Coolidors

[MikeyRocks]

I got one of these from Walmart to store my singles & 5 packs (only cost about $6). It takes up a bit of room, but helps keep everything organized in my coolidor. Buy boxes if you can, and like others have said, check with a local B&M, usually they're more than willing to give you old boxes. I like to take the tops off mine and let the air circulate.

(Humidity is a little high, but it was a pretty hot and humid day here today)

Don't look like they are in baggies to me. Just their own cello. However, there is nothing wrong with storing your cigars in baggies in a cooler. Common practice, really.

And with this container? Would you advise to store singles in there?

I'm with Brother Radio on this one... I don't see ANY concern for keeping them in the bin, as long as it doesnt' have any overly-plasticy smells to it.

Hmmmm, maybe I am just over-thinking or being too paranoid, but wouldn't have one of these defeat the purpose of having a humi? It doesn't look like it seals well and if it's only $6 why isn't everyone using these.

I'm not trying to nitpick, I am just trying to wrap my mind around this, I think it's an awesome idea, it just seems too easy for it to work correctly.

It is inside of his coolidor so it only functions as a shelving unit, his coolidor keeps the RH around it.

I think you are missing the part where the $6 drawer contraption is placed inside of the coolerdor.
It is simply a storage solution.
Others use empty boxes and some use trays.
Whatever works for you!

Mr. Bass,

we've ALL been there... countless hours spent staring at a hygrometer, hoping our precious babies will be O.K.... Before long, you'll be checking it once a month to make sure everything is O.K. and just how you left it.

I find that having empty cigar boxes (easily and readily available at your local B&M) will do wonders for storage as long as you put them inside a coolidor, vinotemp, or huge tupperware container. Mike chose to put his in a 'cosmetics drawer' (at least that's what my wife uses that exact rig for), and the entire contraption inside the cooler.

It takes a lot less due diligence than you think. I've been at this hobby for quite a while, and after time it seems like a piece of cake. But, we all remember starting down the slope and the precious investment.

Until you get comfortable, we'll be here to answer your questions.
