Vito's Humidor

WaxingMoon · 03-24-2010, 05:29 PM

I made this humidor for Joseph Gannascoli - the actor that played Vito on the Sopranos....

Joseph has his own line of cigars called Cugine and they are distributed by Alec Bradley.....

"Vito" will be in town on Saturday at which point I will hand it over to him.... Most of the details were requested by him.... except for the tray... I came up with that and just did it... He wanted the "R" s on the lid to look like pistols and to be red.... so, I took the pistols one step further and did some traywork....

This thing shines... it must have 25 coats of lacquer.... it was very difficult to get a good picture... I may try again... but, the flash just kept screwing up the pictures....

Cocobolo & Macassar Ebony
10.25" x 8.75" x 4.5"
Count.... around 30

Thanks for looking....
