The history of my humidors

Part 2

February 2007

Around this time I discovered Skype. While chatting with the guys on there I found that they were buying cigars by the box. That posed a new problem for me and my little desktop. So I placed an order for this. (Sorry for the stock photo...but my footlocker is buried in a cooler that's buried in the basement)

September 2007

My current set up worked pretty good for me. I wasn't buying a ton of cigars in the summer. However, when fall moved in I was back in the buying mode.
So I picked up a cooler. (Stock photo again...cause this is the cooler that has the footlocker in it that's buried in the basement) I eventually ended up with 2 of these coolers.

May 2008

By this time my wife was getting a tad aggravated with all the coolers and humidors in our home office. I have to admit that it was pretty ridiculous looking. So after I told her about the cabinet that Dave (68Trishield) had built for him and how nice it was she gave me the green light to order one for myself.

I emptied all my coolers and humidors and put everything I have in the cabinet.
Now that I sit here and put this post together I realize how much money I've spent on cooler, humidors, beads, fans, etc....

Anyhow, for all the new guys out there, I'm not saying that you need to start out with a cabinet. I just wanted to show my progression in this hobby. If I had to do it all over again...I would start off with a huge cooler and not with the desktops and such.
