How do you organize your humidor?
 

How do you sort your cigars/boxes in your humidor? By brand, country, size, etc...

I sort by country, then size. If I sort by brand, it takes up way too much space.

But now, my humidor is getting to the point where my cigars from one specific country:rolleyes: are taking up more then one shelf and I'm going to have to expand to another countries shelf. It looks like my Dominican and Nicaraguan shelves are going to merge to the bottom. Only thing that I don't like is that I'm going to have to bend over to pick up my DPG's and Illusiones.:(

This is an obsessive compulsive cigar smokers biggest nightmare. Never thought I'd be saying this since I bought my 3000-ct, but I should've gone bigger.:ss

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

i have 2 humidors. a 160 ct that i built myself and a 75 count.

i store cigars that i have yet to try and might like in the 75 count. If i like the cigar after a couple of times smoking it, i buy more and they go into my larger humi.

in that humidor, they are organized by manufacturer.

I wish I had your problem :ss

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

well i have a 100ct desktop with some everyday value smokes. (full)
1X 65L coolidor. has 50 NC singles and 7 NC boxes
1X 65L coolidor has 12 CC boxes aging.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

Interesting because I was cleaning up my cabinet yesterday. I keep brands together in the drawers but the boxes are placed where they fit best. I log everything on a spreadsheet so I can find what I need and also keep an inventory.

Been working on a walk-in humi and when that is done all the boxes will go on shelves and I will be able to walk around and admire them. :)

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

Try to keep brands together- and one big box with orphans.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

My humis/coolers aren't organized at all. I have too many different brands/countries to keep them organized.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I have three "humidors". One is for CC, one is for NC, one is for orphans.

My CC humi is most organized. I sort by Marka, but since I usually only have one vitola per marka (at this point) then they are typically all the same rough size.

My NC humi is also organized by Marka. But, there is more vitola variation per brand in there. So, the space is a little more wasted there, combining with the fact that NCs tend to be larger, makes that humi quite crowded.

The orphan humi is a complete tetris game, and packed to the gills (its really a transparent box similar to a mini-pelican case...holds 30 if I give them a little squeeze)

Cheers

Same here...pandemonium reigns!!

:D

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

For my Vino I just hum tetris music and see what I can cram in there.

For my coffee table I keep my prized yard gars in a prominent central location and the rare and expensive sticks off to the sides. That way when new people want to try a cigar they are happy to grab a cheap stick and anyone who know better can still get to the good stuff.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

No method to my madness. When I get cigars I move things around to make room. Maybe someday I'll organize.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I have one Vino that is for CC aging. It is not really organized... I would say Tetrisized.

My other Vino is for NCs and single CCs. I have two drawers of NCs that are for anytime smoking. One is mostly DP blends and one is mostly gifted sticks. I also have two trays of CCs that are for anytime smoking. They are mostly gifted. A few boxes of NCs have also migrated up into that Vino.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

Mostly boxes so that's just a big game of Tetris. ;)

I have two small humis inside my big humi, one for cc singles and the other for NC singles.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

Everything is based on size, big stuff on the bottom and small stuff up top. Don't have to many different brands so it's not a big deal to find what I want at this time.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I put 'em where they fit. That is all.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

Organized? I just wiggle and shake, the hummi that is, until they all fit! :D

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

:tpd:

It's a big game of cigar Tetris for me.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

my vinos are choc full.. I've started combining boxes together to save on space and at the same time selling some smokes that I don't plan on smoking immediately or can easily obtained

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I just have a 100-count. In the bottom I have bundles of my favorites so far. The top tray is loose singles, plus a little overflow from the bottom.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

NC and CC are split up.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

i am a stickler for "presentation" so i never could use space efficiently. A few weeks ago i was driving myself crazy because i could make it all fit while having it look nice.... So i decided to bomb the crap out fo my friends and now i am down to "spick and span" in the humi!

