which is better?

To have a few coolers that you can manage to carry all by yourself, or one or two monster coolers that hold everything but take two to tote? Which is better? (Uh, tote means carry. And don't mention coolers with wheels. For the purposes of this opinion pol they are not to be considered.)

    If I recall correctly, You mentioned you have upwards of 3K cigars. I would definitely break those down into smaller units, otherwise you will always have to do major unpacking in order to get to cigars you may desire that are resting in the bottom.

    Do you find that you move your coolers often/ever? Do you have a good system of cigar storage inside the cooler that will be manageable if you choose to go with a really large cooler?

    3K cigars!? Did I say I had three thousand sticks? Maybe you're thinking of somebody else. (Even if I had that many it doesn't sound like something I'd admit to. LOL)

    I personally like the average 48qt...you can stack them and do what ever and sometimes running different humidities for some cigars...well it makes it easier.

    Coolers....a great thing about em is they come in all sizes but they aren't all the same. Some seal much better than others and some are "carry" types while others have wheels...I buy the one with wheels because it's much easier to move from Point A to Point B.....an oh...I admit to having around 5000 cigars but it started in 1963.

    Ha ha ha...yes, it is I and remember that this collection started before most of you were born. Some of these cigars have been aged for 10 years and most of that collection is made up of CC's.
  • CigaryCigary Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 623
    I've actually sent out around 1,000 just to get this collection somewhat under control as others have bombed the living shyte out of me and continue to do so because they want me to try their new line of cigars...hard to say no to ones that have never been smoked before and have been resting for years. I trade back and forth with others through the years and some get really carried away because while I was just trying to trim stock they felt they needed to up and ante and would double down and send me twice the amount I sent them....these cigar people are an ornery lot.

    If it were before I was born, it would contain legal cuban cigars. ; )

    It would look exactly like you'd see on Hoarders as it takes up my entire study....12X12 where I keep them in coolers, tupperadors and humidors and bookcases. My wife thinks I'm a hoarder....BFD!!! lol

    Yes, I have about 10 that are around 52 years old given to me by...a cuban friend of the family and no....I won't smoke them except for maybe the last 8 and leave 2 to somebody.

    I say the bigger the better. Easier to stabilize RH and keep it there. It's a pain to check and attempt to keep 2 or 3 smaller ones at a stable RH
