Do any of you use a cigar case?

[FNA]

Why carry one when you could carry two?

Too bad you want it to look good - for one cigar I would buy a Churchill in aluminum tubo and re-use the tube.

Believe it or not, dropped 3 finger & 2 finger case while riding the bike last year. 3-finger was nice heavy leather that I had for years.

Herf-a-dors and caddies don't count as 'carry cases' for me since they are really not made for carrying on one's person. I heartily endorse them for weekends tho'.

Anybody see Hansotia's wallet style case Gurkha was selling with 3 G3 cigars? Nice slim-line design, one piece as opposed to telescopers. Doesn't disturb drape of jacket as much.

I reccomend however the alligator-hide buffalo-horn case 4-finger widely available. Cedar lined too.

Best thing about 1 & 2 finger metal cases is that you can carry them in your pants pocket.

During the week I wear a jacket so I have no problem carry a cigar case. What do you do with even a plain leather 3 finger slip case on the weekends?

I'm with Squid on this one. I used to carry a 3-finger tube, but since I've gotten the single layer 10 stick carrier, I've stopped carrying the tube. I like having the variety. It's easy enough to carry in a messenger bag or just on it's own.

I love my Griffin's 2-cigar, carbon fiber case. It's tough as Hell and light weight.... And believe it or not, ot keeps the cigars fresh. It will telescope from a robusto/ to a double corona.

I also like the Le Tube 3 finger case for when I'm on the bike or need something smaller. It retracts, it's simple and easy.

Le Tube III Travel Case for 3 Cigars

I have 2 Cigar Caddy 10 ct cases: Cigar Caddy 10 Stick Count Travel Humidor

They seem to work very well for me. I've traveled all over with them. The hard shell makes it nice so nothing gets crunched. And, the water proof seal makes it great for when I take them to the lake... ( i sound like a commercial).

Anyway.. that's what i use.

Lucienne 8 1/4" S/S Cigar Holder with Flask
The best of both worlds?

I have a 3 finger leather case I picked up off of c-bid of like 9$ works great.

I also bought a Perdomo ESV '91 Maestro Tubo and use the beautiful Tube as a single cigar holder. It has a piece of cedar lining it and looks sharp to boot. Smoking the Maestro didn't hurt my feelings either as it is a quite nice cigar.

I also have a 15 count otter box and have used the ziplock baggie to good effect as well. Good luck with your search.

I think I got the same case. Works great for me too. The only downside, is sometimes it's hard to hold larger ring gauge cigars without tearing the foot up a little when sliding them in. Have to be careful, almost wrecked a few Oliva V's before I noticed my stupidity. However, the case does serve a purpose, to protect cigars, and it does do a wonderful job at that. Great for the golf course, or someplace where the thicker leather is a bonus.

I picked up a 3 finger italian leather case from a luggage store many many moons ago before all the great internet store options. It worked out great, however, it was a little wide for my front coat pocket at times (something you may want to consider if you don't use a bag or briefcase everyday).

I grabbed a great 2 finger leather case from cuban crafters about a year and a half ago that I carry about 5 times a week and it's perfect.

Good luck with the hunt.

Xikar Xikar and Xikar. They have 5, 3 and single cases. I have a 'three' case - they are leather and cedar lined, beautiful.

[Cigar Man Andy]

I have a two, three and four finger cases. Usually , I carry a three finger. Never know what I'll be smoking. And for the long days, I have a 20ct travel humi.


NEVER ENOUGH!

Quick question from a guy who is interested in purchasing a carrier...

Do the cedar lined holders need to be kept humidified so they don't dry out your sticks? I'm wondering if it acts like the cedar in your humidor?

[jfox520]

Yes mine does so about a week before I use I put in a tube of beads.
