Hi Rob, I built the trays. :-)

Showing empty vinos? You guys are brave.

Thank you. Dont envy me though, I don't even smoke anything from that Vino, lol. Its my long term aging one, "experimental" aging techniques I guess you can say. Its a project I intend to keep tabs on for many years to come.

Ahh but the best part is coming back in a few months and looking at the "before and after" pics, haha.

Shucks, :-)

Both my humidors are filled up so much I can't find room for my recent trade.

Looks like it's time to set up a coolerdor :-)

Finally! I can post in this thread with my final product, lol.

Chasidor drawers came in a couple weeks back, but I haven't had time to reorganize the cigars until last night. Did that and now here is my story...

When I first started smoking, I only bought a couple cigars at a time and kept them like this (~2005):

Image

Then I expanded my knowledge a little bit and bought a little 50 count desktop and a digital hygro. Now I could keep a few more cigars than I was going to smoke in a week and this is how I stored cigars for a solid four and a half years (starting mid 2005):

Image

Then I joined CA in April of 2010. Within a couple months I was out of singles room, keeping a couple boxes in tupperware, and still wanted to buy more. I decided to get a vinodor and some beads and at the same time, I ordered some Chasidor drawers to put in it. While I waited on the drawers and shelves, I filled it up as best I could:

Image

During that wait...I ran out of room again. Just needing a little bit more storage for a few boxes, I bought a 75quart cooler and another pound of beads. Within a couple months (around the end of 2010), the cooler was full as well:

Image

So I shuffled cigars around, consolidated boxes with each other, and tried to juggle stuff as best I could. Finally, my dream day came, and my Chasidor drawers and shelves came in. I knew that would be the solution to all my problems! So I sorted through everything, dumped the half boxes and singles into the drawers, and kept a few choice singles in my desktop, and the others in their mostly full boxes. Here is the final Vinodor results all nice and organized!

Image

Unfortunately, my 50 count is still about half full, my cooler is 100% full, and the vino itself, while having a bit of room, is mostly full too. The only upside is that everything is MUCH easier to get to now with the sorted drawers and whatnot. Before there were half a dozen boxes of singles/half boxes mixed together so I had to dig through everything to get to it.

So for now, I don't have any box purchases in mind, and any singles I do buy, I'll stuff in the nooks and crannies in the vino. If I only had purchased more drawers, but I had no idea how many cigars I would have in just under a year, haha.

Looking good Brian...but I see more room!! :-) :-)
[Reply]

No, but seriously, there isn't much at all. There's a little in the vino, but the 50count was taken as a demonstration of what it used to look like. That little thing is mostly full now :-)
[Reply]

nice brian
glad you are happy with the results
[Reply]

Nothing "humble" about that humidor at all. I've got somewhere around 2k cigars in mine at home, and you have more Habanos that I do!
[Reply]

Nice work people!
[Reply]

Holy Crap!! That's all I have at this time< LOL
[Reply]

nice Brian, looks good bud!
[Reply]

Looks good Brian! Especially with those drawers and shevles.
[Reply]

Great choice on the shelves, drawers. These look great, Brian. I see a cabinet in your future :-)
[Reply]

Nice setup Brian. Is that Déjà vu I'm feeling?
[Reply]

very nice Brutus, got to love Chasden drawers, they are really hi quality
[Reply]

Well it's finally seasoned and all my sticks are now resting inside. Don't laugh I have a ways to go to catch up to most of you guys but i'll get there :-)

The top 3 shelves and the shelf I turned into a drawer are where the smokes are. The boxes on the 4th shelf are empty and in there to help R/H. The bottom half of the cab is empty other than fans and the Hydra LG and beads.

I love it though and it's all mine.
