Buying another coolerdor - need cedar trays

Howdy! It's that time again I have several coolerdors packed to the lid. Hell, i cant even put a sandwich in there! Its been awhile since i bought cigar trays, so i'm looking for some places online. I think the last place i bought some were from bargain humidors. anyone else know any better places? what about some regular old trays from hobby lobby?

The cedar trays are nice, but from a utilitarian point of view, any tray or plastic container will work just fine.

Avoid department store wood trays as you may imart unpleasent aromas in your coolers. Stick with the BH cedar trays or post an ISO request in the Trading Post.

department store cedar is not spanish cedar and you will regret using it... how about old cigar boxes or glad?

thanks guys for the suggestions. i received your PM stogie, and replied.

i may have to get some gladware, if nothing else. my first cigar humidor (purchased on ebay - i know, big mistake ), turned out to be an old jewelry box that someone glued cedar wood into. the damn thing would never hold the humidity, probably because the hinges were not sitting flush on the wood but what can you do? i decided to stick the whole damn humidor in my icechest, and i swear that damn thing is cursed because it still doesnt hold temp.

I'm not sure if you will be able to see them but here is a link. These ones are going in a Vinotemp.
