BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Scam?
yes, scam.
seller mentions Aristocrat in title to get some attention. the pic is not very detailed, so a little hard to tell exactly. But lets go over what is obvious.
1) Bob Staebell usually does not put the electrical plug inside of the cabinet. That plug creates heat which is the enemy of cigars. That is a gimmicky feature of "made in china" cabinets. Matt from Avallo does not put them inside of the cabinet.
2) the humidification system is not what Bob uses. That humidification system is very low tech when compared to what Matt,Bob, or Arlin uses.
3) shelves - doesnt look like anything that Bob does. Slats are running from front to rear, vs right to left as Bob usually makes them.
4)humidity canister - nothing like what I have seen Bob use.
this is not the first time that I have seen a craigslist seller advertise a cheapo chinese cabinet as a custom made at inflated prices.
