Kevin, though I got it in Nicaragua but this 4 Goat RAM heads box originally came from Bulgaria. The dealer told me this is an axion ritual item. Goat and Ram Heads are Sacred in Witchcraft and Satanism. The horned and hoofed Greek goat-god, Pan, is one of the most important entities of Witchcraft. Thor, the Norse god, was worshiped before the other gods of Valhalla. Some say he existed as early as the stone-age. Thor drove a great chariot, pulled by two giant, powerful goats. They symbolized thunder and lightning. Medieval legends say that the Devil created the goat. Satan himself often appeared with goat's horns, and sometimes changed his shape completely into a goat bla bla bla.
I find it as a beautiful craftsmanship and unusual looking humidor with classic touch.
Oh very cool, i'm not religious in anyway, but I certainly appreciate the unique art and craftsmanship that each religion has contributed. I'd love to know the story of how that got from Bulgaria to Nicaragua (hopefully more interesting that it was a trade amongst dealers. ) But that is going to make an awesome humidor and conversation piece.
That why I love your State Oregon. The number one atheist state in the United States. With due respect of others believe I am not a religious person. I enjoyed a short business trip in Portland last summer. I am also looking for a house there but didn't have enough time for searching one.
if you are familiar with Nicaragua history then you may know that there are one billionaire and six multi millionaires families who practically own the entire country. Most of them are either Italian or Spanish origin. Below them there are many European families who settled in Nicaragua. Specially after WW2 a lot of Germans came to Nicaragua to escape the International tribunal. All these families came with a lot of European art and crafts and still maintain strong connection with Europe. I believe this art piece came with one of those family. I asked for more detail from the dealer. I will let you know. He is a German-Nicaraguan and a solid art dealer. I have collected a lot of cool stuff through him. I will get back to you with more info later.

I picked this up a few weeks back while on my anniv trip with the wife it was the last 1 in the box but the guy at the store wouldnt sell me the box. So i went back in the morning and talked to the Manager and got this.. So i got the empty box after all. Now if i could find more of these...lol
Took a picture of it, but it's been years since I've posted a pic on here and I can't really figure it out. Anyway, got a package from Gray4Lines today. I returned fire just a few days after he sent his (should be receiving it soon).
He sent me a Cain F lancero tubo, Liga Privada Undercrown, Room 101, Perdomo Champagne, Xikar HC Criollo, Spectrer by AJ Fernandez, 5 Vegas A, and the 2013 CCom forum blend.

Winnings from the Movie Trivia Pass. As usual, Doug went above and beyond! Gurkha Beast is completely new to me and aptly named. Also, only the 2nd Gurkha in my possession, which seems odd for a brand with so many lines. I was just looking at the Schizo today...premonition? Another Nub for me to try and another Serie 'A' to add to the cooler. Goes without saying that you can do no wrong with the Nica and the Undercrown.
