Food for thought; since you have the trays with tops and not the slotted bottoms, what's the difference between the box they came in and the trays? If the box they came in is cardboard, I would think the trays with cedar would be better. If the box is a "cheap" or lower end box it's probably made with Spanish cedar veneer and contains only a small thin layer of cedar. In that case I would believe the trays would be better. If it's a nice high end box made of solid cedar it's probably a push, but you may get more room in the vino by stacking cigars in a double high tray. Maybe not in a single. Either way, the top of the tray is not air tight and neither is a cigar box. Both allow air exchange and exchange of humidity.

But hey I'm biased

This is exactly why I bought the Chas trays. It has also freed up a lot of space; before I used the trays my vino was maxed out by box girth, espesially the odd shaped ones like Camacho boxes. The trays also make it easy to get to my sticks without rearranging the tetris stack everytime I want a smoke(which is daily)...now I just slide out a tray and pick a stick. I also like being able to take a quick inventory without having to open boxes to see how many sticks are left inside; the glass top allows me to just slide out a tray and take a quick count without the rh disturbance of opening a box. Also, the trays have brought aesthetic organization to what was chaos.
So...that's what works for me

Thanks Chas, you ROCK
