Popular Post PigFish Posted February 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2017 As people are posting different ideas on how to travel with a cigar now, I have a question to ask. How many of you keep your smaller travel cases, leather or wood cases, in your humidor? This is something that I have done for sometime now. I mean why let your travel case, such as a leather one, get all dried when you can have it 'seasoned' and ready to go when you are? Since humidor space is not a problem for me, I have been known to throw all sorts of things in a humidor. And if you want to keep your hygroscopic 'transporters' in line with your cigars, you should store them in your humidor with them!!! Cheers! -Piggy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep my empty tubos in a humidified (with Bovedas) Tupperware container, as well as my leather 3-finger case and several cedar sheet separators from dress boxes. I use tubos or the leather case for a night out by myself, and my Xikar 10 count case for longer trips. Humidified cedar sheets go in my Xikar when travelling. - MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oside Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I have a Xikar 10 count travel humidor. I have enough room for cigars, large 65% boveda, cutter and lighter. This setup is perfect for my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I have a 15 count Xikar travel humidor but I rarely use it anymore. Rather, I use a varnished 10 count Cohiba Piramides Extra box when I'm on the go. I don't even bother with a boveda pack anymore...no need, average relative humidity is so stable year round in my part of the world that the box serves its purpose as a temporary humidor.

It will hold a Monte Esp. or Lanceros in favor of those fat short cigars that are all the rage! -Piggy I almost spit out my wine when I saw "resident cigar climatologist" next to your name.

Every time I check its humidity it's always close to 60. Good enough for moi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugu Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Recommendation? Tubos! Own a couple of cases of diff. kind - never actually use them! When it comes to practicality, it is like with my lighters - I always grab the working horse instead of the chichi, and that's a tubo (or two or three...). While cases are looking nice - if you ask me, the best, the perfect transportation means is a tubo. Can't quite follow the fuss about carrying cases, and I don't get it why on earth I keep on buying this gewgaw once and again when I come across a - what I consider at that moment - nice one.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the logic regarding humidity, but I keep them separate to reduce the risk of introducing foreign contaminants into the humi. My travel cases have seen a few places. Sometimes outside camping, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered one and can't wait for it to come! Looks like a great case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickamory Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Reviving this thread... all the links are dead including the fohclassified one (what case was that?) I've got the smaller Dupont/Cohiba two-cigar case, which barely fits two robustos. Would like a three-cigar leather case for going out in the evening, preferably high-quality hard leather. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations? When I was in Houston a few weeks ago I checked out an elie bleu 3 stick case in a color they call Havana. I very much liked it though it seemed big to me. It's been on my mind since, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy556 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 https://brizardandco.com/products/the-show-band-3-cigar-case-black-leather I was given one of these as a gift (it has an embossed logo on the front) and it is very nice. Honestly, nicer then any place I would be taking my cigars to, but I would definitely recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Reading this old thread made me check my cigar cases - I only use 4 all the time, a 3 finger Cohiba, a 3 finger Partagas, a JJ Fox and an old WWI vintage case with the GB coat of arms plus 2 Xikar 5 count and 10 count boxes ... So I have 6 cigars cases that lay around and I never use. 3 are leather, made in Spain, 1 is leather with cedar insert and the Swiss flag and 2 are ultra light weight carbon fibre, Swiss made I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
