Anyone have $388,888.00?

I have a friend of mine that is a incredible woodworker with a amazing shop (Norm from New Yankee Workshop would be jealous)...makes me wonder if he could pull something like this off. Might just have to ask him...that is one bad ass humi...:tu
 
I was looking for more pics of this one and actually found a site that says this humi originally sold for 80,000 at auction. Pretty big mark up at 388,888. Just for that I am refusing to buy it...it is all yours fellas...:mad:

When it sold for $80K at auction, did it already have Fidel's autograph on it?
 
the one thing about it i don't understand is the dial for tray rotation...looks cool though. next time i run across 388 grand i'll pick one up
 
Too bad that wasnt on the noobie list of what to get when i bought my humi. Instead of my 75 cigar humi I would have gotten that one instead for my starter.

Maybe want to make this a sticky for the newbies to consider.:hn

If you say, an average cigar is 1/2 inch, that's 24 cigars per foot. If my calculations are correct and they probably aren't (college algebra is as far as my math edu went). That's about a 24,192 ct humi give or take. At an average price of $6.00 per stogie= $145,152.00 to stock this bad boy. Plus the mother of all humi's= 388,888.00. That's $534,040.00 without s&h.

That might be hard to hide from the wife fellas.

If you can blow 388,888.00 on a humidor your per stick cost will probably be higher than 6$. My guess is a stick cost of 100$+ per for elite aged Cubans (or Gurkhas ;) ) So at that price 2.4 mil for cigars in you 389K humidor for a grand total in the 2.8 million range. Which to the people who buy stuff like that is like me buying a 120 quart cooler with some Padron x000 boxes and the like. As long as you spend 2.8 million on the wife for a toy she won't complain much.

I was about to pull the trigger before I heard about the mark up. Oh well, I guess I will have to build my own.
 
Wow... that's a wicked looking humi. But with that money I think I'd rather just get a smaller humi that'll fit a few boxes worth of cigars, stock it with some Padron Annis, buy a BMW M3, and pay off my student loans.

But could he get Fidel to sign it for him? That's the breaker...
