The 8 Best Travel Cigar Cases of 2024 (Travel Humidors)

June 21, 2022 by Will Roby Leave a Comment

Here are my picks for the 3 best travel humidors for 2024:

• Best overall travel humidor: XIKAR 10 Count Cigar Humidor
• Best large travel humidor: Cigar Caddy 40
• Best small travel humidor: HF Leather Travel Humidor (5 Count)

I have fond memories of my dad going everywhere with a cigar in his pocket.

In fact, I keep his last cigar with me on my writing desk.

Here’s a photo of it.

This is the cigar he’d picked out the night before he died and put in his pocket for the next morning. I keep it here with me, wrapped up, to remind me of him. Typical for my dad, a very mild “session” type of cigar that he could enjoy absent-mindedly while doing the morning watering in the garden.

My dad never embraced much cigar tech. He didn’t care for fancy humidors or cigar lighters or whatever. He threw his sticks in his pocket, or in his briefcase or whatever, and just hit the road. I’m sure most of his cigars were worse for the wear.

But that’s how he liked to do it. He didn’t mind a cracked wrapper or a cigar with a little bend to it.

I didn’t inherit my dad’s distaste for humidors, travel cases, and cigar gadgets. If anything, I overcorrected in the other direction. My miscellaneous junk drawer is chock full of cigar toys I bought and didn’t ever adapt. But there they sit, collecting dust, probably embarrassing my dad in the afterlife.

One thing that’s never left the rotation is my travel humidor. I’m on the road probably 20 weeks a year, visiting friends and family, going on vacation, or meeting with people for business. As a man who likes to enjoy at least one nice cigar every day , being on the road means protecting my cigars as I jostle through airports, grind out a 10-hour drive, and unpack and repack my suitcase.

Whether you prefer sweet cigars or spicy Corojos , you need a travel case or two to take them on the go with you.

So many companies are making travel cigar cases, you can pretty much take your pick. Travel humidors come in all shapes and sizes, some with gadgets and gizmos aplenty, others more austere and sophisticated. You can buy a travel cigar case in every color of the rainbow, including the rainbow itself.

In this post, I’ve reviewed my 8 favorite travel cigar cases for 2024. They each have something interesting to offer those of us who like to travel with our favorite smokes. Those reviews are below. I’ve listed them alphabetically for the sake of fairness.

I’ve updated this post for 2024 in February. Please note that cigarzine.com is reader-supported, and if you buy anything through the links here, the site gets a commission.

Also, here’s a link to the travel humidors available at Gotham Cigars . They have a really limited selection. The individual cases listed in this post were available at Famous Smoke, which has a much broader selection. But, as a service to my gentle readers, I like to make it easy to shop around and compare prices.

Table of Contents

1 – Cigar Caddy 40

This is my pick for the best big travel cigar case. It’s airtight and waterproof up to 100 feet (just in case you were planning on snorkeling with your favorite stogies in tow).

All jokes aside, you can put up to 40 cigars in this case and they’ll be safer than any piece of luggage you’ve ever owned.

The case comes in two colors, black, and camo. I like the black one. It just looks cooler and more sophisticated. The case has everything you need – mainly humidification and several travel trays for organization and storage. The case is rigid and crushproof, and it has nicely-built locks that don’t have that cheap feel you sometimes find in budget cases.

You’ll need to let this product do some off-gassing before you start to use it. For whatever reason, part of the manufacturing process leaves behind a typical manufacturing smell. Opening the package and letting the product air out for a day or two will completely rid you of that odor.

This case retails for around $100, but I’ve seen it on sale online for around $96 . Look for sales and wait it out if you can’t find a lower price right away. It’s a wonderful case with excellent reviews that can hold enough cigars for several weeks of enjoyment on the road. Please understand that I check these prices manually, and they might have changed by the time you read this.

2 – Craftsman’s Bench Passport XL

Having a functional humidor with good craftsmanship that can slide right into the backseat or the trunk is a good idea for any cigar smoker. That’s what Craftsman’s Bench Passport XL is great at – protecting small numbers of cigars and being really user-friendly along the way.

This isn’t a humidor. It’s literally just for protecting your sticks. It does a great job at that, and it looks sleek. When I know I’m going to smoke a half-dozen or so cigars in a couple days while I’m on the road, I reach for this case.

