what size cooler?

i've done a lot of searching and haven't found the answer yet. what size cooler am i looking for?

1) I want to put it upright to store boxes of cigars ( i have a humi for my loose ones). possibly with shelves in the cooler.

2) i'm thinking maximum, 20 boxes.

so, what size cooler do i need?
thanks.

I have a 48 quart and it holds about 12-15 boxes of various sizes. Smaller robusto size boxes you might be able to fit more.

Trust me on this, just get the largest one available. You will thank me later.

My cash situation clears itself up sometime next week I believe, so it's off to go check out coolers for me as well. From what I know, the advice given seems sound...get one larger than you think you need.

get the biggest you can - remember though, a cooler full of cigars can be pretty heavy
