LutzSpearo Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Anyone have one of these aficionado cases? I like that it holds everything, it aggravates me carrying a 5 count traveldor to the pub with all the other paraphernalia in my pockets. http://www.peterjames.ca/ If you have something else that you use and like better definitely speak up please! Thank you. 1
Waah954 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Was looking into that as it was mentioned on this forum somewhere. I never got around to it but i am beating myself over it as they had a limited edition black and red and now its not longer an option. Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk
LLC Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Have one and love it. Practical and made with great leather and care.
Akela3rd Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Looks perfect, been vaguely looking for something to take out. Added to Father's Day wish list! Or birthday list. Or I Deserve A Treat list...
Blazer Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I have an old Tommy Bahama case that is very similar, though more rigid. The challenge with mine is that the cutter and lighter slots are very small not allowing me to carry my favorite accessories.
Drguano Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I have this Tumi pouch that contained amenities from Delta Business Class and now holds all of this crap. No slots or compartments but it was free! 1
KGM Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Saw those when Rob was giving one away a few months back. While they are beautiful and look like a great kit, I'm way too clumsy for a soft sided cigar case. Have lost several good sticks to my carelessness. Love my 5ct hard side. Have been thinking about cutting down the foam to a 3 finger, and mounting a cedar divider so I could put accessories in the newly vacant space. Should easily fit a poker, 2x lighters, and 2x cutter which is all I ever really carry.
oliverdst Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 It's beautiful but IMO it's something more to be showed off than usefull.
jsavoie88 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I just ordered one of these in tan: http://www.legendarysaxon.com/lifestyle/cigarcarrier I haven't gotten it in yet, but I'll let you know what I think as soon as it comes in. 1
Johneastridge Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I've been eyeing that case for a couple months now. Just can't make myself drop the coin on it. Looks like an awesome product though IMO
El Presidente Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Go the Peter James Travel case. http://www.peterjames.ca/shop Great quality. Love mine.
Lotusguy Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 As someone else stated above the little travel toiletries bags you get when flying business class are free and very useful. 1
LutzSpearo Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 Go the Peter James Travel case. http://www.peterjames.ca/shop Great quality. Love mine. The Robusto Case or Aficionado Case? I am looking at the Aficionado one because it's a little bigger.
mcease022 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I can find a better way to spend $250 IMO. Cigars maybe...
El Presidente Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I can find a better way to spend $250 IMO. Cigars maybe... No doubt. I am much the same. However I love a piece of equipment that will last me 10+ years, day in and day out. Pays for itself in sheer utility. 4
Fuzz Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I have this Tumi pouch that contained amenities from Delta Business Class and now holds all of this crap. No slots or compartments but it was free!image.jpeg I have the exact same Tumi pouch, but got mine from MAS.

Pays for itself in sheer utility. Very true. I guess I just don't have the need for it. I guess if I brought cigars out to an occasion and wanted to look the part I would use it. I am usually smoking at home or if I go on a camping/canoe trip I actually pack my sticks in a hard sunglasses case. Cheap and it keeps them safe.
Colt45 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I like it, but I'm a long time fan of quality leather products - I've a leather backpack I had made by a local leather artisan, I've forgotten how many eons ago (for relatively short money, who also made my motorcycle saddle bags) which I've taken everywhere and has worn like iron - I use it every day. The cigar case looks quite useful, looks like it would easily hold a small notepad to jot down notes, along with the other items it's designed to hold. For me, tossing this down on the lounge table would be no different than one of my hard cases or leather finger cases - except that it would be more utilitarian. I carry my cigars and accessories in any number of ways, and also try to avoid the aficionado aspect / moniker, but it's always nice to have a place for everything, and everything in it's place.
BBS Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 That's a beautiful leather case, but seems like a lot of money for the purpose. At our local Saturday Market, there's this red eyed hippy guy that makes leather purses, etc. Does really nice work. A few years ago, he had these really nice little leather drawstring pouches....for $7.00 each. I bought one for my five count traveldor, and for my 15 count as well. Tied them onto the traveldor; plenty of room for a cutter, a punch, and a lighter. Perfect. Works for me. I'm sure that leather case would be a dandy, but for 3% of the cost, my solution works great. JMHO........
Waah954 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I have decided to pull the trigger and will be buying 2, black and brown but before i do, does anyone have any promotional code for some kinda of discount ? Will hold off for couple more days just incase someone provides me with one☺. Also is the cigar holder thing worth it might include that in the purchase. And no i aint keeping both one will be a gift. Thanks Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk

The cigar holder is/was not included. I think you can buy it as an optional (like the lighter).
oliverdst Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Apparently just the aficionado case (bigger) has the cigar holder option. Robusto option does not.

Yeah i am aware the cigar holder is an extra but is it worth getting ? Does it come in handy/useful? Thanks Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk 1

Well, I dont have it but see many pictures of guys using it. I confess sometimes it would be worth for me.
