Subject: Re: Building a humidor

First I want to thank you Steve for taking on this task. You must really
love doing this, and I am very happy for you in that respect. I also want to
encourage all of those young (under 30) pipe and cigar smokers out there. I
have been smoking pipes and cigars for 13 years and I am 31. I know exactly
what these young people are going through. In fact, I still go through it
quite a bit. Even though I am a professor at the University of Mississippi,
I am constantly mistaken for a student and I still get strange looks when I
have a pipe or cigar in public ( which is not too often). Just enjoy this
fine past time and remember that you will probably out live most of your
curious on lookers anyway.

I would also like to respond to Jason Sarsany's query about building a
humidor, and for anyoneelse interested in this subject. In the December 1995
issue of of Popular Mechanics is a humidor shop project. It has good
directions, a measured drawing, and a materials list. This one is made out
of mahogany and holds up to 50 cigars. I personally have not had time to
make this yet (bought my own "This Old House" project taking all free time)
but I will eventually. I hope this helps.
