I've got a couple cigar boxes aging three dozen home rolled which I'll probably just ditch cause they're such worthless stinkers. I've been mailing packages right and left to family and BOTLs. Mailed two just last week. Even so, regardless how I try, good smokable sticks which I have every intention of firing ASAP seem to multiply in my humidor faster than I can either burn them or mail them away. In the time it takes me to smoke two, I buy five, someone sends me five, I give away six, I'm up two. Thus two by two my ark fills. I've now got sixty three in a hundred count humi which I originally believed would be preposterously more than ample. From what I read here, this is just the way it goes.

As a consequence, I have resolved today to come up with a way organize my humidor to make this work.

Here's my theory: Down in the bottom of the box, I have stuff that I am aging to get smokable on the left bottom, like the Flatbed Panaceas I got today, ready to smoke premium sticks on top of them, a few sticks I can't stand the thought of smoking the last I have of in the center, and daily gars on the right. More joy from my daily gars than anything else.

I'm making myself a rule that I have to select today's smoke out of the top tray, instead of standing there twenty minutes like a loon fingering my way through everything in the box completely unable to make up my mind. So premium on the left and dailies on the right, and don't lift the tray, idjut:

How bout you? How do you humidorganize your stuff?

    Organize?
    I lay them all the same way. Yep, that pretty much covers it. LOL!

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    I organize by where I can fit all the damn boxes like tetris lol picking a stick is easy, if I don't feel like smoking a ultra premium and I don't know if I have the time I grab usually a aj stick. If I have time but don't want a expensive stick I'll grab a la aurora #2 if I have time and feel like a treat well I go open the wineador and figure out what I'm drinking then grab a stick

    In my JdN Humidor I have one of each of all the different sizes and types on the try, so I can look without man-handling all the cigars. I keep the rest of the JdN cigars under it. I replace the cigars in the tray when I take them out to smoke with cigars from the bottom. In my big humidor, I keep all the cigars I have 1 of in the trays. All the cigars under the trays, usually more then 5 of the same kind, stay under the trays, but I keep one of each on my tray, on top so I know what I have on the bottom. Kind of hard to explain all this without pics, pics will come soon when I get some time. My GF's Humidor is complete chaos of infused cigars and regular cigars tossed everywhere. She just opens up the lid, grabs whichever and smokes it.

    Just recently got a wine a dor. I am trying to keep the sticks separated. I have all my AJ stuff in one tray (cigar box) fuente in another, and so on. It makes it a little easier to choose. On the other hand, I have a 50 count humi that I keep all my infused stuff in and that thing is a mess...there is no order.

    typically by blender/brand. singles go in one humi. my aged non ISOMs goes into the wineador. the "oh great, what do I do w/ this?" stash goes into tupperwares with cedar lining.

    and bury my hard to find sticks so I don't blow through them.
