Habanos leather cases

[Tollickd]

Hello all

 

I am going on a trip state side in November and want to get a nice leather case to take some cigars day to day! Does anyone own any of the official Habanos one like r and j, Montecristo!

 

Are they a good idea or are some of the unofficial real leather ones From China any good they have a some cool Cohiba designs

Are you dead set on Habanos branded? If not, check out:

I don't have one ( yet ), but a number of members here do and love them.

Man those are nice and I'm sure the quality is there but they're so g'darn expensive. Do they come with a lifetime warranty at least? That might be the kicker there.

I don't know about warranty.... But they are real people and not contractors, so I imagine they can answer any questions.

For what it's worth, I'd personally rather pay more once than less a number of times. I've had the same Vanson jacket for well over twenty years - sometimes ya gets what ya pay for......

I have had a PJ case for the last 2+ years and I love it. I do like their new design better though. I almost want to get a second one, in a different color...

The after-sales customer service is awful.

Ask all your questions before you purchase it.

 

I dont have any official finger case from habanos but usually their not-a-box cases are in the high quality side.

Same here. I’ve had mine for a few years and love it. But I really like the new design.

I'll buy a new-style if someone wants my old-style case?? I'll let it go for a good deal, or trade for cigars...I'll be in Dallas/Ft worth area around the end of the month. Just thought I'd throw that out there (I'm in Afghanistan now)

I have the older pj case and love it. Don’t expect I’ll ever get rid of it or buy another.

The gold from the ash siesta rubbed off on the case (didn't affect the siesta), and the elastic is wearing out on mine. Other than that, it's holding up great.

Same for how I feel about mine. Love it.

Another vote for PJ, this one has the shoulder strap and extra pockets. It can fit a full sixed box of cigars!

The Peter James case is superb but I am really pissed off that the Robustos case I have from them does not have the cigar protector (The guardian?) included, I think the new one does. I cannot find anywhere in Europe to buy one, seriously annoying.

Why not just use tubes? I have since I got mine. Personally, I like it better than the guardian which I probably would have taken out even if it came included.

[Derboesekoenig]

That's what I've been worried about. I keep tossing my tubes. I need to get some 2 or 3 finger cases and maybe use those. PJ case never had a guardian when I bought mine--must be a new thing.

Those Peter James cases look great! I'm not usually one to collect accessories but I may need to add one to my shopping list soon. I have this case from Siglo. It's a simple 3 cigar pouch but it's pretty sturdy and I haven't had any cigars damaged in it. 

[Derboesekoenig]

I may have to pick one of those up. When I go smoke someone, I always have my PJ case with me. It's not very sturdy to protect cigars inside so you just can't throw it around unless you have the cigars in a separate tube or hardshell case.

If I were you, I would definitely convert Pelican iM2100 Storm case into travel cigar case by adding customised Spanish Cedar trays (Boveda 65% pack and hygrometer as well) and put cigars and cigar tools such as cigar cutter, torch lighter and ashtray all together in this case.

I myself was one of the person who was interested in leather cigar cases like Peter James's but I decided to go with my own custom travel cigar case conversion project with Pelican iM2100 instead as it was not only cheaper but also airtight and rigid which could make humidity more stable than leather ones. Hope that my advice will help you throughout your cigar journey :-).

For Habanos S.A. leather case, Habanos S.A. actually manufactured various leather cigar cases like Cohiba Maduro case but difficult to find and the price is quite steep since most of them are released as included good in LEs, etc like Upmann Robustos.

Those PJ cases are fantastic. Thanks for the heads up.

Just use a 3 finger case, that actually protects better than the guardian.. And you can carry more smokes and with guardian alone.
