How to best keep you smokes when traveling?

[Colt45]

I'm another who uses hard caddy style travelers. I've a few in different sizes, with my fave probably a ten count which is flat - that is, the cigars are in one single row.

But my personal experience seems a little at odds with that of most members. I find that the seal on these cases are very good at maintaining humidity, so I never add any type of moisture, Actually, i use a churchill sized tube which I've drilled holes in and filled with silica in an attempt to keep humidity down.

When I've travelled to very warm climates, I've ended up with somewhat over humidified cigars. Again, that's just my own experience.

When traveling for a period of 4-7 days I dont typically pack my sticks with humidification, I feel its a good time to "dry box" them so to speak. Assuming you know you will smoke them with in 7 days Its the way to go.

I have a small travel humidor. I put my cigars in a ziplock plastic bag which remains sealed inside the humidor. Most travel humidors do not maintain humidity the same as my main humidor at home. The plastic bag will help ensure constant humidity levels with the humidor keeping the cigars from getting smashed. The travel humidor holds about 12 cigars.

Another vote for cigarcaddy, i have the 10 count, good enough for me for a week or 2 of traveling. Previously used Tupperware, the cigars were getting damaged so decided invest a bit on cigarcaddy and i was traveling quite fair bit so it made sense.

Coming back to your question for traveling to drier climates, you need an extra humidification in the Tupperware or cigarcaddy. Ive done Vegas and Middle East without humidification and the cigars came out dry and brittle. For normal climates, you can do without humidification, the moisture from the cigar should be able to humidify a small container for a short period of time.

A ziplock bag usually does it for me. Sometimes I just re-use tubos.

I travel to Florida 2-3 a month for a week at a time, I use old tubos and a throw a bunch of smokes in an empty cigar box....no issues w them drying out at all since I am only gone 5 days at a time and all contents arrive safely. I personally dont think you need any type of humidification device if your traveling for 7 days or less
