Admit it. At one time or another, you’ve fantasized about being a secret agent. Whether you saw yourself as 007 or Maxwell Smart, Siglo Accessory’s Biometrico fingerprintID humidor ($1,257) will now grant you the sort of high-level security clearance and technology previously reserved for government operatives.
As sophisticated as the internal electronics are, you don’t have to have the tech savvy of Q to operate this 100-count humidor. Simply place your finger on the reader, which is located unobtrusively on the humidor’s lower right-hand corner. Once it recognizes your fingerprint, you’re in like Our Man Flint, with unbridled access to your otherwise classified cigars. Use the wrong finger and access is denied.
