Does Anyone Know What This Is???
I just picked this up for a small chunk of change ... the person that sold it to me thought it was a humidor, but Im not sure if it really is one. It seems to be kinda old but in good condition, and its from Cuba. The floor has 11 divets with small holes that dont go all the way through.
Anyone seen this before or have any insight as to what exactly it is, or if its a collectible. thanks in advance! |

I think it may be an old humidor Rob. Looking at the brand underneath the lid may compare to this one:

A double duty sales and shipping box. Pretty common back in the olden days.
Attached are a few more. I could point you to a vendor that sells alot of them and has photos that you can use to understand the concept of the box, but I get in trouble when I do that. Search the web for antique cigar cabinet. |

Has Anyone Seen This Before???
I picked this up for a small chunk of change, but I'm not sure exactly what I got here. The lady that sold it to me said that she was told it was a humidor ... if it is, Ive never seen one like it. Its branded with the old Bolivar Habana logo, it doesn't have a place for a humidifier or hygrometer, and it has 11 divets at the bottom with small holes that do not go all the way through.
anyone have any insight on this? thanks! |

I would guess Bolivars maybe?

I would take Brad's suggestion and google "antique cigar cabinet" as the rules in this plase do not allow sharing of such sources.

Re: Does Anyone Know What This Is???
OK, so I've been checking it out, and figuered out that it is a humidor! check out the photos .... there is an interior cedar box with holes at the bottom that slides out of the exterior box. the interior box sits on these approx. 7/8" tall pegs at the corners of the bottom of the exterior box to leave a gap between the boxes so that you can place a humidifier in that area, and then the humidity will go through the holes of the interior box to keep the cigars fresh!
this is a sweet @ss humidor! I cant believe I snagged this for $30!!! |

Re: Does Anyone Know What This Is???
This looks like a100ct box or cajon. Primarily sent to retailers, it looks much to rough to be a humidor. All of the Cuban humidors I have seen are works of art, with detailed carving and much higher quality woods. Not sure of the actual age but a picture of any markings on the bottom might help.
