Legends of the Playground
Undercover
I went to the coolerdor direction a while back for budget reasons. The wife was ok with my cigar budget but not with a large cabinet.
With that being said, I need to figure out a way to keep it properly prepped. It's pretty dry here (Fairbanks, AK) and obviously cold. There are a few other issues. The cooler is not and (according to the Mrs. Legends) will not be stored anywhere visible in the house. The relegates it to a closet. That means there is no suitable plug for a Cigar Oasis to be used. Passive systems are not holding their own. I have two large Diamond Crown humidifiers that are drying out every couple of days. The final issue is that the cooler is almost full. Starting another is not a solution. As the weather warms up (in late April or early May ) I'll be able to make a dent in what I have acquired this holiday season. So my space available for a humidifier is limited.
Do I tell her to "suck it up" and let me find a place in the house to keep it? Are Climmax beads worth the hassle? Should I just keep messing with the passive systems? I've been looking at the Cigar Reservoir from Bargain but I'm afraid it will dry out too fast as well. Or am I going to have this problem no matter whether the system is a passive or active one?
One last thing to chew on... During the summer months (up to about the middle of September) keeping things the right % is not a problem. Last summer, I was able to use just the Diamond Crowns and it worked fine. Something about the cold weather outside is making it difficult to keep the % at the preferred level.
