Buried cigars?

Thats just Clazy!!! I am dumbfounded! WOW!!!!!!

Well, I'll be damned. Pure unadulterated awesome.

Here is the newly painted (camo) lid and lock. I ended up using running loops of cable through both the tube and the lid. The lock won't keep someone out if they are determined to get in but will be a deterrent for neighborhood kids, raccoons, etc.

Think the wife would notice a bigger hole in the yard??

I have a few tips or suggestions if anyone is intersted installing their own Cigar Sewer:

1 . A 6" dia. pipe is all that would be needed to insert a 15 Cigar Caddy but the 8" dia. pipe, with it's extra volume is nice but the cost difference between 6" and 8" is significant.

2. I would not recommend going any deeper than 5.0' since most post hole digger handles are not longer than 5.0'

3. I recommend the lid I used (gasketted - with the gasket removed). It slides nicely over the pipe. It can easily be removed without tools.

4. Compact the soil around the pipe as you backfill with the end of your shovel. This will prevent settling.

5. The 8" dia. sewer pipe is an SDR 35 pipe. This is plenty heavy stuff!

6. Be sure you prime and glue the end cap on with recommend PVC glue. This will ensure water tightness at the bottom of the pipe.

7. Velcro works nicely inside the tube to hold a lighter.

8. If I were to do it again, I'd use a remote thermometer and tape the end to the floor of the pipe, the wire to the side and attach the actual readout portion to the inside of the lid. (I may still do this). This way, you could easily know the temp in the bottom of the tube.

8. The only drawback to "the Sewer" is that you won't want to pull the lid to access you cigars in the rain. This might get water down your nifty new pipe. That said, I only smoke outside and don't need access to my cigars if it's raining. This might be a problem for someone that smokes inside.

[Silound]

Possibly the most unique and well executed solution to storage of cigars I've ever seen.

Bravo!

Update please. I'm wondering if you've built an underground walk-in by now?

His last activity was 8/13/2010 doubt that we will get an update.
Now that you have revived the thread Im curious to know if the storage actually worked out for him.

[pektel]

Maybe he made a couple more to store some kilos...

Total waste of time for the storage of 30 cigars.
