Cigar Weekly

I have an Aristocrat mini that I love. I recently noticed that I often have mutliple boxes of cigars in there that are less than half full. I started thinking that it might be better to add another singles drawer. I contacted Bob Staebell and he said that installation is very easy. So I'm trying to decide whether I should get another singles drawer or not.

I like the idea of two singles drawers. It would allow me to have easy access to my cigars (no more searching through boxes and trying to get them back in place). I'd also have the pleasure of looking at my cigars whenever I open my cabinet and pull out a drawer.

On the down side I'd lose some storage space for boxes, but I don't think I'd lose that much and I don't think I'd run out of space.

What do you think? Has anyone else here done this?

Can you combine half boxes of similar styles/sizes?

Add a label on the outside to aid your brain cells.

That wouldn't be a problem and is a good idea. I've already consolidated two boxes that way and emptied some other boxes and put them in the singles drawer. But I still think I like the idea of having two singles drawers. I was hoping someone else here might have actually tried this already and could let me know what they think. But I'm in no rush.

I'm a cooler guy, but I do have a singles tray in each if that helps.

We all know you're a pretty cool guy, but that doesn't help me at all.

Right now I have one singles drawer. I just reorganized everything recently and I'm getting some new cigars in the mail. I'll see what it looks like once I have all the new stock. Most of the remaining boxes are more than 3/4 full, so the boxes aren't wasting much space.

My Aristocrat has 2 drawers & I love it that way

I've got two large desktops as well as a medium sized one and all three have removable trays. The medium (which is opened most often) one's tray functions as a singles tray. I take everything out of boxes to maximize capacity and still occassionally have to use a tupperdor as temporary extra capacity.

I'm still thinking it over. I'm in no rush. I just bought a few more boxes and once I have everything inside I'll decide whether I think another drawer will be of benefit for my needs. Thanks for the input guys.
