Anyone else have ideas or tips?

My Coolidor Pics

Here's a photo of the cooler I bought. I could only set it sitting horizontally. The two cedar trays I bought are too big to set any other way.

I was able to fit 120 cigars with plenty of room left (with some readjustments.)

Brenda that is REALLY impressive; you go girl!

I did notice however, that you seem to have waaaay too many cigars for a girl that has been smoking such a short time.

Please send me a couple of boxes so you don't get overweighted. I don't want to see your cooler and new oasis ruined by too large a burden.

I know you have my address.

Nice job, Brenda. Although, I have to agree with BP.
You shouldn't get overloaded with cigars this early in your hobby.
If you'd like, I can "store" some here at my house.

brenda, you just ignore all those other guys, you know that only a Canadian could be trusted to take proper care of your excess cigars!

I don't mean to sound sexist or anything but MY GOD WOMAN!

This is a typical male question I know, but are these cigars like your surrogate for clothes or shoes?

Seriously though, you've got a very nice setup there. You should probably put some fans in there though to help circulate humidity around those boxes.

welcome to my world! Before long you will be frustrated with the cooler not holding anymore. My first looked like a jigsaw puzzle before i upgraded.
