Finally! I can post in this thread with my final product, lol.

Chasidor drawers came in a couple weeks back, but I haven't had time to reorganize the cigars until last night. Did that and now here is my story...

When I first started smoking, I only bought a couple cigars at a time and kept them like this (~2005):

Then I expanded my knowledge a little bit and bought a little 50 count desktop and a digital hygro. Now I could keep a few more cigars than I was going to smoke in a week and this is how I stored cigars for a solid four and a half years (starting mid 2005):

Then I joined CA in April of 2010. Within a couple months I was out of singles room, keeping a couple boxes in tupperware, and still wanted to buy more. I decided to get a vinodor and some beads and at the same time, I ordered some Chasidor drawers to put in it. While I waited on the drawers and shelves, I filled it up as best I could:

During that wait...I ran out of room again. Just needing a little bit more storage for a few boxes, I bought a 75quart cooler and another pound of beads. Within a couple months (around the end of 2010), the cooler was full as well:

So I shuffled cigars around, consolidated boxes with each other, and tried to juggle stuff as best I could. Finally, my dream day came, and my Chasidor drawers and shelves came in. I knew that would be the solution to all my problems! So I sorted through everything, dumped the half boxes and singles into the drawers, and kept a few choice singles in my desktop, and the others in their mostly full boxes. Here is the final Vinodor results all nice and organized!

Unfortunately, my 50 count is still about half full, my cooler is 100% full, and the vino itself, while having a bit of room, is mostly full too. The only upside is that everything is MUCH easier to get to now with the sorted drawers and whatnot. Before there were half a dozen boxes of singles/half boxes mixed together so I had to dig through everything to get to it.

So for now, I don't have any box purchases in mind, and any singles I do buy, I'll stuff in the nooks and crannies in the vino. If I only had purchased more drawers, but I had no idea how many cigars I would have in just under a year, haha.
