Newman Introduces the Home Run Humidor"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"s1\">For more than a century, J.C. Newman has celebrated the tradition of baseball and cigars. This legacy continues with the new Home Run Humidor. Handcrafted in America by Jason LeGear, owner and craftsman]of Milwaukee Humidor Company, the Home Run Humidor is a series of 50 unique cigar humidors made from game-used professional baseball bats. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">\u201cBaseball and cigars go hand-in-glove,\u201d said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThese unique humidors are shaped like home plate with five sides. They were handcrafted from broken bats provided by a professional baseball team. Due to league rules, I am not able to disclose the team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">The humidors are made from American Maple and Birch wood and European Beech wood from the baseball bats. Walnut details, sourced in Wisconsin by LeGear, mimic the stitching of a baseball. LeGear carefully repurposed each game-used baseball bat into veneers in order to transform them into one-of-a-kind humidors. In 2023, he handcrafted The American All-Star Humidor from the 2011 NBA All-Star Game court. Last year, he created humidors for the Tampa Bay Lightning with game-used pucks. He recently launched Milwaukee Humidor Co.\u2019s premier product, the Modern Drybox, a humidor specially designed for dryboxing cigars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cAny opportunity to incorporate handcraft and engineering into art is a challenge I am excited to step up to the plate for,\u201d said LeGear. \u201cThe Home Run Humidor is the pinnacle of functional humidor design for me as a craftsman. The biggest challenge has been rendering baseball bats, a notoriously round object, into flat veneer, and then meticulously hand-seaming each individual piece into a cohesive whole, as well as designing a functional humidor of a non-standard shape. Every baseball and cigar enthusiast will be thrilled to be a part of the unique history and celebration of America\u2019s national pastime every time they open the Home Run Humidor to enjoy a cigar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Because the wood used in the bats varies, each of the 50 humidors is a unique work of art. Each humidor has a capacity of 100 to 125 cigars and will include 25 Tampa Smokers cigars. The suggested retail price is $2,000. These special humidors will be ready to ship this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The humidors are made from American Maple and Birch wood and European Beech wood from the baseball bats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":71158,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[441,49,2812,44],"tags":[9661,2794],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71157"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71157"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71157\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71160,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71157\/revisions\/71160"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
