Finally pulled the trigger on a wine cooler!

[Poriggity]

So, the wife was getting sick of all my cigar paraphernalia taking up our family room. She's tolerated it to this point, as being "part of the business" of being a cigar rep. She then stubbed her toe on my 48 qt cooler, and made mention of me getting a wine cooler to store all my smokes in to clean up the mess that is my cigar storage. I currently have a 400 ct havana foot locker, a 48 qt cooler, 2-100 ct humidors and a 50 ct reyes family cigars humidor, all stuffed to the brim. So I ordered an Edgestar thermo-electric 28 bottle wine cooler. The only "stipulation was that I have to get rid of the cooler, and put the wine-a-dor in my office next to my beer fridge. Done deal! The wine cooler shipped today, and I can't wait to get it here and setup!
I bought it from www.compactappliance.com for $200 shipped. I just went back and looked today, and it looks like they jacked the price up to $259.00... Looks like I got in just in time.

Looks great!

Time to see if all your smokes will fit in there.

Nice score. I feel your pain, my spouse was taking me to task quite often with all my "cigar stuff" strewn about the house.

On a similar topic...

Why is it when we get sucked into this vortex that we do not buy the right gear up front?

I have given thought to asking my Payroll Department if I can set up some sort of pre-tax withholding with disbursements to Pepin, Pete, NHC and a CI.

now THAT is an idea worth looking into. i'll allot 150 a paycheck if pete promises to keep me in smokes. just 1 a day, rotational basis, shipping twice a week.

now prepare to play tetris with your boxes!!

 

[Poriggity]

That's what I'm afraid of. I've got about 25 boxes of smokes right now with more on the way..

 

[WhiteLightning]

you're gonna need a 2nd wine fridge.

Great wine-a-dor!

If you have 25 boxes, then they won't fit. I have a smiliar 28 bottle unit. With beads, and oasis, etc, maybe 12 boxes and singles. To give comparision, a little smaller than a 70qt cooler.

Wife just said I could keep the Havana footlocker if need be. I've had guys tell me they've fit 30 boxes in theirs.

Congrats on the purchase man. You will LOVE the wineador.

Keep us in the porn as your project moves forward!

Pardon my ignorance ( yeah, it happens from time to time ) but I thought you wanted to stay away from Thermo-Electric Wineadors ??

No, you want to stay away from NON- Thermoelectric wineadors... Although, the compressor type can work, with some modifications, if you are handy with that kinda thing. Personally, I'd rather just pay a few bucks more for a thermoelectric unit and not have to fuss with it.

Poriggity is Correct.

I am sure RonC has some more expert insight, but basically a traditional fridge will dehumidify the inner environment and they are usually louder, vibrate more, etc...

Thanks! :thumbsup:

When I need more room in mine, I just take out the shelves and "play tetris". I would think 20 boxes would bee the max, with little room for air. I lovr mine, but it took some time to get dialed in. Read though the threads here, on the subject.

Mine works fine, but it did take some time to get dialed in.
