Greetings FOH,

I wanted to get you thoughts on cigar cases.  Custom made ones would be nice.  Particularly the 3 finger cedar lined type.  I've seen a lot of just plain leather types without the cedar lining.

Wondering if the leather will impart on the taste or flavor of the cigars?

 

This case would be for my daily "EDC".  For longer travels I just throw them in a cigar box that lives in a pelican case.

 

Thanks!  Thoughts and recommendations is appreciated!

I like the Xikar 5 stick and 20 stick hard cases for serious travel, but have cheapo 2 and 3 stick leather cases for light travel (like heading to a casino). My two stick leather one is just leather, while the three stick is cedar lined, but since cigars never stay in them for more than a couple of days, I notice no difference in flavor. 

Sorry, no experience with the custom ones, as I just couldn't imagine spending much on a travel case (they're fun to look at, but I'm sure I'd just end up losing it).

Hey Rob, did I miss a beat? When did you launch the "FOH Classifieds" section?

Quiet launch until we get it right. 

If members have a comment about some of the suppliers, post it on there. If you think there are suppliers who add quality value to members here, let them know to get in touch.

Wow those cases are very very nice! and functional also.

I must be part of the skinflint movement :D I've always used empty tubos. The black and red Partagas ones are particularly snazzy, the old aluminium ones are timeless too.

I don't like the new coloured ones in general nor the slidey 'pop' suction ones

Aluminium screw tops for me

I kinda' like my Cohiba case. It will hold a Monte Esp. or Lanceros in favor of those fat short cigars that are all the rage!

I have a few different cases, but tubes are my go-to as well. I find them convenient to carry and that they take up less space than a case.

I got this, one of the best cases I ever bought.

Yes, they do look very nice! I have seen them in the PCC retail store. They are definitely a high end cigar case.

I wrap cigars individually in cellophane when I travel.  They'll stay humid for about a month.

Bwana, so I see a lighter and cutter, but what part of that case actually carries a cigar?

I like wrapping in cellophane, too. The trick is to use Saran Wrap Classic. It's literally a different plastic and much less permeable than the cling-wraps.

When rolling up the cigar, I like to use a Post It note inside the out edge so I can tell where it is when I want to unroll it.
