No, a cigar shelf on the inside is not a necessity.

I apologize on behalf of this entire forum for badwhale's horrible response to you. He needs to learn to simply answer questions and not try to offer different ideas or solutions. He also needs to learn to provide in-depth step-by-step instructions instead of quick short directions. After all, you took the time to word your questions so well - using perfect spelling and grammar, right? He should be ashamed.
