WoooooHooooo....!

[BlindedByScience]

Later this year I'll be celebrating a "significant decimal" birthday and I wanted to get myself something nice. Got the OkeeDokee from Ms. B.B.S. and I just got off the phone with Bob Staebell. I've commissioned a reasonably large, vertical, cooled cabinet to house my smokes. It'll be a "full custom" to utilize space I have. I haven't started pacing yet but it's close...... :laugh:

If there's a nicer and more professional guy to do business with, I haven't met him yet. Bob and I started swapping e-mail off and on before the first of the year. Throughout the "what if" process he has been patient, informed, and a good guy to ask questions. I'll end up with a perfect solution to my storage wants, and this will fit in a space I have now that will make it a real show piece in my home. No more "coolerdor tetris" and I won't have to worry when the temps get above 70F outside. I can't wait.....!!!!..... :thumbs:

I'll update this thread over the next few weeks with pics, info, etc. but to say I'm looking forward to this would be a pretty huge understatement...!!!

Cheers - B.B.S.

Congratulations B.B.S., you will not be disappointed. I have had my end table humi for about three months and absolutely love it. As you mentioned, Bob is very professional and just an all around great guy. His work is simply amazing. Great choice :thumbs:

Hey Tom, you going to go get it, or will you allow it to be shipped?

My vacation time for the year is quickly being alotted (CP Vegas Herf, PacNW herf later this year, etc). TX is a reasonably long drive from WA so I think I'll entrust the shipping to Bob's good judgment.
