Thread: Best Seal

  1. #1

    Default Best Seal

    Since it's pretty hard to check the seals of coolers at a store, can anyone recommend a good brand or model. I'm probably going to aim for one of the bigger sizes since I fill up on cigars a lot faster than I would have thought. I've got 2 boxes of Excalibur Prensado's that are just sitting in my closet until I get a decent coolerdor set up. I was going to buy a cabinet style, but decided to spend the money difference on some extra gars. Maybe that'll get me my first box of ISOM's.

    I have a smaller cooler and used rubber weather strip around the top to make an air tight seal. It has a locking handle so it really latches down tight.

    I had a 54 Qt Igloo Marine cooler..... never had a problem with the seal..... don't go crazy looking for one of these coolers that keep the beer cold for 7 days... if you use a "marine" cooler they seem to be squarer and have slots for shelves if you desire....

    If you run into any seal problems you can easily fix it with either weatherstripping or Sail Maker's Wax. You rub italong the edge of the cooler to form a better seal.... I have never tried it, but that was the information I was given. This particular wax has no odor.
    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    Hey CC, I think I remember you saying you blew a seal in a Jaguar once.

    Is that a picture of him? Does he ever call?

    Only the baby Harp seals, the older ones are too tough.

    Actually they do have a poultry taste. A little greasier, tho. Kind of a cross between a spotted owl and a bald eagle.

    Oddly enough, the Snail Darter has the same flavor too.
