Cooler's

[Dude Here]

To echo what the others here have said, coolers are a cheap, very effective way to store a lot of cigars. Set up is simple, just wash out with some soap and water and let it air out for a few days. After that it's completely maintenance free. Toss in a pound of beads and you're good to go for months. My 70qt easily holds 12 boxes, hygrometer and a pound of beads. RH stays at a solid 65%.

Switching over from a traditional SC desktop unit to a cooler is one of the best decisions I could have made. Granted, a cooler isn't as nice looking as a cabinet or table humi, but it's a lot more durable. My kids climb all over and jump off of mine and it handles the abuse just fine.

Changing to a coolerdor was one of the smartest things I've done; absolutely foolproof.

Best thing for me is that i have 3 (formerly 4, but son in law now working the big one) humidors. But,weather here is very changeable as is the humidity.
e.g. ambient humidity in our place has been between 14% and 24 %.

This means i am frequently working with the humi's.

Since i got my cooler, cleaned it with baking soda and aired it out 2 days, lined it with panels of empty spanish cedar cigar boxes, and, brought up to 68%;

I have not had to do anything but fill it. This has been my first experience with beads and I can't tell you how happy I am.

My cooler is 50 qt and a cube. Very stackable with a small footprint. ( very important as we sold our house and downsized considerably to an apartment that gives us much more free time)
Now I am planning on my second cooler in likely a couple months so i can separate duplicate boxes for aging and a second for open boxes and singles.
While I keep my day to day singles in my humi's.
It is a beautiful thing
