New Coolidor!
 

My slide down the slope started pretty quick and my humidor is full, so I ordered some beads and bought a cooler today. Time to clean it and start the seasoning and see if it will last me awhile. :D

Tyler,
Coolidors don't "season".
Clean it.
Moisten your beads.
Place in cooler along with cigars.
Done.

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Good luck Tyler! I started with 1 and now have 2 along with 3 humi's and an end table.

The slope is very slippery!!! :noon

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Good start.....it might last you a couple of weeks

Re: New Coolidor!
 

What Peter said!

Also throw some wooden boxes in or pieces of boxes to help regulate the RH. They will absorb the RH and keep things running smooth.

I you are putting boxes in from the start then you will be good to go! :tu

Re: New Coolidor!
 

nice bro! :tu

Re: New Coolidor!
 

have fun man. I love this slope. I wish i could have a set of ski's that way i could at least control my self a little more. I am like an 18 year old at a strip joint... I can in with my whole pay check now i am broke lol

Re: New Coolidor!
 

I think I set up my coolidor 6-8 weeks after joining CA. Enjoy the slide down the slope.

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Thanks for the advice guys! Alot easier than a humidor. I need to go out and pick up another digital hydrometer for it sometime this weekend. I've already have some boxes, but may pick up a couple more for singles.

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Way cool!

I was supposed to jump clean off the cliff this weekend. I had a deal with a guy that was giving up the hobby. He had 3 large iglooadors 4 wooden humidors ,lots of accessories and cigars to boot. I called a hour ago to set up a time to pick up and got the....."uh there already sold"......damn!:sad

Re: New Coolidor!
 

I hate when that happens. I'm hoping I won't fill this up for at least a year. We'll see.

Re: New Coolidor!
 

NICE, Tyler! I don't know why you're starting small, you know if a few months that thing is going to be too small! :r

I'm going to wash mine out tomorrow. I'll have to do it outside, I'm not sure it'll even fit in the shower. :banger

Re: New Coolidor!
 

I saw the 150 qt and I don't even know if it would fit in my car. Not sure the wife would like it either. She looked at me like I was crazy when I told her why I was buying the small one.

Re: New Coolidor!
 

:r
I have a cover on the bed of my truck and it wouldn't close with the cooler in the back. It's a freaking beast. The wife asked where I was going to put it................I said the living room of course. :gary
So it'll be going in my closet once I redo it.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahah

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Nice coolidor, man! Show us some pics when you got her full...

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Looking good DC, and yep that will be filled in no time :tu

Re: New Coolidor!
 

I've been on a lot of slippery slopes in my life and cigars is by far the steepest and fastest slope I've ever enjoyed.

Re: New Coolidor!
 

:tu:tu

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Very nice! I am still using the tupperware for my sticks. A cooler will be in my future.

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Wha?

Re: New Coolidor!
 

He must be confused since he's been smacked by both of us this week. :r

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Mickey stays confused, he'll call you by other peoples names all the time. :r

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Haha :tu

Looks like the damage was both physical AND mental. Love it! You and I should found a bomb team called "Team Psycho" or something. :D

Re: New Coolidor!
 

haha. Sounds good!

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Nice work Tyler! :tu Now get to work on filling that thing up with some delicious tobacco goodness!

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Not by me, just the CA way, so be careful, at least you didn't post a pic of the empty cooler ;)

Yeah, that very unexpected from both of you, and pics are coming, I am starting to feel better, thanks guys

That's right Hershel.:tu

Re: New Coolidor!
 

I got the cooler cleaned and aired out and got the beads put in. It was reading a perfect 65%, so I put the cigars in this afternoon. My old humi wasn't holding humidity very well and it was cheap, so I took the lid off and will use it for singles. Should have plenty of space for awhile!

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Soon this will just be your "overflow" cooler! 150qt in your near future!!!:D

Re: New Coolidor!
 

:lr:lr:lr:lr:lr

Have fun filling it bro!

I started about 6 months ago with a bag of 20 cigars given to me for a discount on my golf clubs I sold this guy (I have zero cigars at all before this and only had some for occasion) ... from there I went to a 100ct humi, 2 weeks later a 8 bottle wineador with 2 trays and digital hygro, 1 month later a 28 bottle wineador full with 7 trays in the front 5 overflow trays in the back with 2 digital hygros 2 fans and full humidification ... and I'm now getting full in about 4 odd months! HOLY GEEZ Has this been one HELL of a slope!

Good luck in not filling it up this year ... You might as well just give in know ... once you have space .... You CAN'T HELP but fill it!

Wait till you start trading ... then it's all over from there for sure!!!

YEP !!!

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Wow Chris! It didn't take you long at all!

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Only a 48qt? I made that mistake to!

Re: New Coolidor!
 

The good thing about 48qts is that you can play tetris with them in your closet. Lot easier to use vertical space in your home and easier to dig through the coolers when you looking for something.

Re: New Coolidor!
 

Well, maybe I should have gotten a bigger cooler. Only a couple of weeks later and after getting hit hard on the NST and going a little crazy on the devil site, I'm running out of room. I'll see what it looks like after the cbid shipment arrives and a couple of trades get here next week.
I'm blaming everyone on here for my new obsession. :banger
