My super cheap coolerdor build

[CdnStogie]

Looks good man.

I haven't fell into the trap just yet of all the purchases of the game and having to make a second for overflow (or third) - Though I just bought a house and the wife would have my throat if I started spending on a habit she is not fond of to begin with

Though the time will come. I am still working with my 50 humidor w/ a small tuppador for the overflow.

My wife helped me pick mine out. A cooler is my primary storage method; when used with RH beads it's almost maintenance free.

So... the cooler was cheap to build but my wife wasn't impressed with the total cost to build it and stock it. I just told her that the total bill also included enough cigars to last me for a while and she calmed down. I made sure to let her know there will be more purchases but they will be spread out. Half the fun is searching for great deals to try new stuff.

Explain the advantages of your new hobby:

1.) She now has gift ideas for friends and family - no more socks for you on Father's Day.
2.) Now she can surprise you with unexpected gifts that express her undying devotion to you, etc etc etc rhubarb, rhubarb.
3.) You belong to a cigar community that will set you up with all kinds of bargains.
4.) You will trade, swap and generally get bombed and the stock will rise.
5.) Since Eve scarfed the forbidden fruit back when, it's time for you to indulge in some forbidden Cuban leaf. Think of all the intrigue in procuring the forbidden fruit. Great for the libido.
6.) Will enhance your career prospects to offer the boss the odd really decent stick. (Cheaper than booze, and definitely better for people who fly expensive planes.)
7.) And as you mentioned - the purchases will be spread out, it will take at least a week to fill...
