So about 6 months ago I got back into cigars after about 7 years away (grad-school and post grad-school debt). As such I had no way to store any cigars other than one of the latch top jars that I got at walmart. Well a few purchases later and I ended up in a Ziplock Box with a gasket which worked great till spring hit. Once the temps started climbing and I remembered how expensive it is to keep my apartment at 70 here in the southeast, I realized I had to get a cooler or risk losing all my cigars.
Fortunately I found a 16 bottle Avanti thermoelectric cooler on ebay for $32 and only paid $10 shipping. Once it arrived I wiped it down, got it aired out and put baking soda in it for a couple days to soak up the rest of the plastic smell. Once done, I seasoned a couple cigar boxes I had sitting on a shelf, grabbed my boveda packs and my sticks and threw them in. This is the result!
Normally it sits at 65%/65 degrees but I had the door open just prior to taking this picture to move a couple things. For now it's great and I have plenty of room to put more in once I get some more disposable income along with getting flat shelves, and some of those cedar trays.
