We live in a tiny 1,000 sqf apartment in NYC, and ever since our daughter was born, we have even less space....I've been looking for a compact solution to keep a few cigars on hand and fresh, and this travel kit is the PERFECT solution.... The one thing that stands out immediately before even discussing the insides and performance of the case, is how incredibly stunning this thing looks and feels. The leather is super soft and extremely well constructed. They absolutely did not cut any corners with manufacturing here, no errant stitching or loose threads anywhere. This LOOKS and FEELS like a super premium, luxury leather good, on par with a Louis Vuitton bag, no joke. Inside, you get room for 9 cigars, and it has a discrete, dedicated compartment for the included premium torch lighter. The lighter is also really, really nice.....nothing like your $5 lighter from the gas station. It seems to be made from heavy duty aluminum, it's got some nice heft to it and feels very substantial in your hand. The lighter has a built in v-cutter (which is perfect, I'm always misplacing my cheap cutter, this keeps everything in once place) and also a punch cutter if you prefer that instead. The cedar wood trays are removeable for cleaning, and there's also a dedicated spot for the humidity sponge as well. The hygrometer on these things usually aren't super reliable, but this one seems to be measuring pretty accurately, reading about ~70% humidity after I soak the humidifier and leave for 24 hours, which is right about where it should be. The hygrometer is also removable, and possibly replaceable if you find one with similar dimensions. All in all, this is the perfect humidor for taking stogies on the go, or for anyone who's conscious about space. There really aren't any flaws I can think of...it might not hold humidity as well as a dedicated wooden humidor box, but this thing is super portable and travel friendly, which makes up for it and probably performs at least ~80% as well as a dedicated wooden box humidor. Would recommend 100%, if you're on the fence, just grab this, you won't be disappointed! Read more
This travel humidor punches way above what I expected for the price, from the soft textured leather on the outside to the full Spanish cedar lining on the inside. The caramel color has a warm, classic look to it and the stitching is tight and even all around. When you unzip it, the cedar smell hits you immediately, which is always a good sign. The interior is all wood with individual grooves for each cigar and two Velcro straps to keep everything locked down during travel. It holds nine standard-size cigars comfortably and there is enough padding that I feel confident tossing it in a carry-on without worrying about damage. I love the all-in-one setup they have going on here. There is a dedicated pocket built into the lid that fits the included torch lighter, and the lighter itself is no joke. It has a solid weight to it and comes with an integrated V-cutter and a cigar punch, so you have all your tools in one place. No more digging around in separate bags or pockets for your cutter. The external hygrometer on the front is another smart touch because you can check the humidity level without opening the case and letting the moisture out. And the upgraded 6mm raised sealing edge around the zipper does a noticeably better job at keeping the humidity locked in compared to the cheaper travel cases I have used before. Coming to the seal and humidity control, the tight-seal design works well. I loaded it up, set the humidifier, and checked the hygrometer after a day and it held steady right where I wanted it. The humidifier sits on the inside and is easy to remove and re-saturate. One thing I will mention is be careful not to over-saturate it because the vent on the bottom of the humidifier can let excess moisture through if you soak it too much. Just dampen it properly and you will be fine. My only pet-peeve is the carrying handle. It is attached to the case with button-hole loops instead of being stitched directly into the leather. It feels secure enough for now, but I could see it being a weak point if you are carrying a fully loaded case by the handle regularly over time. A reinforced stitch-through design would have been the better move there. But given the quality of the leather, the cedar, and the included accessories, this is a lot of value packed into one case. If you travel with cigars and want something that keeps them fresh while looking sharp in your luggage, this humidor has everything you need right out of the box. Read more
I ordered this travel cigar humidor for my husband, who enjoys cigars and occasionally meets friends at a cigar club or brings one along to celebrations and special events. From the moment we saw it, we were impressed by the case’s appearance. The soft, rich leather in a warm caramel color makes it look both elegant and luxurious. There’s a small built-in hygrometer on the outside of the case, which makes it easy to check that the cigars are stored at the proper humidity. The size is ideal for travel—large enough to hold up to nine standard-size cigars but still compact enough to pack easily. It also has a leather carrying handle that lays flat when not in use. Inside, the case is lined with beautiful Spanish cedar trays that are removable and have deep grooves to help keep the cigars secure. There are also two leather straps to hold everything in place. This set also includes a sturdy lighter with a built-in V-cutter and cigar punch, plus a leather snap case to keep the lighter protected. Just note that the lighter does not come filled with butane due to shipping regulations, but refills are easy to find at most retail stores or smoke shops. The case also includes a removable humidifier bar that can be filled with distilled water and slowly releases moisture to help keep the cigars fresh while stored in the case. Overall, the entire set feels thoughtfully designed and well constructed. My husband was really happy with it, and it would make a great gift for any cigar lover who enjoys bringing cigars along for social gatherings, special occasions, or trips. Read more
