I bought 1 with the Boveda pack & 1 without.

The calibration can be adjusted on these.

Use should also salt test whatever you choose, as they can be be off in their readings.

Kinda fun isn't it?

Cooler and beads = the way to go.  The seal on a cooler can't be beat and the beads are worry free.  Plus, if you end up thinking that this 'hobby' isn't for you, you can still use the cooler for capri suns and hawaiian punch like sergione and jeebus.

Ask your local B&M shop for some old cigar boxes to put in your cooler.  The cedar will smell great and help with humidity and storage of your cigars.
Make sure you post pictures of your project.  Good luck.

I think you're 100% right on in terms of your storage plans.
Too many times I've seen folks go out and spend a bunch of money on a 50 or 100-count desktop humidor, fill it up, buy another one, fill it up, and then buy another one before realizing that they've invested so much money in several small storage spaces that all need separate maintainance, when they could have gotten a good sized cooler for far less and used that cash to fill it with some primo stuff.

oh man you missed the big point to the smaller humidors.... have one in every room as a just in case! Having a humidor in every room is like a dog marking his territory.
