When you get a box "label" it with where you bought it, the price, etc... Then log all of that information into a spreadsheet before it goes into a humidor. Singles are a pain no mater how you cut it. Best of luck anyway you go.
Spoken like a young man who is able to keep up with that many.
If you're getting older, and can't remember **** - 1,000 to 1500 is more than you want to try to keep up with.
I will say that Buckwheat is probably correct in that being about the max practical amount, and that to a large extent it depends on where you live and the ambient temp.
I live in SC and it gets so hot and humid here most summers (been mostly milder this year) and my wife and I are most comfortable in the summertime with the inside temp around 76 degrees. With that setting it's not so brutal going in and out of the AC and seems more comfortable.
That means wineadors for storage.
That means more expense and space.
I like keeping mine around 67/67 or 68/68.
Coolers are fine in winter, here. A problem for summer, at least in my house.
