Question on storing cigars in cooler temperatures

[JCinPA]

That I understand. I have a Tumi computer briefcase that 10 years ago was about $400. Being a certified, card-carrying cheap bastard, I would never buy it, but found a lightly (almost no) used version on eBay for $99 and snapped it up. There’s a lot of impulse buying out there that people end up undoing. You got a helluva deal.

I just don’t care that much. I have an old HC humidor that I’m sure I got on sale for not too much That works great. The one in the photo above I got in the Philippines filled with cigars, it has sentimental value. I have a wineador. But I’ll stick to tupperdore for any future growth.

It’s not that I don’t like nice humidors, I just don’t have that particular bug. Thankfully. Or cars. Thankfully. Now guns? That’s my impulse buying downfall, but that’s another thread.

I don't care if a buddy pulls a cigar out of a humidified trash can. I suppose it depends on how much you care about impressing other people.

I think this is the key. I would much rather buy more expensive cigars and store them where I "know" they will smoke well than to spend money on a humidor and "hope" it does it's job.

What would you rather give a friend? An awesome cigar that came from a coolerdor or a dog rocket that came from a beautiful desktop humidor?

He replied again and said the desktop humidor makes HIM happy. I can respect that.

LOL there is zero chance of a cigar becoming a dog rocket due to poor conditions if kept in an Elie Bleu humidor, unless the caretaker did not maintain it. The beauty is secondary to the quality construction, you may have missed that crucial takeaway. Also, I paid $.10 on the dollar for mine, so it had zero effect on cigar spending. I LOVE my coolerdors! I have 6 coolerdors (Newair 1500 & 840's, and two Liebherr XS-200's) plus three end table humidors, one Aristocrat and two Vigilant's. I only use the Elie Bleu humidors for shorter term storage when I transfer the sticks from the coolerdors at the office to the desktops at home to rest, acclimate to be ready to be smoked soon. This system has worked extremely well for my needs for many, many years.

Nah, I didn't miss anything. You like to brag and drop names, I get it.
