So due to the silly graciousness of the brothers here my setup has changed slightly and the top shelf has been solidly fortified, and my buddy from the local lounge JUST hooked me up with a single Fine and Rare (no more for the moment, but the lounge may be getting in a box so if so Dwayne I'll give you a PM brother). Already on my way to cutting the entire stash by 2/3rds by end of the holidays with the bombs I've got going out and the Xmas presents (minus some of the stuff in the top shelf since all of that is taking a nap for2-5 years, ie I wont touch it period lol) but here are the updated pics and entire setup:

Well, all I can say is that you're a better man than I am. There's no way in hell I could wait that long. Every time I'd open up the box, the damn thing would be calling to me. I'm sure it'll be well worth it if you can stick it out, though.
i am VERY jealouse of your humi man. superb collection. i now have a new goal in life
I'm assuming you are talking about mine? If so thank you, took a while to put together but the brothers here have been amazing and key in all of it! IF not, well the other brothers have some GORGEOUS and insane setups as well!!
You wouldn't think a cooler would have that much room in it.
I was thinking the same. A TON of cigars can fit in that thing. BigT, do you have something seperating the boxes stacked on top of each other to allow air circulation?

yeah. They all have pieces removed from them to allow good air flow. And if you notice the boxes on top are actually joined in sets of two that make slideable drawers. They rest perfectly on that lip that you see, and there's about an inch between them and the stuff below them. I also keep all of the bags open to allow air flow. I still have a couple modifications that I want to do that I haven't gotten to yet, but when its finished it will be awesome. Only prob is I wish it were bigger... that's a 120qt but when I build my next one I am going to use a 250qt marine cooler...
I have my cooler packed very efficiently (see pics in BigT's coolidor pics thread. page 3 in gen disc.) but I am looking at the breathing aspects of bundling being far beyone that of bag storage. Do you ever have issues with damage bundling? Also, do you only bundle sticks for aging or do you do everything? seems like every time you took a stick out to smoke it would make the bundle loose...?
Some great looking pictures here guys. Its great to see how creative everyone gets with storage and their cigars. I have to admit though, I have to stop looking at this thread..it just make me want to go hog wild. Ha!