I use my Bench Passport XL for quick trips. It holds up to 8 cigars depending on the size. It’s become my go-to car humidor for road trips of just a few hours. In a pinch, I could pack a weeks’ worth of cigars, so long as I rationed myself to just one a day. I don’t want to do it, but if I was pressed for space, I could pull it off.

I bought my Bench Passport XL on sale for around $37 . I’ve seen it in cigar shops for a little more. I’ve also seen it for sale online for a little less. Honestly, it’s a great product even if you pay retail at your local cigar store.

3 – Firebird Travel Humidor

Styled after protective cases for cameras, Firebird’s Travel Humidor is a small but mighty protector and humidor for your cigars that looks cool and won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

I love the blaze orange color. It stands out in my luggage, on the train, on the airplane, or just in the back of my car. The latches feel strong and secure. It holds up to 10 cigars depending on the ring gauge. It includes a humidification device, which is a must if you’re checking your cigars in baggage or if you’re going to be away from them for any period of time.

I brought my Firebird Travel Humidor on a cruise, and it was perfect. I was able to buy some really nice cigars during the cruise, but I wanted a supply of some of my favorites for personal use along the way. Even through all the changing humidity and temperatures and lots of jostling about, I didn’t have a single issue with my sticks on that trip.

The case retails for just under $40 . It’s a good buy at that price, but you probably don’t have to pay it. My local shop had one on sale for a little less the other day. I can also find it for sale online right now for under $30.

4 – HF Barcelona Leather Travel Humidor (5 Count)

Put a drop or two of distilled water in the humidifier and go. That’s the appeal of HF Barcelona’s Leather Travel Humidor, a five-count travel case that’s really just a tiny leather-bound humidor. It’s stylish, it’s a little bit fancy, and I love the sound of the magnetic clasp on the leather binding. It’s somewhere between a “thwack” and a “thwump,” and it sounds like a device that a rich guy would have. If that makes sense.

Sure, you can only store five sticks at a time in it. That limits its use cases for sure. But the small size and high durability also make it perfect for going on adventures. It would look great on the golf course, but you can also use it on your riding lawnmower. The leather case is durable, and mine has started to show some really nice wear.

It’s well-made, the tray is composed of fine okoume wood, and it’s just generally a beautiful piece. Makes for a great gift for a cigar lover. This case and a good cigar lighter are all you need to smoke on vacation.

While you may not be able to pack a week’s worth of cigars for a road trip or your airplane carry-on, it’s a good almost pocket-sized transport humidor, and people will admire the way it looks.

The price range here is really wide. The manufacturer sells it for more than $240. While the materials and craftsmanship absolutely justify that price, you don’t really need to be pay retail. I’ve seen resale websites offering it for around $125. But I bought mine on sale from Famous-Smoke for $55 . You just have to be patient and look around and find a discounted price.

5 – Orleans International 3 Cigar Humidor Tube

Not everything on my list is functional and made of aluminum. This Orleans International 3 Cigar Humidor Tube is covered in leather, styled to look like either crocodile or ostrich. It’s neat-looking and would go better with formal attire than a typical bland humidor tube.

Not only does this little guy include humidification, but it also has a built-in hygrometer so you can easily check the status of your cigars. Most of the cases on this list lack a hygrometer, but Orleans International has stuffed one into this little travel case. That’s impressive.

It’s 2 inches wide and 7 inches deep, so plan accordingly. If you like big stogies, you obviously won’t get three of them in here. If you’re storing panatelas or cigarillos, you’ll probably get way more than three inside.

Orleans International sells this 3-cigar humidor tube for about $40 retail. You can find it online for under $30 . It’s a good buy at either price, but I’d always prefer to pay less.

6 – Private Stash Travel Humidor

I’m not a huge fan of humidors that you’re meant to stuff into your luggage. I prefer standalone devices with their own lock, latch, or clasp system. But not every travel humidor is made that way.

My favorite of these packable cigar travel cases is the Private Stash Travel Humidor. I like the materials first and foremost. It’s made of mahogany and feels luxurious to the touch. The clasp is strong it’s never opened up on me during my travels. I can fit 18-20 Robustos and I know they’ll be perfectly safe and humidified in the bottom of my carry-on or zipped into my checked baggage.

