I want to get a tupperdor about the size of a 100-quarts or bigger (well, maybe around 70-quarts or bigger). Is there such a thing and if there is such a monster, where can I get one ? The darn freaking cooleer won't fit in some of the closets because of the length (100-quart cooler)...

I'm not sure if they have rubbermaid containers that large... Have you considered standing the cooler up with some shelving? Works great for me

I own 2 72 quart tupperdors. I don't know if they are made by tupperwarwe, but, they are plastic storage bins none the less.

The cooler does not have the groove like the 150-quarts size to put in separators so I do not think I can stack that many cigar boxes high. Also if standing on end, it probably would be a waste of space inside the cooler because there certainly will be extra room on the side. Can't stack 2 boxes side by side, and one box will leave a lot of empty room in the cooler. What I am trying to accomplish is to maximize the usage of space inside the coolerdor. And also if I stand a cooler on end, I can only store one cooler only in the closet where as if I lay it coffin-wise, I can stack up definitely 2 coolers, may be even three...

It is much easier to move two 60 or 70 qt coolers than it is to move one 120 qt, especially when it is full.

Go with a smaller cooler, and buy fewer, but better quality cigars.

Your palate and back will thank you.

Go with a cooler. Better seal, better temperature control, less maintenance.

Agree'd!

I looked at quite a few tupperware-like containers not too long ago (Walmart, Target, etc.). Ended up going the cooler route - much better seal. Most of the plastic containers don't seal very well (flimsy or poorly constructed). Plus, you have to pay attention to how the lid fits on - several seemed to fit pretty well, but on closer inspection, the lid sometimes has ribs for strength, and it's these ribs that end up seating against the top rim of the container instead of the entire perimeter of the lid - too likely to cause humidity loss IMO - not good.

I got an 18gal /72qt rubbermaid container and added weatherstripping to the top edge. It's holding at 70% steady with some florist foam and PG distilled water. $5 plus some scrap weatherstripping that was laying around. my house is always between 68-72 so no real need for a cooler that I can see.
