Show Us Your Tobacco Decanters/Humidors

On the heels of our discussion on the use of tobacco humidors/decanters for the purpose of both long and short term storage I thought it might be the perfect occasion for members to post pictures of the decorative humidors/decanters in their collection. Mason Jars now take the place of my humidors for long term tobacco storage but I keep these three around for decorative purposes ... and the occasional storage of packaged bulk tobacco awaiting transfer to a Mason Jar.

Here are a few of mine. I only use these for display purposes, because I have found they struggle to maintain humidity the way they should.

@xDutchx You've got a couple of real beauties. That's why I could never completely part with the humidor. There is a classic quality about them that is part of the pipe smoking history. A Mason Jar may be the perfect way for long term storage but I've always felt like tobacco should be stored in a humidor/decanter and pickles and peppers should be in a Mason Jar.

@ghostsofpompeii, I really like the one you have in the center. Do you know it's origin and what material it is made from? I have never seen one like it, and I'm curious.

All were Christmas gifts at one time or another - and if memory serves me my wife purchased them from The Tinder Box.

ghosts, It is a very unique piece. It reminds me of Japanese Egg Art, and I am guessing that is what it was styled after.
