Some advice please :)

At least for me, almost as a rule, if the silly box is overly large (and thereby taking up valuable humidor space) or oddly shaped, I remove all the cigars from the box and place them on my trays instead.

Since my coolers are so well regulated in terms of humidity and temperature, I don't worry too much about keeping things in their boxes. Usually, I even remove the cello from the cigars since that seems to speed up the process of getting their moisture level stablized.

The only boxes I keep in my cooler/humidors are those which are reasonably sized (just a thin cedar box with no frills around it).

The only exception to this are the clear cigar jars. I love those things. They take up a bit more room, but one nice thing about the clear jars is that if you have cigars which you're not 100% certain about it's origin, you can isolate them in the jars in the case of a beetle break out--at least I'm reasonably certain that the little buggers can't eat through those jars nor their seals.