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

same here. i am a little anal on how everything looks. lol

I like a clean looking humidor.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

me too, I actually sort my top tray (the one you can see thru the glass) in order of wrapper darkness... far left is ultra dark, far right is light brown. :D

under that tray I have them sorted by brand, by type... ie - 1 stack of 5Vegas Gold next to 1 stack of 5Vegas Classic next to 1 stack 5Vegas Miami...

I guess I'm a bit anal about it as well. lol

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I'd say!!!!:r:r

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I wish I had enough cigars to need some sort of organizational system lol!

I keep boxes on one half and then a few trays of singles on the other of the cooler

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I organize my coolidor the only way I can (read=the only way they'll fit:D). I've become a master at tetris.

My desktop is ordered with give aways (to non-smokers) in a smaller compartment and the keepers are in the large compartment usually arranged by size.

I got one packed cooler right now and a desktop. Looking at getting another cooler quickly just for boxes that I'm putting down for a long nap. That would help make some room.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I'd like to get a new cooler too but the problem is I'll fill it up and I can't afford that:D

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I like my smokes all in order divided by country, brand, size, and whether or not they are in the cellophane or not. Not to mention that they are all facing the same way with the band up and able to be read.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

We are supposed to organize our cigars??? Nobody told me!!!:r

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

Well yes....yes you are.

Otherwise, keeping different types of cigars too close together allows them to swap each others aromas and taste over time.....in essence they "marry". You don't want that, you don't want your cohibas to start tasting like your macunodos now do you?

That is, of course, if you buy into that crap. I can't say this truly happens, but why not. You don't put vanilla extract in your humi for fear that all your esplendidas will turn into swisher sweet.

Cheers

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

mostly by brand then size

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I guess I'm the non-conformist. Older ones in the top tray, newer ones in the bottom. I don't have enough to get any more anal than that.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I don't really have the country of origin problem, so I sort by marca. ;)

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

D'Oh! You are supposed to organize them???? Like Dan, country of origin is not a problem, but I just jam the boxes in wherever they will fit. Sometimes I will consolidate dress boxes in cabinets if available.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I put cigars in it.
:tu

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I have emptied all my dress boxes into small humidors that basically act like big cabs, then I cram everything else in any empty space.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I sort by getting another humi! :ss

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

If you want to see organized, look at Nick's humi!:cool2::cool2:

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I'll 2nd that! :ss

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I just have two drawers sorted. One is nothing but lancero's and the other is nothing but Fuente stuff. Everything else is just there.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

you have some lucky friends, in my opinion ;)

greets tjeerd

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I keep all my boxes in my cooler in no particular order. The singles end up in my 300 count. I try to keep all my singles organized by brand but that doesn't always happen. Since the top of the humi is glass I keep my most impressive singles in the top tray. Beyond that there's really not too much organization in there.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I used to use software to keep up with em, but quit. I have two of the double trays from Chasden for my vino and just have em in there and a few boxes with loose ones in there as well.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

You pig!!!:ss:ss

Let's herf!!!

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I just dumped all the contents from all boxes into 1 large cardboard box that just fits into my wine cooler....


J/k...

Single MTMouse custom combo tray for the singles... all the rest in boxes... don't have enough to play Tetris right now...

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I tried to sort by size - not enough space

I tried to sort by brand - not enough space

I tried to sort by anything - not enough space

Now I don't sort I simply pack to fit the space.

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I sort them by brand. It takes some time and some organizational skills but this is what I do. My cabinet is set up this way and I have seperate humis for my CC vitolas which is set up the same. I also seperate the different brands and vitolas with strips of cedar from empty boxes in hopes of slowing down the marrying process. I also have another humi that stores my everyday smokes, another for work/yard gars.

Yeah, I've got the OCD something awful :hn

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

So, if you just described your method as being my method exactly, and you go and say that you have OCD does that mean I am also mentally ill?

I say its just you....I am still OK

Re: How do you organize your humidor?
 

I pack it so they all fit in there. And if I take something out, they never go back in the same way...
