  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Works great, but almost full lol

thats worth it for sure. I had to chase an oxygen thief around the store with my phone out saying they had it in stock and not letting them tell me they didn't to get a hold of mine. I would have gladly taken free shipping to home.

LoL ya they have free ship to home right now on the 150qt through walmart.com think that is what im going to do
I need to get a new cooler and I keep looking at smaller ones but then I just come right back to the fact that, just over three months ago I had 3 cigars in a Ziplock bag. Now, due to many factors, I have a lot more and I don't see too much of a slowdown right now.

One of my favorite mantras is to buy things you will grow into and not out of. I need to remind myself of that and just get the 150 QT

I'll bite. I'm not ashamed lol, one day I will hopefully be at his level. Always planned a walk in for the house I build in the next few years but for now I have this.

Yes, I'm using a yeti. It was given to me and I don't drink so I didn't have a real good excuse for using it for an actual cooler lol.



Terrible inside dimensions and is too small but has a hell of a seal. Just boxes inside no cedar trays or stuff.

Tupperdors are where I keep the majority of my singles and they hold RH perfect.





I've got a couple humidors but these are just my coolidor and tupperdors.

Well, I pulled the trigger and ordered the 150 QT Coleman Xtreme cooler a few minutes ago and will pick it up tonight. Already have the 7lb bag of KL and a 14 oz container of activated carbon, the Camco 44123 Fridge Airator from Amazon* will be here Saturday, and just have to pick up some wire shelving when I get the cooler. I'll stop in at a B&M for some empty boxes in the next day or two and my Coolidor will be ready to go!

* I decided against hooking up a computer fan because the time saved in getting the parts for the CPU fan and putting it together was worth the extra $4 for the Airator. Plus, it's battery powered and I can't guarantee that the coolider's final resting place will be near an outlet.

Totally excited - not bad for having a Ziplock bag with a moistened paper towel as my "humidor" just four months ago. :ccool:


Edit: In case anyone is interested, I picked up the activated carbon from Petco. It was $12.99
