I honestly don’t have a heck of a lot to say about this, but just had to share it with you. It’s a humidor that just happens to also be a sort of an architectural model of the capitol building, and it has recently appeared in the window of a strange little cigar shop on Market that I walk past everyday on my way home from work. And the thing that I’m not sure if you can tell from the photo is: this thing is big–like several feet across big. A giant humidor. In the shape of the capital building. No joke. I’m tempted to try and make some lame witticism now about cigars as lawmakers, or lawmakers as cigars, but I’ll spare you.

Special thanks and photo credit go to Melissa Manlove for agreeing to photograph it digitally, thereby saving me from my luddite self.

    I was lucky enough to find the capital humidor. It is the most architectually intricate of the four. It weighs over 50 lbs. It is an excellent humidor, and makes me want to say the Pledge of Allegiance every time I want a cigar.
    Should want to collect all 4 creations, you will need a big house, lots of stogies, and a bank loan.

    Just saw a very old exchange in which you indicated you had a U.S. Capitol humidor for sale. Any chance you still have it? If, so, I'm looking for one for a holiday gift. Many thanks. Mike Freedman mfr@gwu.edu
