Right now I have a tupperdor to hold my sticks. Its pretty much topped off with cigars. I want to get something that can hold 200 - 300 maybe, but don't want it to stand out like a sore thumb.
I have been waiting because since last year because I didn't have AC in my house and I used a wine cooler, now I have AC so I don't need to worry about temp issues.

What do you guys think?

Do you want the piece in the room or will it stay hidden? I have an old wood desktop but my main storage is two 48qt coolidors. It really depends on what you want/need.

Vinotemp or Winedor or what ever you call them. Humidor with the wine cooler, that is my next purchase.

I have 2 tupperdors that stack under a work table in my study/home office. Nice and out of the way. My nearly 500 sticks seem to love it there.

When I get an out-of-home office some day, I'll buy a nice wood desktop to "show off," but until then tupperware bins are great and CHEAP! Especially when your fellow BOTLs send you some empty boxes to help you out :cool:

Well a wine cooler isn't needed anymore because I have AC in my house now. I wouldn't mind a nice wooden one but I don't really want it to scream CIGAR SMOKER when people come by and notice it. I know it sounds foolish but for some reason I don't like all my business out in the open.
I can always get something to put under my bed, but you don't really have much height under the bed.

Bro chances are your air conditioning will not be running 24/7 so it is advisable that you use the vinotemp for storage specially if you already have one. If you want to get a nice wooden humidor you can look around at cheap humidors they usually have some decent looking boxes.

i agree with daniyal, if you already have the vinotemp why would you not use it, It will be better for your sticks and easier for you to maintain. Good Luck

Well, if ye don't want it to look like ye're too much into the hobby, get a cabinet with wine racks as well.

I simply unplug mine during the winter, and plug it back in during the summer. It holds humidity great either way.

if you have the wino-temp, use it. Otherwise, coolers/tupperdores are the way to go. I have 3 stacked up in my room. You could put them in a closet, or keep your camping stuff next to them to aid in the ruse.

Heres the thing. I had a wine cooler too throught the summer, but it could only hold what I have, which is about 60 stick.
My house won't go over 76f. I have my house setup to stay at a steady rang of 70 - 76 right now. You guys think that 76f is going to really make a difference?

76 is too hat bro, that will make you susceptiblle to beetles. I never let mine get above 70 if i can help it, but you should be safe up to about 72, i wouldn't venture any higher than that.

Five degrees here or there won't really make a difference to your cigars.. but MtMouse just posted a sweet deal for a vino temp if you're interested in upsizing. As always bro go with the solution that best suites your needs and pocket we here tend to get a little carried away when suggesting storage solutions (we want what's best for you).
