Why not get a cooler that fits inside the chest?

I like the way you think...

Ben, like Skipper said, I use an unmodified cooler (not lined in cedar, no shelves) just to store my boxes. I use the 65% heartfelt beads, and I then literally leave it alone. It keeps my cigars in better condition than my actual humidor. I used distilled water to clean out the cooler and then moved the cigars in. No muss, no fuss.

Cooler with beads works just fine. No cedar needed.

I have to agree with the other gentlemen. Heirloom, non replaceable. Go cooler sir.

I can't thank everyone enough for all the insight. The army chest is too important to risk. I will be going with the coolidor. Now the search is on the perfect cooler!
Thanks again
Ben
Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.

Find the size you think you need and double it. Then buy a second of the doubled size as a backup. Trust me.
