    Where are you thinking of ordering trays. I like the idea of having both trays and boxes.

    Depending on where you are specifically, check out Rockler and/or Woodcraft. They're specialty woodworking stores and carry spanish cedar of varying sizes and thicknesses. You can order online too. I made a few trays for my cooler. It was pretty cheap since I already had all the other tools and supplies. Then you can tailor them for the space.

    Hey Victor, Cigar Solutions has only one type of tray for 9.99, Cuban Crafters have some also but they don't list what size they are. Would probably have to call and ask them. That or do like Cigarbear said and make our own.

    My! What a nice ash you have!

    No matter where you go, there you are!

    I tried a little different approach to my coolidor. I lined the bottom and sides with Spanish cedar and then bought some stainless steel basket containers at the dollar store. The kind that is used for holding shampoo bottles in the shower. They have about a half inch grid to them and were 7” long x 4” wide x 3” deep. I found a couple other similar basket containers that were about the size of cigar boxes and use them also. Once I fill the containers with my precious sticks. I then use a thin piece of Spanish cedar to cover it so I can stack another container on top. I have 2-3 layers in one coolidor. I have been doing this for about a year now and no problem yet.

    Thank you both!
    I really enjoy the massive storage of my coolidor. Unfortunately, the devil site requires the addition of another.....
    Trays may help me avoid that.

    When I started seriously collecting I bought the biggest cooler I could find, 150 qt, thinking I'd never need another cooler. A year later and I'm very likely buying another

    Default Very nice score today!!!!

    Stopped by a small tobacco store today. Almost missed it but the sign in the window that said "Walk in Humidor" got my attention. I got a couple of sticks at retail for feeling quilty at what I was able to score. I asked him if he had any boxes, and he told me to take as many as I want, no charge...what Hell yeah, I got about half of what he had All wood boxes but I don't think I'm gonna go through the hassle of stripping paper off them A couple had some nice dividers and some others had some solid sticks of sp. cedar.

    Nice score!
    I enjoy the added cedar blocks for their scent and ability to hold humidity.