I love the Spanish cedar lining, which produces that lovely cigar box smell we all know and love. It’s inexpensive, so perfect for people just dipping their toe into the pool of cigar gadgetry. The 7-inch width means most cigar formats will fit, even if you can only get a few of them inside.

I bought my Private Stash Travel Humidor for under $20 at Famous-Smoke during a sale . I think the manufacturer charges about $30 retail. I sometimes see this brand in cigar shops, though the price is usually closer to retail than the sale price.

7 – XIKAR 10 Count Cigar Humidor

Here it is – my overall favorite cigar travel case for 2024. XIKAR’s 10-count Cigar Humidor.

XIKAR is probably the top brand in this space. You’ve seen these cases all over the place. They probably sell them in your local cigar shop. I see them all the time traveling for business, in airports and in checked bags, and everywhere else.

Put simply, these cases feel the most secure, with strong clasps, and materials that feel substantial and heavy to the touch. The 8.5-inch width is larger than a lot of travel cases, so our friends who like big cigars can store their stogies in peace.

The only thing missing is a humidification device. That’s not what this case is all about. You can absolutely add your own aftermarket product to help humidify your sticks, but this case is more about protection during travel, not long-term storage.

This case is $50 retail. I have found it on sale online for like $45 or so . Not a lot of discounts on products like this that represent the market standard. If you find a better price, let me know in the comments.

8- San Antonio Cigar Case

This one just came to my attention in February 2024, and it’s a beauty — especially for such an affordable price. ($50 as I write this.) The San Antonio Cigar Case holds 4 large cigars, includes Spanish cedar, and it’s all wrapped up in leather. You can check out the latest price on Amazon by clicking here .

• Humidor Capacity 5 Humidor capacity equals the number of cigars that can fit in the humidor. Since cigars vary significantly in size and shape, we use Churchill sized cigars (7" x 50) when calculating humidor capacity. Remember capacity is the MAXIMUM of cigars that can fit in the humidor. For better air & humidity circulation, we recommend to not fill your humidor more than 75% of its capacity.
• Accessories Packaging None
• External Dimension 8"1/2L x 4"1/2W x 2"H Width, Depth and height of the humidor box, useful to plan for the perfect location for your humidor.
• Cedar Lining No Cedar has been used for many centuries in boats and in high-humidity environments, as it is famous for staying flat and not warping under high humidity conditions. All cedar humidors are rare because of how costly this wood is, however, most humidors come with a cedar lining. This is a thin, flat piece of cedar placed inside of the humidor to help maintain humidity and to maintain a tight seal when opening the humidor.

A commercial grade humidor can stock up to 3,000 cigars and is great for collectors and aficionados.
• Humidor Brand Xikar Based in Kansas City, Missouri, Xikar is considered one of the top producers of cigar cutters, lighters and other cigar accessories. They also produce a wide range of travel humidors that meet the needs of aficionados on the go.
• Glass Top No Glass top humidors allow you to check the cigars without opening it and therefore avoiding a humidity drop. Do not place your glass top humidor under bright lights or direct sunlight as cigars prefer the darkness.
• Humidifier Yes The humidifier is the part that will maintain the humidity level in your humidor. Most of the humidors comes with so called "green foam" humidification systems. While it's the most commun humidification system, it works only one way by increasing humidity level but will not lower humidity if necessary. We recommend to update to the latest technologies like the crystals, gel or beads that work both ways and really help maintain 70% humidity in your humidor.
• Hygrometer None Hygrometers are used to measure the humidity inside your humidor and make sure your cigars are safe at 70% humidity. There are different types: Analog, digital, external, internal, or built-in. Remember to always calibrate your hygrometer before use to make sure the reading is correct.

Your travel humidor questions answered.

A travel humidor is a portable cigar box perfect for cigar enthusiasts who travel often and want to bring their finest smokes without compromising their quality. On the Northwoods Humidors website, you'll find anything from a standard 5-cigar travel humidor to a travel cigar humidor that can hold as many as 60 cigars at any one time.

What is a Travel Humidor?

A travel humidor is a compact and portable cigar storage solution with a humidification system perfectly designed to preserve the quality of your cigars while away from home. Travel humidors can be as small as a tiny 3-cigar container that can fit in your pocket to a small briefcase that can comfortably fit a few dozen cigars from your collection. They're the perfect solution for cigar smokers who want to bring their cigars with them while away without exposing them to suboptimal humidity levels.

