I think I need a coolidor (newbie)

Same here. I just set up a coolidor about a month ago. It works great. I can have them all in one place so I am not constantly watching humidity in my three desktop editions. Now I keep 25 cigars in two of my desktoppers. That way the humidity is easier to keep up in those and I hardly ever pop the lid on my coolidor.

Pop the lid about once every 4-6 weeks just to exchange the air. The cooler is much more air tight than a cabinet and some people feel ammonia and other gasses will tend to build up, especially from young cigars. I don't know if it's true, or if it is to what extent, but it can't hurt.

I think I will try and get the largest 5 day cooler I can find, which will help in the temp control also.

I think this one should hold me over for a lil while!!!! 320 QT
