I was looking at Edgestar, only because they can be found for a decent price, thanks to a link I found here, but I have an offer from a BOTL here for a completely setup vino temp that already has drawers and beads for a price that probably can't be beat (gotta talk to him more about it monday)... My question is, will my current stock really fit in it.. I told the wife I'd get rid of everything else if I could have a vino, except for my Reyes Family Cigars Humidor that has the Reyes Family Logo etched into the glass. That one means a ton to me... This means I would get rid of my havana foot locker my 100 ct home made humi and my 48 qt cooler. Best guess is I currently have about 22 boxes worth of sticks @ 25 sticks per box. I guess I am wondering if that many sticks will fit into a 28 bottle vino? I am excited about the prospect of a vino!

Welcome to Vino Tetris!!! I would say you would be OK. I have two Vinos and am only using 2 drawers for singles. The rest of the space is used for boxes and you can really get a lot in there. Here is something that I ran across that took a little room, but really helps when you are really packing one.

I took one of the stock wire racks and stood it up in the back of Vino. This keeps boxes off of the back enough where the moisture will drip down without getting on one of your boxes. I ruined most of a box of RG lonsdales before doing this.

Enjoy the new storage!!

I am thinking I should be ok, but I am not 100% sure on that! I guess if I am not, I will just have to smoke more. Just curious as to how many sticks most of you guys have in your vinos..

I really don't know how many sticks or boxes I have in either one. I know the one that I keep stuff for long term is packed and Tetris is futile. The other one I keep finding a bit more room in. I am getting a bit short though and each drawer has a box in it.

That sounds like a crowd for a 28 bottle unit but best thing to do is ask the Drawer Master himself ChasDen. He can tell you for sure.:-)

So what're you thinking, $20 shipped for the footlocker? :-)

Can't fault a guy for trying:-)

:-) I don't know about all that :-)

It should all fit especially if you have trays.

I have 20+ boxes in mine without drawers :-)

I know I don't have drawers. Go figure.

I just counted and I have 18 boxes that I can see in the one I age in. I know there is another layer behind there... so that gives you some idea. In that one BTW there is only the stock metal rack on the bottom to keep stuff up. The rest is pure stackage!!!

Ok, so I decided, rather than buying a setup vino, I would buy the edgestar, and document setting it up, so I can post it up here, and on my blog. I just ordered it. Should be here shortly!

Yup, I am really looking forward to it!

I don't see how you can go wrong, Scott. There's BOTLs on the forum using both brands, so tips and help should be easy to come by. Congrats on the purchase.
