got about 60 loose smokes and I need to put them in something, right now they are just on a plastic sheet in my winecoolidor. I just got 3 boxes of Brazilia Gols and unfortunately the boxes are all paper and cardboard.

Kinda sucks.

Whats a good brand that is good for aging cigars in a Winecoolidor?
 
I would suggest just about any cabinet style box with a slidding top that can be removed. There are soo many brands that use the I wouldn't even know where to start.

These are really nice, or for instant gratification, you can also check with your local B&M for any empty Spanish Cedar boxes that will accomidate the size of the smokes you are looking to store. Un-varnished boxes are best from what I have read, which makes sense - you don't want the potential fumes from the varnish.
 
Some of the Fuentes sold under another name are excellent spanish cedar boxes. Montesino, Ashton, La Unica Cameroon, Peterson, to name a few.

I really like the Montesino Super Belicoso and Peterson Beli and churchill due to quality of wood and size.

Just stop in the local B&M and ask them for some slide top boxes. If you frequent the place they should just give them to ya!!!

This is true IF there is a decision maker present. Most places charge a dollar for wooden and fifty cents for cardboard - still a great bargain for quality spanish cedar boxes.

You can tell cedrela odorada(Spanish Cedar) by the smell. The best ones reek of it! :D

The Padron boxes are good because they are sturdy and have a good hinged top. They are designed to last because Padron recycles their boxes.

I agree, most of the boxes in my cooler are from Padron or Fuente - they seem to hold up the best.

For some reason though, I kinda like to empty the boxes out my self..........:ss
