Straight out of the cooler - plenty of cedar in the cooler already (boxes), and humidity is right where I like to smoke them.

I smoke directly from my cooler. I keep it at 65%-67% RH and they smoke just fine.

Re: Cooler owners?
Always move mine from the cooler (lower RH for the LT storage) to the - as another CS Brother coined - "Departure Lounge"/Desktop Humi where I like my RH to hover closer to 68-69 (except for CCs, I like my cigars to smoke at a little higher RH).

Re: Cooler owners?
Right out of the coolers and have never had a problem. The only drawback for me is digging out boxes to get to stuff on the bottom. It can be a chore sometimes but there are worse things I guess

Re: Cooler owners?
Straight out of the cooler, vino or desktop. If I wanna smoke it I am going to find it! But I will often get distracted and find something else while digging around.

Re: Cooler owners?
Why would you want to move it to a small cedar humi? Most people keep lots of cedar in their coolers so help with humidity maintainance. I smoke everything out the cooler, for over ten years. I also have a cedar humi just to protect more more valuable singles, aged, etc. The rest are just fine in the cooler, even aged for many years. The key is the humidifcation and keeping that consistant that will affect the flavor/smoke, etc.

I've been smoking out of a cooler, but it's down in the basement in my workshop. I've ordered a glass top humi from bargainhumidors.com from their sale this past weekend, and will keep that behind the wet bar in the family room so I have a nice selection close at hand.

Re: Cooler owners?
I have three coolers and a desktop. I keep the desktop at about 62% for immediate smoking. I keep the smallest cooler at 63-65% for singles and try to smoke from there, too. I keep the other coolers at 65-67% for storage ... but I smoke from them too because I can never plan ahead for my cravings.

In a perfect world, I'd be more disciplined about dry-boxing, my "aging" cooler, etc.; but that's mostly because I'm anal and not because you *need to* smoke out of a humi as opposed to cooler.

Re: Cooler owners?
My cooler is used for overflow when I don't have room in my 4 desktop humis. Once I get a little room in one of my humis, I put the singles in my humidor. My cooler mostly has boxes in it.

The only reason I have an "aging" cooler is for mental purposes - the humidity/setup isn't any different than my other cooler or humis, but I just call it the "aging" cooler so I look elsewhere when choosing a smoke.

I try to do that, too; half 1/3 to 1/2 of the boxes in there have already been cracked, though.
