BOTLs and SOTLs,
If you are like me … you are: Cheap, lazy, and an obsessive compulsive about “a place for everything and everything in its place.” It all needs to fit just right, conveniently located for easy retrieval. (This comes from years of living out of a rucksack.)
Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) : I have found the perfect solution (for me) for cigar storage! I didn’t want a big coolidor…hell, where would an OC like me put it? Coolidors, unless you have the space, can be an eyesore and something you constantly have to worry about kids tripping over. I needed something that was not too big, could be moved with relative ease, could stored out of the way, and be stored in an area of my house that did not have huge temperature fluctuations. (like my hall closet) I have a nice humidor and it sits on my desk…but what about all my other cigars? I can’t display them all! And I don’t just want to put them in Tupperware or Ziplock bags. I have some wants:
1. I want to store my cigars in their original cigar boxes.
2. I want to store the cigar boxes in an environment much like a coolidor.
3. I want the environment to be odor free and airtight.
4. I want the convenience of storing my cigar boxes in a see through, shoe box sized container that I can easily move.
My solution:
The 8 quart, Lock & Lock made by Heritage Mint, Ltd. and sold at Target – MSRP $8.99. It can hold two boxes of cigars and have some space left over to put your humibeads. The unique locking system also makes it easier to seal and unseal without having to jostle the cigars around on the inside. (You know how sometimes you have to grab a Tupperware container in both hands to pull off the lid?...)
They are:
-100% airtight & waterproof
-100% odor proof
-Stain resistant
-Manufacturer’s lifetime warranty
-Microwave, Freezer & Dishwasher safe (I store most of my foods in the other sizes…especially for flour, rice, cereal, and leftovers…they are great!)
Internal Dimensions (inches): 10 ½ L x 8 ¼ W x 4 ¼ H
Hope this works for you all!
