Storage advice...

[coastietech]

Once again I need the advice of the more seasoned and salty member of the cigar world.

I currently have 3 humis, a 75 ct, a 125ct (removed the top tray so it now holds 215, I counted), and a 20ct. They are all full. So now my choices are either drop ~$120 for a large cooler and 2lbs of beads or spend a little more and get a bigger desktop humi.

I can't afford to get a large cabinet type humi right now so I figure the cooler'dor or the large desktop would be a better idea. The only issue I see with the cooler'dor is that I don't really buy in boxes. Most everything I buy is in singles or 5'ers. These makes me lean towards the desktop. However if I should decide to buy a box in the future unless I take the cigars out of the box I can't store them in the desktop.

So what say you all? Should I get another desktop or should I just get a cooler'dor?

You're going to need the coolerdor. Trust me. :tu

Get empty boxes from a B+M and a cooler :tu

I have space in my desktop - just ship your overflow stock to me and I'll "store" it for you. :r

:tpd: I'd say go with the coolerdor and empty boxes from the B&M like he said.

Depending on how many different sizes and formats of cigar you smoke, you can probably limit the boxes to 2 or 3 different sizes.
- Fewer sizes and shapes will help with placement in the cooler and reduce wasted space.
There are also some helpful suggestions in this Thread: Cooler (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=19790)

It's been said many, many times before when considering cigar storage...

Alright well between the reponses here, and the threat that Emjaysmash made to me looks like I'm getting a cooler. :tu

Thank you all again for your advice.

Go with the cooler! More bang for the buck and you'll have more money left over for cigars!! :)
