If you or anybody is interested in the case, I get them on ebay.  They are called XiKAR 201Xi travel case.  There are a couple I see on there for $12 & 14.  I have purchased from both cigarnet & paul-briganti that have them listed with great success.

Just chopped the first cigar.  Worked like a charm!

Do your dividers fit snug?  Mine seem kind of loose.

Ok, that makes sense.  I've totally maximized my storage by stacking individual sticks in the lower compartments, no boxes in mine.  Love the capacity of that foot locker, but hate the digging...

How do your dividers fit in your foot locker?  Mine are loose and seem to be prone to falling over one way or the other unless they are supported by something.  It really makes it a pain to use them, which is part of the reason I just use the bottom section for boxes.  Wondering how yours fit.  If they are loose, how do you deal with that?

Trent was wondering how I had the bowels of my foot locker arranged so I'm posting the pic here:

I keep a Boveda 69 and a black ice wedge in each compartment and that combo is holding very steady in the mid to high 60's

Thanks for the image!  It looks like your dividers don't fit snugly either.  I was trying to devise a way to get mine a little tighter.  Maybe wedging some paper in between or something like that.  Looks nice though!  You've got quite the stash going on down there.

If I completely empty one compartment and not the other then the divider starts to slip, but the relatively equal pressures on either side of the dividers keep them in place ok.

Yes, a veritable treasure box, thanks to the enablement of this fine forum! :rocker:
