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.

It'll be quite a task to get that bad boy filled out with all the sticks in my coolerdor Yeah, it took me about 45 minutes to inventory about a dozen different types of cigars with full descriptions and pics. Worth it in the end though, especially for keeping track of age and what you like/dislike. |

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

There were these two fellars standin' on a bridge, a-goin' to the bathroom. One fellar said, "The water's cold" and the other fellar said, "The water's deep". I believe one fella come from Arkansas. Get it?
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.
