My cooler is filled with little humidors. Works great.

hope it arrives before my new order of sticks

In my opinion, I don't think beads or other humidification devices are necessary when storing cigars in such a small place. I have a 48qt as well, and I just rely on the ambient humidity of the cigars themselves. I can go a month or 2 with the humidity only dropping a percentage point or two. if it gets lower that 63% I just put a saturated paper towel in the cooler.

Well, it depends. Where I live it's about 55% humidity. If I open the cooler a few times a week, it's going to dry out fast.

Also it's not worth the risk of damaging several hundred dollars worth of cigars because you were too cheap to buy $50 worth of beads.

Personally I run beads, a humicare, and an oust fan.

I've been going beadless for 2 years now, never had a problem. I often have to pull out multiple trays, or boxes, to find the cigar I want, again no problem. But, what ever works for you.

I emailed Cigarinternational and sadly, they don't ship to Canada anymore. Although it would have been a great deal for 10 wooden boxes.

I have recently also got my hands on a oust fan, so I stuck that in there.

Most definitely. I have a 40 count humi in my coolerdor. If the cigars inside the desktop are already properly humidified and stable, you don't need to leave the lid open.
