My New Coolidor

[Irish79]

Did that Acid box have a smell to it? I was given one but I don't use it to store cigars in due to the strong odor.

Didn't even think about the smell...I'll check it out. Thanks!
Edit: Nope, no smell

How do those Marine stogies smoke, or did you just order the bands?

Nice coolidor, BTW. I had a feeling you'd go that route.

Looks great!
I have my boxes closed. I seasoned the inside as well as the outside before placing my cigars in them.
I also measured the inside of my cooler, and used the bead calculator at Heartfelt Industries to determine my bead needs. Stays a constant 65%rh with the 65%rh beads.

Such a great system!

I know the other guys have tons more experience, but I wanted to share how I did mine, using plenty of advice from the Seniors.
Another peice of excellent advice from these guys; test your hygrometer....new or not.
I used the Boveda's One-Step Calibration Kit.

Good looking setup there, I will be starting my own coolidor project pretty soon, unless my computer breaks or I forget the url for the devil site.

Good choice! Coolidor is definitely the way to go. I keep my lids closed...I think the B&Ms have their lids open for display purposes.

I also keep thin pieces of cedar sheets in the coolidor that I have collected from boxes and cigars. I don't know if it does anything really, but I just love the smell of it. Kinda gives the illusion of opening up an actual cedar lined humidor to me.

As for the hygrometer and such...I would eventually get some beads. I used to have a hygrometer and tinkered with it for a while, but it honestly got too annoying. I trust the beads and have had no problems so far with split wrappers or bad burning sticks.

Great idea on the trays btw. I just have my boxes stacked. I should look into that....
