As far as the cooler / winecooler option I should have mentioned mine has a good amount of wood boxes and in addition I have cedar sheets and liners and a good collection of cedar "blocks" that were used as fillers for some boxes when cigars didn't take up all the space. This really helps me maintain RH and allows the beads to wick moisture as needed. I'm too cheap to splurge for those fancy cedar shelves, but i'm sure those would help also.
