CigarDarr111 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Hello gents, as of recently I have jumped into the FOH scene and have been buying boxes. I'm wondering what types of ideas and concepts many of you have come up with and use to age and store boxes ? Thanks for the feedback in advance gentlemen!!
free85 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Does "without using a humidor" discount options like a coolerdor or a converted freezer?
CigarDarr111 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Without using a humidor meaning taking the cigars out of the box and storing them in a traditional wood humidor
HarveyBoulevard Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Do search for 'Coolidor' and you will get a ton of threads that go over the whats and hows along with the pros and cons. I love my coolidor for larger capacity storage and my humidor for what is going to be burned sooner rather than later. 1
cdnstogie Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Yup - Coolidor is definitely one of the best options for 'cheap' storage. Another option is finding wine fridge and using that - if you do not need to plug it in, you can get one that doesn't work on kijiji or the like for next to nothing.

free85 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Count me as another vote for a coolerdor. They certainly have pros and cons but if you're looking for easy and extremely inexpensive storage that doesn't involve building something it's hard to imagine anything else as a fit. Especially if you live in a mild climate or can keep the cooler somewhere where the ambient temperature isn't a worry (basement, somewhere air conditioned, etc).
DoubleDD Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I'm on my second coolerdor setup. I'm in the process of setting it up as we speak.
al321 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Buy a cooler twice the size as you think you need...they fill up quickly! 1
potpest Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I use plastic storage boxes: seal the lids with draught excluder, add beads and a hygrometer. Cheap, easy and stable. If you can get coolers cheaply they are excellent aswell as everyone else said 1
kindanutz Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Food saver vacuum sealer with a large boveda pack... Crack it every once in awhile to exchange air and to help facilitate curing and aging... great for long term storage..
Maplepie Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Yupp. I'd like some help, too :lol: Sent from the Enigma on BlackBerry Q10. 1
aushy Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 A coolidor is the way to go if you aren't concerned with aesthetics. Just get yourself a good sealing humidor, some heartfelt beads, and a digital hygrometer and you're good to go.
DropTopDee Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 coolidor is the cheapest for sure. i use a wineador because im scared of beetles.
ha1fway Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Iris weathertight 21.8 gallon bins, the black/green/whatever not the clear ones. Airtight sturdy and affordable.
JohnS Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Online humidor. 3 boxes, 14°celsuis and 65RH for a minimum six months. It's a great service for FoH members.
Vortigan Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Buy a cooler twice the size as you think you need...they fill up quickly! Yes! Yes they do!
Homebrew Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I agree with the above, Coolidor, is the way to go. A poorly focused picture, but you get the idea. Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew) 2
JohnnyO Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Igloo, make sure the lid goes whoomp! before you buy it. John
leftimatic Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Online humidor. Its the only way too feel safe about all that money... er cigars.
