el chino Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phinz Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 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). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainQuintero Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I must be part of the skinflint movement 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 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigFish Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 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! -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightonCorgi Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I wrap cigars individually in cellophane when I travel. They'll stay humid for about a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolandHeadlessGunner Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 http://www.sigloaccessory.com/eng/product_details.php?color=MzEz I have this case which I find is great for a day/weekend away. Pricey, but luckily it was given to me as a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
