Nice one, Colin!

colinb913 · 01-12-2012, 11:19 PM

Thanks man, I am waiting on a box to be shipped in from c-bid, and tomorrow at work I will probably pick up a few more to throw in there.

01-12-2012, 11:23 PM

I was considering buying some boxes and doing this myself.

You can get something like 10 empty cigar boxes from Thompson Cigar for like 20 bucks. Was thinking about getting those and actually lining the inside of the cooler for pure aesthetic reasons.

colinb913 · 01-12-2012, 11:25 PM

I get them for next to nothing at work. Alot of brothers don't even bother with lining, and just use the boxes cedar. I am sure either way works perfectly.

Well, I have a design background, so things have to LOOK right for me.

I'm sure a setup like yours would be absolutely functionally sound, but as classy as cigar smoking is, I figure it should look classy, yeah?

Will do! I cant wait! 99 sticks coming and a ash tray! and I just scored a 5-pack for 1.00! gotta love it!

BTW mama seen the bill from the first order and didn't bat a eye.

Sure, I have a nice wood humidor that everyone that wants a cigar sees, I keep stocked with singles, and basically on display.. But a coolidor is a great way to store boxes and bulk items and not have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Well that and I really enjoy working with my hands, followed by a celebration cigar, of course.

You just got lucky sir, that's all, but nice price for a 5er!

Go to the local B&M, ask them for them.. Or they may even sell them for cheap. That is what I ended up doing..

I just scored a 5er of Oliva G maduros on Cigar Auctioneer for 10 bucks!!

Keeping an eye on a box of diesels in free fall. Also watching a 5er of gurkha beast. I have been wanting to try one for a while.

I'm watching some boxes of 5 Vegas AAA. Going to buy two - one for me and one for my son in law for the birth of my first grandbaby - Aubrey Nicole

Already sent him a couple of FFOX for our own private celebration on that day. The 5 Vegas will be our handout cigars

The bad thing is I will probably be in India on a joint training exercise with the Indian Army when she is born so I'll have to carry all these with me

colinb913 · 01-16-2012, 04:25 PM

Just put them in the coolidor for some down time before I light one up!

I am curious how you are going to line the cooler. How would you stick the cedar to the walls of the cooler?

I have bought a couple boxes of 30 Diesel Unholy Cocktails on the Freefall when they are about $75. I like 'em as a every day smoke. I think they have a tendency to go south after about 2/3 of the way through, but I can live with that.

I used hot glue. No after smell, and so far its worked great..
