Setting up my new EdgeStar

Yeah...I'm 100% boxes. Same 62-64 RH, probably 62-64 degrees as well. Great results.

My best advice, get drunk and forget about it.

I got really crazy at the start, because it doesn't hold temp and RH as well as a coolidor.

But everything is lower....which is better (IMO) so I don't care. My cigars feel GREAT. Got that right amount of spongyness.

I have a Newair 28 bottle but same concept. 1st I opened the box. Next I plugged it in. Then I but the wire shelves in. Last I put my cigar boxes, beads and hydro in. I'm at 65% 65f with adjusting the temp setting on the wine cooler. I keep it in the closet where external temps range from 74-86f, I have found no need for drip trays, fans, or electronic temperature controllers. Results may vary but I have read posts on other forums where weeks have been spent modifying the cooler with these items, results may vary but mine is working fine out of the box. So I'm will Bill on this one, not much is needed.
