Thanks everyone,

Honestly, a lot of these questions can be answered by reading a bit around the forum. The beads are your choice, most prefer RH Beads or HCM Beads.

You can never have too many cigars, they are like an investment in good times.

When I did mine, I just cleaned the plastic to get rid of the new plastic smell, then put my boxes and beads in. Probably the cheapest way to do it, but I am planning on picking up a drawer for singles soon!

Yes, the accessories forum has A LOT of great, useful information in regards to this matter! Surely helped me for sure setting my vino up =). But for me, I had shelves...but decided to just get boxes and whatnot.

Bro, if you have A/C in your house/apartment or have a cool basement, just buy a large cooler (120 quart+) and some beads and you are good to go. Cheaper than going with a wine fridge like you say you want most of your money going towards cigars.

I got lucky on mine. Got on Craigslist and found a new in box 16btl. Wine cooler for 50$ plus close to 80ish on shelves (6) with taxes from cheaphumidorsdotcom of course you can get them from a member here but I found out a bit too late. So all in all I spent less then 200. I think I got more then double that amount on cigars now
