Ok, so I was snapping a few pics for kuzi of my bag system for my cooler and decided to go ahead and make a coolidor thread out of it just for fun...
So the basics are 120qt cooler, housed in a custom box that my son made me for father's day. 3 lb of 65% beads (the beads are in a total of 5 bags, spread throughout the cooler. You can only see 2 of the bags in the pics cause the rest of em are up under and in between boxes). 2 Oust fans. Pretty basic set up.
Here's the box:
Here's a basic overview of what it looks like with just the cigars that I have actual boxes of (I don't keep loose cigars in boxes for space issues. Only cigars that I buy by the box get to stay in boxes):
Here are the bags I keep talking about...:
Here's a top view with just the 3 small ccom bags added (the Camacho TMs, Ramon Buesos, Ruinations):
Here is how I place the big bags, so that I can flip through them like a rol-o-dex:
And finally the finished product of what it looks like just before I shut the lid:
I find this to be the most efficient and easiest way to store my cigars. Especially since this is a dual purpose cooler (I age and smoke out of this cooler). I have probably 25-30 boxes of cigars in it, as well as a couple hundred singles, and as you can see, there is still PLENTY of room for air circulation, as well as more space for when new things come in. All bags are open, of course. Everything is easy for me to see this way, and I know where to find everything in boxes and can get to them quickly (I have the boxes stacked so that I can pull entire sections out at a time to get to the bottom without disturbing the other sections in the cooler).
Everybody has their own method, and this is mine. You are welcome to steal any ideas you want
...and NO, I will not pull out all the boxes and take pics... I don't want you guys getting too excited at work. LMAO...

I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
And yeah, everything in this cooler is either really nice stuff or stuff that I smoke a lot of. I have a couple hundred more random singles and daily smokes that I keep in Teege's cooler at his house cause we smoke together a lot at his place. I also have a few traditional humis that I keep stocked with Undercrowns and JdN DCs, and a small tower that has random premiums in it... but this cooler houses the boxes and the nicer stuff only, for the most part.
I don't know where all the money would come from to have all those cigars.......
That's a really nice setup.
