Packing your 10 cigar travel case October 2025

[El Presidente]

Scenario

You are hopping on a plane this Saturday and flying out for a much needed 6 day break. Fishing/golfing/friends-family catch-up, it doesn't matter. You have the time, you don't have a heavy itinerary, you will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy a cigar. Now while you may be able to supplement your cigar selection with some local choices, you have been burned before and so best to be self sufficient and bring your own. 

You have your 10 cigar Sotelo case in front of you. 

From the hip (don't overthink it).

Your hand is hovering over the cigars in your humidor. Today, to which cigars is your hand gravitating to?

What is your 10 cigar mix?

My travel case is for my go-to daily smokes. I never know what I might find for variety from local finds. So I always 10-pack just my essentials.

5 PLPC (Mainstay)

2 RA SCC (For shorter windows, would pack more for winter destinations that might be outdoors) 

1 Monte DE (For the luxury of time)

1 Cohiba Siglo II (Break from mainstay)

1 Davidoff Signature 2000 (Change of pace, refresh from Cuban puros)

 

Have been tempted to switch the RA SCC for San Cristobal Principes lately but hasn't quite happened yet. I think it can be done for me, its reliable and pack enough punch in a short format.

Don’t waste too much time overthinking it is always my strategy in times like this. I’ll overthink the packing and smoking selection if I allow myself.

Having misplaced my finer cigars on occasion I try to keep it mostly workmanlike, with a nicer one or two:

2 RG Perla

2 Monte 4

1 Upmann 2

1 RyJ Casadores if I'm outside 

2 Some kind of Lonsdale - Robert+Hamlet 2025, or maybe a Davidoff signature 2 panetela etc.

2 Lusi
