Question
Hi Bill ,
  I recently purchased an old copper lined humidor stand . Inside it, was  6 solid copper rods about 7 in. long . I would assume they have something to do with keeping tobacco fresh . I have found no info on them . Please help me figure out what these are .Please email me back .

Answer
Sherry,

Sorry about the delayed response, I have been out of the office several days.

I'd like to see a picture of the humidor you have. I've never seen one lined with copper, nor have I seen one with copper rods inside it. Typically cigar humidors are lined with Spanish cedar. Send me a picture at b.finck@finckcigarcompany.com and I'll try to help you figure it out.

Thanks,
Bill

Expertise

I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.

Experience

In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
