Gent,
You mention afixing the bins to a "hardwood"... If this is a typical hardwood it may actually do more harm that good, as it will draw in moisture and make it difficult to keep the interior's moisture levels static. Just a thought. I would use cedar or just clean plastic throughout.

dpnewell, how many bins/trays are you using per cooler (9 or 12)? Also, where did you get the bins/trays from?

The two coolers pictured use 12 trays each. Trays can be found in Walmart homes good section. Been a while, but they where 2 for a buck. May be able to find some at dollar stores.

Way too over the top for me.



My method:



1) Buy Rubbermaid brand cooler (hard refrigerator plastic lined, little to no odor from the start)

2) Wash it out & dry it.

3) Dump cigars boxes in. Place loose cigars in older boxes.

4) Add one 4oz jar of humi-care gel

5) close lid and go open a beer.

You will be drinking and packing while the other guy will still be building his coolerdor.

David, been meaning to ask two questions since you first posted this...

did you like any of the Jukes (are they still in biz?)
and does it matter which side of the cigar box sections faces the inside?

Frank,

1) Jukes where from Avalon Cigar, a Blues theme company in Mississippi. I really don't think they're around anymore. The Jukes where a medium cigar aged using green pecan wood along with cedar. The first few I smoked really had a pecan note to them. The last few where just heavy, dry wood, which I didn't like one bit.

2) If the lids are solid spanish cedar, it shouldn't matter which side faces which way.
