I use an OtterBox, Cigar Caddy. It has got to be at least 15 years old. I’m not even sure that they make them anymore, since they have been doing so well with their cell phone cases. There are other brands that make similar ones now though. This one holds about 40 Churchill sized cigars, and obviously, a lot more if they are smaller cigars. The only reason I put my cigars in bags is because the foam inserts start to smell after a while of direct contact with the cigars, It is air tight. You cant even open it after it has been in a pressurized airplane. That is what the black knob is for. You unscrew it out of it’s hole so you can open the case again. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the foam does impart or retain some odors I don’t care for. It was starting to bother me a bit on last trip and I think your solution is simple and effective since I am not using the humidifier and can throw my 54% Bovida in the bag since I am usually dry boxing anyway. Nice call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GVan Posted February 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2020 Finishing a box of Monte #2's - EAR FEB-02 - had saved them for special events; new job, promotion, grandchild, loosing job .... Since starting to order from FOH decide to smoke them away and move on to other CC's. Since it was a post breakfast cigar, tried the OJ with a Monte from the FOH video - pretty good way to start the day! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers This is my 2nd HUPRR from EPM ENE 19 and I thinks they need some time down still. Some muted Upmann flavors right now with @RDBbitters domination. Dip #2 young and extremely smokeable. I am really starting to like this flavor profile. The Whistle Pig Farmstock Rye is nice too Morning C&C Time. MC#4 24:24 REG MAY 18 ?. Smoking the house down. Daughters of the Wind Cremello. Thanks to @Islandboyfor posting on this Marca last year. Not easy to find and I grabbed a few different vitolas for sampling.

Popular Post JohnS Posted February 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2020 Diplomáticos Norteños 2018 - Edición Regional Canadá UEB Ago 2018 I must thank @Thirds for gifting me this recent Canadian Regional Edition to review. I had received the same cigar to review from @Chucko8 around six months ago, with the same box code, so I looked forward in anticipation to smoking this today, especially since I very much enjoyed that last one. The Diplomaticos Nortenos was released in the second half of 2018 in six thousand 10-count dress boxes. There have been seven Regional releases in the Diplomaticos marca, three in 2018 alone! This cigar also represents the tenth Canadian Regional Edition since 2007. It is a Robusto vitola, with a 50 ring gauge x 124 mm (or 4⅞ inches) length. I had written in my previous review that when I find the Diplomaticos No.2 on the savoury side, it can have strong notes of capsicum or bell pepper and paprika spice. Other Diplomaticos cigars I've enjoyed over the years have been sweeter...more cinnamon spice and nutmeg. This Nortenos Robusto was again unmistakably on the sweet side. For me, Diplomaticos cigars are all about sourdough and it was evident here from the first few puffs. I experienced a refined combination of sourdough, cream and strawberries mainly throughout the cigar. I've had Diplomaticos No.2 cigars that have been quite toasty and potent in paprika spice, this cigar had a hint of that paprika spice which made it tangy on the palate. This did not detract from its slightly 'sweeter' profile. There was little to no capsicum or bell pepper. In the last third I felt the cigar heat up a little and detected a hint of roasted nut. The construction was excellent. I only ashed three times in total as ash-length was over an inch long, easily. I nubbed this as far as I could go. The mild, sweeter Diplomaticos flavour profile really resonated with me. Smoking time was approximately 70 minutes, which is about average for me in smoking a Robusto-sized cigar. In regards to value, well...these things are relative. Due to higher Canadian taxes this cigar will most likely cost you more than your regular production Diplomaticos No.2 to acquire. However, I'm Australian and expensive tobacco duties are 'par-for-course' for me, so I'm grateful to have sampled this quality Canadian Regional Edition cigar today. 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure was a fantastic example of a Padron and definitely in the top tier of the limited number of padron sticks I’ve tried. I found it to have quite a punch toward the end of the 2nd third giving quite the nicotine buzz. The start of it was a sweet chocolate and wood, which transitioned into a peppery earthiness with the wood also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
