Here's what I've acquired, since taking this hobby/passion to whole different level, approximately 14 months ago.

I hope you all enjoy what's taken over me  :bait:

This is my 'Opus Humi'.  It's now full and has some of every vitola.  This is 3-deep on the bottom.

This is my 'Padron Humi'.  Top shelf has some family reserves and I've arranged them to go maduro, natural, maduro, natural, etc.  It's pretty close to being full as well.  This is 4-deep on the bottom.  The 1964's are on the left and the 1926's are on the right.

This was the very first humidor I bought and mainly houses CC singles.  However, I've been getting low on singles, so the bottom is what I like to call the 'funeral home', because it has a lot of of Opus coffins :)

Well everyone, that's it.  As I'm sure you all know, this is 'ever-growing' :)

In closing, I'm going to end with a pic of my wife and I, from our wedding last weekend :)

You are on a role bro....Accumulating this in only 14 months is impressive!  Great taste too! 

It's cool to see someone else have an their own opus humi and padron humi.

Thank you all for the kind words.  I've been wanting to document my cigars for a while now and finally decided to the other morning.
