Stolen Cigars

So I was hosting a little soiree of beer pong and flippy cup and my house last night. After many hours of fun and games I came up stairs to the bar to discover the whole top tray of my humidor had been cleaned out. Im sure you could all understand how angry I was. I proceeded to kick everyone out of my house in a rather rude manner. No fights broke out as I was restrained from a few scrapes. And was left to sulk the rest of the night over my losses.
All in all the losses may not be great in some eyes but I dont have much money to put into my cigar collection and over half my stock was taken. All my nub cigars were stolen. Some of my CCOM sampler (red, purple, corojo, and cameroon) Some Rockey patel cigars, la gloria cigars, cohiba, punch gran puro and punch rare corojo. Thats about all i can think off the top of my head Luckily my gurkha, god of fire, and cuban cigars were left alone....so whoever stole them has no clue about cigars. Maybe worst of all I broke my humidor when I slammed the top shut....so if someone could link me a good site on how to make one I think ill be in the market for one soon....

Buy a locking humi. It will not keep out a dedicated thief, but perhaps it will put off a "Thief of Opportunity".
As far as a new humidor; get a cooler. If you have questions let me know. I can fill you in on how to make a coolerdor. I have used one for two years and it is spectacular.

I too am quite interested in this collerador idea. My humidors are packed to the gills, and I think I'm having some humidity control issues due to my overstocking, so an inexpensive alternative would be great.
In regards to how many beads to use, you could just follow the guidelines that heartfelt gives you. Just determine the interior volume of your cooler (whichever size you might buy) by multiplying its three dimensions ( length x width x height) and that will give you the cubic inches or volume of the cooler and use the corresponding amount of beads....then just throw in some extra beads for the sake of stability.

What's worse is that not only did they ruin the cigar, but they were probably some stoner dumbasses and were going to do something stupid with it like use the wrapper to roll a blunt. I don't really care if people want to waste their time/money/brain cells getting high, that's their business, but at least they could have the common sense to use cheap *** like Dutch Masters or Phillies if they're going to do that.
Anyways, my sympathies to everyone who's had something cruddy like this happen to them.
