Just wanted to say how nice it's been, everyone has been great, and the ideas I've gotten here for new cigars to try is really cool, so thanks and I'm going to build a coolidor after reading a hundred threads on it, it just makes more sense to store all my favs, but not being a traditionalist, I can't do anything normal,so, I asking the brotherhood for help, I'm going find a vintage metal icechest and gut it out, sanitize it and line it with cedar from old cigar boxes, that's where the brothers come in, tell me how much $ you need for your old cigar boxes and shipping costs and I will send you the $, as soon as I get the cooler, I will know how many boxes I will need. I will post the process as it happens, I think we will all enjoy what I have in mind. How's that sound to you guys, any thoughts will be apriciated, thanks in advance. Todd

There was a thread on here somewhere of a source for cedar planks, those would be better used to line the inside and you could cut them to size. I would look at the ammo can threads on here for ideas. Hope that helps brother and I look forward to your build.

Sounds like this should probably be broken into 2 posts. Welcome from Illinois either way. I'd check with your local b&m's for the boxes. Most of them give them away or sell them for a free dollars. It would probably be cheaper than shipping costs unless you are looking for specific boxes. Good luck!

Update to my original post, I have decided to go an even different route now, a sealable tool chest lined with spanish cedar, cedar should be here this week, riobi tool chest from home depot on sale $32. I will update as I get going on it.

It's all about the seal! (y) And in my experience, don't use too much cedar or you'll burn through Bovedas a lot faster...;)

I have a pound of beads on the way, your thoughts on beads, I have found them to be very reliable as long as you pay attention.
