My Briefcase Update

[Hiroshiro]

Got my Foam today. I did get the Yellow with, but I have the option to choose grey, blue or red, maybe I should try them.

I am also thinking of making generic versions of the briefcase humidor at different sizes. You guys think people would be interested?

You're making the inserts for the Davidoff briecfase yourself?  Pretty cool design. Different slots for different sized cigars. I assume the central square is for an ashtray or loose storage for more cigars, accessories?

You've modified this item correct?

I wouldn’t carry a briefcase but a cigar and accessories case that could fit in a backpack would be cool.

Yes! I have both the Black one and this one.
Actually the Square in the middle is for a Boveda Pack, either the side by side or the 320. 
I'm gonna redo it for a 2 stack and add more cigar slots. Right now I'm just experimenting with it

I was thinking something like this. But it can be any size. As long as there is enough room for the layer of cigars. Bottom should clear at least 2 inches and top I need 3/4s, but I can adjust from there. Also make custom slots for accessories.

In the words Guy Fieri, rolling up with a silver case like that full of cigars would be "totally gangster"!

[PauvreLelian]

That case is bad ass!!!

I think im pretty happy how everything turned out. I'm liking the Blue with Black and the Yellow with The Cuban Maroon. There are two.more colors to try, red and gray, and then I'll have a good Idea how everything looks. I'm shopping around for.small aluminum cases that could double as Humidors with foam inserts.

Loving your hobby!

I have linked Ken into this thread. His travel humidors are a touch more ..whats the word  ...utilitarian.

This one definitely jumped out at me. Looks great!

Honestly for myself I wouldn't be. But I don't usually partake in the cigar accessory lifestyle. So this item just isn't up my alley. However, I know there's definitely a market for those that do. Keep up the great work sir!

I’m a hard hat, gang box & blue prints kinda guy. But I must say, even from my uncultured perspective, that is quite nice!

Loving the blue one!

More updates. So I'm happy with the Foam but also wanted to try Spanish Cedar. It's coming along. With the cedar I get 2 levels instead of 1. Good for travel. I took the red wood from Year of the Rabbit Boxes (I'm a Rabbit so it works) to add some color. Max ring gauge is 56, as the cigar gods intended (I don't like feeling uncomfortable lol)

Finished the Cedar trays. It didn't add too much weight to the briefcase and I can carry double.

Impressive!  Well done.  So much for me & gallon ziplock bag for traveling with cigars 😞
