOtter, medicth, & EchoAngel17, mentioned interest in a sticker so I'll reserve the first 3 for them. These will be free, so if you feel the need to pay me in white owls, resist. |

What about the paint smell? seems like all my ammo cans have an odor and I do not believe the paint in inert... Shouldnt you have some trays or barriers of separation between the loose cigars as well or they are going to contaminate eachother... It looks cool though. |

This can didn't have any smell that I could smell. It had "empty" stencil on the back, it may have never been used. My others all smell like Hoppes #9, could make an interesting line of infused cigars. If the trend continues I'll have to move to a coolerdor soon anyway. |

LOL hoppes infused from fine tobacco blends aged in used ammo cans, its the oak barrel of the shooter smoker world.
If your cans are clean and you havent noticed any odor or problems by now you must be good to go, ill have to try this when I get a clean can, even if you had a funky one I guess it could just be sanded out and cleaned.. Hell someone is selling them on ebay they lack the cool zombie graphics however Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
