help needed with temp coolidor setup

[s0ber]

I just bought my first cooler today. Tomorrow or monday im expecting some "special" cigars from hong kong to come in. I ordered my coolidor brick from vern but i dont expect it till later next week. I wanna know if theres some kind of ghetto way I can set up the coolidor till the brick comes in?Sponge with some distilled water or something? Any advice would be helpful.

Oasis floral foam with some distilled water should work ok. Watch the humidity though. It could get a little high.

You can also pick it up at any of the craft stores.

It's the green foam blocks that hold the flowers for floral arangements.

There are 2 different kinds of floral foam, make sure you get the wet foam.

Charge with 50/50 solution and you're all set.

I don't know what the humidity is like where you live, but here in Houston a cigars will last a week with no humidification, just put them in a bag or in the cooler, I suspect if you leave the cigars boxed there will probably be enough moisture in there to keep them good until you get the brick in. Just my thought, whatever you do, I'd leave them in the box to buffer them against drastic changes in humidity.

s0ber-

I just put one of these together, had the same deal-had to wait a bit for the climmax beads :0 . I did just what the guys are suggesting here, get a small tupperware bowl, place the floral "stuff" in the bowl, charge with 50/50, cut some holes in the top, put the top on and you should be go to go for a while. Make sure you get the kind of foam that you can wet down, there are two types. I had a hard time keeping the humidity down, i live in MI and it is humid in the summer.

I have the beads in there now and they work MUCH better for my environment. Locked in at 65%.
