Questions about NewAir 281e wineador build!!!

Hey guys the Spanish Cedar is supposed to get in next week so the drawer building will start very shortly!!! Before I get started I really wanted some advice.
This is what I know that I want for sure..... I want the bottom drawer to have a false bottom to cover up the Heartfelt beads and the fans. I want one shelf at the very top in case I ever decide to buy a box or two. I would like for one of the drawers to be 2 inches tall or however tall that is needed to comfortably put one layer of cigars in as I want to reserve my "special" 2 inch drawer for my high end smokes such as my Padron 1926, Opus X, GOF etc etc. I do not want to put these cigars in a standard drawer where I am constantly shuffling through them damaging them. Nor do I want to put them in the bottom of a standard drawer as sometimes I just like looking at my nicer sticks and showing them off to my buddies..... I know I am super weird!!!
Do you think that having one shorter 2 inch drawer is a mistake and I should go with all standard drawers? Any suggestions on configuration as I do not want to make a mistake that I regret. The only thing I know for certain is that I want a bottom drawer with a false bottom and one shelf.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Personally, I am making all of mine 2" drawers, but I wanted it that way so they could act as a drawer, or a shelf.

One bit of advice...have all of your safety shields etc. on your table saw if you are using one...don't ask me how I know.

Also, welcome!! Glad you found your way to the rest of we bums.

Ilroy, with your 2 inch drawers...... can you stack 2 layers of cigars if you wanted to? For example if I had 10 Padron 1926 could I have a section of my 2 inch drawer where I stacked them on top of each other (5 on top of the 5) or is the 2" drawer too shallow for that?

I haven't finished them yet due to a table saw mishap that has delayed me, so I can't answer that for sure. I am fairly sure that I will be able to go at least 2 high though, 3 at the max, unless you are going with 70 rg

. Even if I have to do an offset stack it should work fine, kind of like the bottom two rows of a pyramid shape.

Perfect.... thanks a ton. Totally random, but what the heck happened to puff.com? The site was constantly crashing so I just figured it was crashed until weeks started to pass then I began to suspect that it was gone for good.

From what I've gathered, the owners just up and killed it out of the blue. I am not one of those in the know, but it basically is no longer.

It crashed last time for over a week. I noticed the lack of non-forum postings as they were doing before after it came back up. Owners seemed less interested.

I am perfectly happy over here.
