Armored Humidor Systems 15 stick

Kind of a tough one to review, as unless you forget it under the wheel of the car or let it fall out of the boat you may not get to see all the advantages of Pelican cases. I use a larger (1440) Pelican case for cameras and lash that to the deck of my sea kayak when I go offshore on Lake Superior. It's seen water. Cold, wet, water. I have never for a moment worried about my cameras in it. This is pretty much the same thing only smaller.


How small? Outside measurements are - 9.25" long X 7.75" wide X 4.5" deep.


Make no mistake. It may say 'Armored Humidor Systems' on the top, but this is a Pelican. Even says so on the purge valve.



The latches while a bit different than it's bigger brother are gonna hold. They're tight!


Like any good Pelican, it has stupidly strong hinges and an o-ring in the lid.


It will hold 15 cigars up to 8" long, and won't be too crowded unless you start adding a bunch of them with more than a 52 rg. It holds them in three stacked trays, and under the bottom one is a couple 69% Humidipaks (though I may swap out for 65%). The system is so tightly sealed, that the Humidipaks should last quite some time.

Most of this comes at the cost of size. It's a bit larger than you're average 15 stick box. But it's all about overkill - nothing is going to happen to your sticks in there.
