Hey Hi Hello!
On today’s episode of Interesting Stuff That Somebody Didn’t Want, the item at hand is something that is still used by a lot of people these days; while it might not be ancient enough to be of any value, I’ve never actually seen one of these before today. The box shown below is a cigar humidor, and they're designed to keep your finest cigars at just the right moisture level so that they don't rot or go stale. It’s really just a box with something called a hygrometer, that measures the atmosphere around it
Really you can put pretty much any kind of tobacco in it from what I understand, and even baseballs, as the overall water level in the ball (no matter how small) can have an effect on its performance in a game. Nothing super high tech.
This might just be too mildly interesting though, so I’m also posting some pictures of a find I had a while back. I just found it interesting enough to save, as I knew they existed but never even thought I’d see one. It’s a bible, but not one most people would like. I leafed through a couple peages, and the content is by no means anything less than R-Rated in some areas, but it’s not as morbid as I thought it would be, if I’m honest. I’ll just leave you with that.
The cigar humidor is actually pretty interesting. I didn't realize that a device was required for keeping them at the optimal humidity. I guess it likely exists for those that take their cigars super seriously. Interesting note about the baseballs though, I didn't know about that.
