A new old hobby

     So, a new old hobby... Lol. Like I haven't got enough hobbies, right?
     So far, I build AR-15 rifles, working on a 10/22 build, modify Mosin-Nagant rifles, have a 1911 project in the works, more or less... I've also got my 79 Fairmont Futura needing work here and there, slight upgrades, wiring cleanup, etc. I still occasionally tinker with computers, various woodworking projects, and now I also have a new used house to work on, with a workshop... So naturally I needed another hobby...
     Years ago, when I was 18 or 19 (possibly a year younger, it's been a while) I tinkered with smoking fine hand-rolled cigars... It didn't last long, a few months or so, and then being 18 or 19, there were so many more things that "needed" my money more...
     Now I have a house, instead of an apartment, and can enjoy my smokes in leisure, on the porch or in my workshop. So dive back in I have, going in the span of less than 2 month, from no cigars, to over 300 sticks...
     My intention here is to also post occasional cigar reviews, and get a little better about posting projects of mine, either in-progress or complete... And I also need to get better about writing down my rants and raves when they enter my head, instead of thinking I'll remember them until later, heh.

     Anyway, moving onward... At the moment, I have two humidors, both holding 100 sticks more or less, and a cheapo humidor that holds maybe 20... So I've been wanting to upgrade to a wineador, but with my recent layoff, that is not a financially responsible path... A coolerdor isn't attractive, but is incredibly functional, with somewhere to hide it... not really my style...
     And then I came upon this...



     A Coleman Woodside cooler... I've got some big plans for this, stay tuned...!
