Downtown Wine & Spirits opened downtown Knoxville in 2007. They have always carried a great selection of wine and spirits but in 2016 they decided carry cigars. They called Old North Designs in need of a custom humidor. This specific case needed to be half, a locked case for high end spirits, and half a moisture regulated cigar case. The upper half designer, Spencer utilized glass shelves to better show off the spirits while in the lower half the case is completely lined with Spanish cedar. Spanish cedar best regulates temperature and humidity while also preserving the flavors of the cigar. Spencer finishes it off with a unique vintage latch to give the case a tight seal. The exterior casing is made out of mahogany and lighting lined the interior corners to brighten up the display.
Once Downtown Wine & Spirits had a beautiful humidor, they were in need of another project, sturdy shelves for behind the register. Before the shelves they had, had collapsed once or twice and never looked good. But now these strong floating shelves allow for ample storage and make a bold statement for right behind the register.
