Catastrophic cigar and humi loss...FML...

That's completely awful James, went from a soup sandwhich to a **** sandwhich. I really hope that things get better for you soon.

I'm not sure if the "Extreme" cooler makes a difference, so I won't guess. Somebody will be alone shortly to answer.

I'm very resilient and will bounce back, and bounce back stronger and a better man and person for it. These things in life happen. Its like the old cliche goes, "Its not how many times and how hard you get knocked down, its how you get back up, and when knocked down again, you keep getting back up stronger and faster."

Its not a life altering event its just a huge downer as I've really grown over the years as a casual cigar person to a very deep lover and its the same as if I collected coins or beanie babies lol.

Thanks for the warm thoughts.

Sorry about your loss, I'm sure you will recover as strong as ever...............

On the Coolerdor situation I have used clear and unscented kitty litter beads in the past and have been able to maintain a steady 70% RH with them, no problem. Just make sure you monitor the RH for the first several days when you are adding water/beads until they have stabilized. The more sticks/cedar boxes in the cooler will the hasten the process. After that they should be good for months maintence free with occasional opening. You can google search for more info, but here is a prior comment from the CA forum:

Do a google search online for "Litter Pearls" cat litter. You will want the Litter Pearls Crystal Clear type, and not the fresh step. This comes in an eight pound bag for under $12, or a four pound bag for under $10 or so, and is exactly the same thing that Heartfelt beads are made from, silica sand and water. The Litter Pearls tend to be a little larger in diameter, but work just as well. My RH holds between 62-65.

Beware of the Exquisicat litter crystals. You have to find the ones without the blue deoderizing crystals in them, which is getting harder and harder to do. If you order online, make sure they are the ones without the blue crystals in them.

Very kind of you. You don't mean this one do you? http://www.cigarsinternational.com/h...-dome-humidor/

That is far too much I couldn't ask that of anyone but thank you for the generous offer.

Yes that is it

It's sitting in a closet empty and unused. It has been for about 9 months.

Lol no I lost that too but the 40 Year Old Virgin "big box of p-ron" is safe thank heavens. I don't know what I would have done if I lost Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jameson on Beta Max tapes.
