Coolidor project

[jesseboston81]

In my opinion, once you're in coolidor territory it's just easier to use empty boxes to hold singles rather than special trays. I like the look of handcrafted trays in a vinodor since they add to the display factor (like the vino I have on display in my dining room), but coolidors generally are all about function and not really aesthetics--just toss any singles in empty boxes, and that way you can adjust which empty boxes you are using to fit the amount of singles you have and the available space in the coolidor.

Of course, this is all my opinion. Some people like fancy shelves and trays in their coolidors, and Forrest even makes a very handsome set of drawers for the Coleman 150qt Marine cooler.

I know and that is the dilemna here. I was going to do a vino but ran into some financial troubles, now I am settleing for a coolidor and still have a desire to make it custom. And Forrest's thread is what inspired me to buy a cooler in the first place.

Thanks for your opinions guys, I will just be storing stuff in the cooler at first with only a box of cigars and a shelf out of my humidor for singles.

Exactly what I do.
