My order from Chasidor.com arived today and I didn't waste any time clearing out the vino and getting my sticks in the drawers. This is going to be so much nicer than all those boxes. That was a pain. Now I should actually be able to find something without trying to remember which box it's in. I may still have to figure out which drawer but theres only 4 of those.

Got one question though. I know the ideal way to set up the Chasidor is to put the drawers and shelves in the vino with a bowl of distilled water for about a week or so. Unfortunately I didn't have that option because I had no where to go with nearly 400 smokes. So what can I do to hasten the seasoning of the drawers? I have 1.5 lbs of Shilala beads in the vino. Should I take those out and put in a bowl of distilled water? Or can I leave the beads in with the distilled water? Or would that change the humidity level of the beads? I guess thats more than one question.

Hopefully somebody can give some help.

Heres some pics.

Looks awesome! Also seems it might be time for another one!!

As for your question I really don't know man, I tupper-dored all my stuff for about a week while I had probably a liter of distilled in the fridge. I'd think as long as you monitor the humidity it'll be cool. What I might do though is line the drawer under the cigars with wax paper or something to hopefully prevent them from sucking moisture from your sticks. Not sure if that would give off on unpleasant scent though?

You could always go to Walmart and buy a cooler. Place the chas drawers in the cooler with Distilled water for a week. Then a week later just happen to return the cooler that is new and never been used still. Just a theoretical answer!lol
Nice drawers too!
