Ya...this is I believe a 40 quart that I had....I do have some trays I can use....I should look at something bigger for sure.

I use trays I bought from that same site that sells the conservagel beads. One or two of those trays for singles and then cigar box tetris. I use a lot of the ccom bags too. I'll try and snap a pic sometime, but my phone takes crappy indoor pictures.

Man.. Seems like the Coolador idea is the way to go for mass storage ( which is sadly unavoidable for me at this point). Are there any drawbacks to this method?

hahaha..too true

So, I assume you don't need to season the Coolador? Or maybe if you have cedar trays?

You do need to. Even if you are just using it for storage of boxes, it takes time for those boxes to take in humidity.

Cool guys! Totally going for it!

1st off, get all those loose cigars in boxes/tupperware or something protective. 2nd - SHOWOFF

I am setting up a coolidor now. Screw all this bull with humidors that have to be cedar lined and looking good. Space is what I need not a freeking show piece for an art museum!

The battle cry of many of us who made the switch. LOL

DD, I set mine up like yours but with 2 exceptions. 1) I don't have any loose cigars. I have them in a box or in a ziplock back. 2) I don't have a bag of Padron Anny's like you....I'm certainly jealous of that ziplock bag!

I have also begun Operation: Coolidor. Cheap storage, here I come!

Quick question: When I set up the coolidor, do I add the beads and hygrometer, wait until it is at the desired levels, and then add the boxes of cigars? Or do I just put everything in all at once? I will only be keeping full boxes of cigars in there. Thanks guys.

Just throw everything in....the plastic doesn't season...

how do you buy beads in such large amounts? is that the best humidification device for a cooler?

You can buy them by the pound here: http://www.HeartfeltIndustries.com/products.asp?cat=65%+Rh+Humidity+Beads For me, I think they are the best for my humidors and my coolers.

JCizzle

Good site, bought a pound of beads from them. I got them on sale, and they ship overseas for our military BOTLs.

One main drawback....you will definitely be trying to fill that sucker up..

JCizzle

Filling it up won't be a problem.
