Detailed Pics of La Gloria Cubana Serie R Limitada Humidor

[sboyajian]

In my other thread a couple people mentioned they would like to see more detailed photos of the LGC 2006..

I apologize if the quality is not wonderful.. my camera is on it's last leg and I won't get my new one until xmas (at least that's what the wife says..)

Enjoy.. if you have any questions or would like to see a certain part that maybe I didn't take a picture of, let me know and I'll see what I can do to help out.

Looks realy good man. The cigars too!!

That's absolutely beautiful. Looks like it's made of Macassar Ebony and the black pieces might be Gaboon Ebony. Those are some of the most exotic woods available. Both are more than 75.00 bucks a foot. That is a real beauty. Nice score. Could you post a picture of the whole lid opened?

One more question, is there some sort of finish on the Cedar?

Not 100% sure about the Gaboon.. but you are correct, it is Macassar Ebony for the body.

I am at work right now, but I will surely take some shots with the lid opened (full view of the lid). Which side are you looking to see (open from the back or from the front?)

I have always wondered that myself. There appears to be no finish (at least I don't feel one).. but the cedar has always appeared more "red" than I am used to seeing Spanish cedar.. It's been hard finding out much info about the box, most sites give the box a sentence or two and then talk for paragraphs about the cigars that come with it.

Great pics and a beautiful humidor! I recently picked up the 2004-2006 boxes and love them - the quality is amazing. Now I'm looking into the 2007 version - that's the crown jewel of the collection.

Do you buy them individually or with the cigars.. I wanted to try a few of the cigars (especially the maduros), but I got my box empty (and at a hefty discount)..

I really like the 2007 as well, and really want to try the 2002 Serie R Especiale that is in it.. my local b&m has the 2007, but he keeps refilling stock in it, so he's not quite ready to sell it.

Absolutely Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both sides of the lid if you don't mind. I'd like to build my own version of A humi like that.

O'rly? Well if it wasn't full I'd send you the whole thing to inspect..

I'll take a rediculous amount of pictures for you from all kinds of angles..

Very nice looking humi. I wish I had the dollars for a humi that looked that nice.

my local b&m had it on the shelf (no cigars) for 400.. he offered it for 250.. I left and came back 3 hours later and offered 185.. he took it.
