I need a 100 count (plus) Humidor ASAP

[Chef]

Once again thank you for the tips. I myself already have 6 (100 + ct) humidors, and yes they are all full... I have realized through the wisdom of my brothers here that It is best for storage to go with the coolerdor for right now, that is until... I have a walk-in humidor built in my next house

no truer words have been said. :thumbsup:

i think everyone who ever started with a 100 ct (myself included) will tell you the same thing: it was nice for the first few months, but then realized that what was really crucial was having more space for boxes...

On the flip-side, before diving into the box-buying frenzy, remember to sample a few sticks first. I know when I first started I picked up a few boxes that took me forever to get through because my tastes were constantly changing.

Thank you in deed kind sir for the tip on the beads Jdog! How' about I pour you a few shots of scotch ;-)

For the love of God... NO!!!!!!!

 

[Chef]

Oh come one Craig... You know it was funny for all of us, and Jdog seemed to have fum himself. I am gonna have to attend a HERF in Chicago-land just so I can bring a bottle of scotch for Jdog.

Single malt please... lol.

 

[Chef]

I will grab a good bottle of single malt, and a shotty bottle of 8758734897 malts, so after you get trashed after the first 8 shots of single malt it wont matter after that

That my friend is wisdom.. Trust me, you buy a 100 count and you fill it in a week. Buy a 100qt collidor and it will take you a while to fill it.. Well, unless you stick around here and it will get filled in no time.. lol

 

[Chef]

It's true Craig... I can't help myself... Gotta fill it to the sip line every time

[Chef]

I for real look forward to the challenge of trying to get my collidor filled... I wonder just how quick it can be done?

Not to go off topic... What has been everyone's luck been with the seal on larger 100 qt + coolers. I refuse to buy them online unless I own that model already. I'll do a paper test by folding an 8.5x11 piece of paper in half and sticking half of it into the unit and closing the lid. If I can easily pull it out easily, I will not buy the cooler. If I struggle a little, I will buy the cooler. Basically, I’m trying to test the seal. Am I wasting my time or is it worth doing? Just curious what folks opinions are that own a few coolers.

180 qt igloo. No issues.

I found the faster I tried to fill a humidor the more junk cigars I ended up with, you can take your time and end up with quality over quantity.


And oh yeah... sip line doesn't apply when they do it as a shooter:dunno:

 

[Jfire]

Think these were also one of the go coolers iirc....

Bought a 120qt Coleman, it had a better seal than any of the smaller, or larger ones I came across.

 

[Chef]

Dang Jdog... I could of used that lil tidbit before I just bought my cooler... I just did the Jdog seal test and unfortunately my paper slid out easily... Heading back to Wal-Mart, cursing a bit, but giving thanks to Jdog for his wisdom!

I 100 percent agree with you Craig... I have been very collecting cigars for over 20 years, and after a brief shuffle of the sticks in each of my humidors,, I must say.. I have collected no junk cigars, other than ones people gave me as a gesture over the years... "There will be no Junk in my Trunk!"

This is true about the sip line... But it all starts with the sip line... Then gradually digresses into the shooter...

Just to reiterate... make the Coolidor. I have 3 humi's that are 100-150 count and i recently changed over to the Coolidor. Keeping up with all the box tetris and RH in 3 separate pieces was a pain. Wish I would have made the move sooner. Unfortunately, I now have 2 empty desktop humidors just sitting around. Use beads, they will save you frustration in the long run. I chose to set mine up vertical by using some wood to level the bottom and made shelves out of empty boxes. Love it and ready for a slightly larger cooler now. I think there may be a pic of it set up vertical in my album. It is all personal choice vertical or horizontal either way works

 

[Chef]

I just got back from China-Mart with my new cooler, passed Jdog's seal test too btw I think I am gonna go vertical with it. Going to look at your album now. Thanks again for everyone's help.

FWIW, When I picked up my cooler, I tested every one on the shelf at target, and went home with the one that had the best seal; some could hardly even hold the dollar I was using to test with...

 

[Chef]

That's the exact cooler I got
