How do you organize your humidor? - Page 3

acarr · 02-19-2009, 12:07 AM

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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

Rabidsquirrel · 02-23-2009, 08:33 PM

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

taltos · 02-23-2009, 08:49 PM

At present I am running two large desktops and 2 coolers. One desktop has all singles 5.5" and over and the other one has all singles under 5.5". Stuff that I don't smoke too often and I only have a couple of go into a box in the cooler that is labelled loose singles. Most overstock is in original boxes and is part of an ongoing Tetris game that will be played again Friday when an order comes in. One hint for cooler Tetris fans, Indian Tabac Classic Tomahawk boxes are perfect for holding an entire box of 25 toros in less space than a normal cigar box-they look more like an index card file box and can fit almost anywhere.

Sounds like you may be in the first stage of what "they" call denial. You know the stage where you think the doctor is wrong, that there is no way you have a mental disorder.

Don't have enough to organize.

If I did I'd probably organize them by Rocky Patel and........... ALL OTHERS.

Currently the plan is to leave them in the box they came in, or in the bag I bought them with. I usually get home just long enough to shove them in the Vino, and get back on the road. Since I have some of ChasDen's trays on order, I might actually have the girlfriend organize them however she wants, to see what she comes up with. Could be interesting!

I use the Tetris method. If that doesn't work I use the 10,000 lb. Press.
It gets the job done and i have created new blends.

CCs based on brand and size......

Created new blends and a few new boxed press cigars as well!

I stick with the Tetris method that seems to be fairly common here. I used to keep them organized by brand, but then space began to run low and now I peek through the space between the boxes to see what's behind them!

DPD6030 · 02-27-2009, 10:01 AM

I put boxes in and singles I sort by brand seperating with cedar sheets from boxes that I've made to fit in my drawer. I played cigar tetris in two vinos and ran out of room so yesterday I bought a 60qt. cooler.
