Cigar Flash Drive with Glowing LED at Tip

Here's a little DIY project for your Independence Day weekend. Instructables has provided a very detailed instructions on how to turn a perfect good cigar into a flash drive with glowing LED. The materials needed include a thick cigar; a very small thumbdrive; a pair of red LEDs; a 10k resistor; wood primer; tape; and some very thin paper. For tools, you need cutter, drills, X-Acto knives set, soldering iron, desolder kit, and hot melt gun as well as glue.

In a nutshell, procedures are to bore out the cigar, prime the internal leaves, gut the flashd rive, connect to the LED, insert flash drive components into the cigar body, and lastly glue the ends. The guy started this obviously has too much time on his hand. Personally, we would rather watch the July 4th parade.
