Thanks to the great info. from this thread, I "built" a 70qt. Extreme. Since I'm not very adventerous when it comes to new sticks, the 70 will do. 1/2lb of HF 65% beads and 7-8 boxes seem to do the trick so far. My local Malwart was kind enough to donate the cooler to me for nothing. I've got a hygrometer inbound from HF also. I'll relagate the desktop I have for aging the limited number of premies I have. Smoke em if ya got em! . Sweet deal! How did you manage that? 1lb bag of heartfelt 65 beads on the way for me. Got them for 15% off since they were not open when I ordered. Think I'll make a trip to my local Woodcraft store here in the next few days and pick up some spanish cedar to line my foot locker. |

The nice cashier girl cliky clacked the number in to her keyboard and asked me if the $42.95 price was correct. I told her "That's what's on the tag." as I held it up to show her nothing was inside. I had a few other things as well, and the total sounded reasonable when I paid. A few hours later at home I was looking at the receipt and noticed the cooler was not listed. I called the store and offered to come pay for it, but they said they had no way to know if I had paid or not, so it was FOC. They did the same thing for me last fall at another store with a pair of work boots- which were substatially more than the cooler.

Just finished up getting a bunch of recent purchases inventoried in my "My Humidor" app on my phone and packed away in my foot lockerador. Pretty neat little app, stores pics and whatever detail you want about your cigars.

I got the app on your recommendation. It'll be quite a task to get that bad boy filled out with all the sticks in my coolerdor

Worth it in the end though, especially for keeping track of age and what you like/dislike. |

Question - I got a pound of the 65 heartfelt beads and the foot lockerador is now sitting at 70% humidity with only using those beads as the humidity source. Is it possible that I overcharged them, or was my order probably screwed up?

Is it possible that I overcharged them, or was my order probably screwed up? FWIW- I've got a 1/2lb of 65% HF beads in my coolerdor. I removed about 1/4 of them and charged the rest, then mixed them all together before sticking in the bag- Calibrated my hygrometer with the salt test and adjusted accordingly. The RH has been holding at 69% for over a week now with several times being opened. . |

I let the beads sit out for a couple of hours and put them back in. Been holding at 63-64 since I last posted. I have another half pound on the way (along with a 1/2lb of 60 for the "ready to smoke" humidor), which I hope will help things out some more..

I bought Heartfelt beads but have so far only used the kitty litter since it's been working so well... |

This is a set up I've been using for my bulk storage for the past 15 years or so (I have a small Ellie Bleu humidor on my desk).... I started out with an Igloo "Cube" and I lined the top, front and bottom with Spanish cedar (a local company builds commercial humidors and they sold me a few small sheets) and built a series of trays that stock allowing me to have 4 layers full of goodness. Overall it has worked better than I ever could have imagined.
