You could compromise - and put a cooler into the pine cabinet!

You need consistent humidity and temperature so that you do not destroy your cigars. The cooler is a good alternative for "mass" storage, since it has a very nice seal and is relatively cheap. You should store your cigars in cedar trays (I use old cigar boxes), but you do have to set up the humidification. I use humidification beads in an old nylon stocking.

To prevent any mold to the cigars, the air in the "coolidor" must circulate. I use an "Oust" fan (it's a fan that runs on a "D" sized battery and normally circulates "Oust" air freshener - I removed the air freshener parts and just use the fan). If you can find a small DC fan, or even convert a processor cooling fan, it works just as well.

Good luck!