How to Choose the Best Travel Humidor?

When trying to decide upon a cigar humidor travel case, there are a handful of things that you need to consider, including:

• How long you're going away for
• How many cigars you want to bring with you
• The quality of cigars you're bringing with you
• What the humidity is like at the place you're going to
• How big of a travel humidor cigar case can you bring with you

Once you have an answer for those, it will be much easier to make a decision when browsing through travel cigar humidors on the Northwoods Humidors website.

Benefits of a Travel Humidor

Not sure whether a travel humidor is worth it for you? Let's have a look at some of their benefits.

It's Small, Strong, and Portable

The biggest benefit of buying traveling cigar humidors is that they are ultra-compact, have a rugged structure, and are not a hassle to bring anywhere you go. This is very much the case regardless if you buy a 10-cigar travel humidor or a cigar travel case humidor that can hold dozens of cigars simultaneously.

The Quality of Your Cigars Won't Be Affected During the Trip

Taking your cigars out of your humidor for just a few hours may negatively impact their flavor and aroma because cigars can quickly lose their moisture outside of a humidor. That's why investing in a small cigar humidor travel case is highly recommended if you plan on going away and want to bring some of your favorite cigars with you.

How Long Do Cigars Stay Fresh in a Travel Humidor?

Travel humidors work just like normal humidor cabinets . The only difference is that they are significantly smaller and more compact, which makes them more convenient to carry when traveling.

Just like when using an electric cigar humidor , what will determine the length of time you can store your cigars in a travel humidor is the quality of the humidor itself and the initial quality of the cigar. If you're planning on bringing a few cigars that aren't anything special, almost any travel humidor with an airtight seal will keep them fresh for the duration of your trip.

However, if you plan on bringing some premium cigars or are going away for a longer period of time, investing in a high-quality cigar travel humidor case is essential. Those can keep your premium cigars fresh for months and sometimes years.

Best Travel Humidors To Buy Online

Below you can peruse our selection of the best tried and tested wooden humidors that are currently available on the online market.

1. CiTree Travel Humidor [Leather Humidor]

• Country Of Origin:  China
• Type:  Travel Humidor
• Lining: Spanish Cedar
• Finish: Leather
• Hygrometer: No
• Humidifier: No
• Price:  $69.99 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

Marked by its refined leather-clad exterior, the CiTree Travel Humidor is an ideal choice if you’re looking for a cigar case to take with you to the golf course, your local cigar lounge, or other social events.

Lined entirely with Spanish Cedar on the inside, it can be seasoned just as you would the humidor at home. This ensures that the cigars you carry along remain in optimal smoking condition. In addition to this, it also employs an individual leather pouch for securing your humidity pack inside the humidor.

Priced right at $70, the CiTree humidor includes both a metal cigar cutter and a triple-jet lighter, both of which are designed to be stored in their individual leather pockets. All in all, this is an excellent travel humidor for your cigars if what you need is a fashionable case in which to carry the cigars you’ll smoke in a single session.

2. Boveda One-Year Humidor Bag [Budget Travel Humidor]

• Country Of Origin:  USA
• Type:  Humidor Bag
• Lining: Barrier Laminated Plastic
• Finish:  None
• Humidifier: Yes
• Count:  Small [4], Medium [20], Large [60]
• Price:  $7 – $15 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

While not strictly a travel humidor, Boveda’s humidor bags are very versatile indeed. The small version can contain three or four cigars, while we’ve managed to squeeze several boxes in the larger ones.

Indeed, these don’t offer much in the way of protection. However, either fit an entire cigar box in a large bag or even place a smaller bag in another container. As they come with Boveda packs, they’re fully equipped and can provide a year’s worth of humidity if used correctly.

We regularly rely on Boveda’s humidity packs as reliable and cheap storage. As such, we can’t rate them enough!

• Best Small Humidors

3. Davidoff Travel Humidor [Luxury Travel Humidor]

• Country Of Origin:  Italy
• Lining: None
• Finish:  Fabric & Leather
• Price:  $280 [ Buy From Davidoff ]

Davidoff’s lavish Italian-made travel humidor is constructed from knitted Jacquard fabric and leather that is welded together for an airtight seal. A pull-out tray is designed with a flexible wave design to protect each cigar while a hidden magnetic clasp seals it shut.

Davidoff travel humidors used to be supplied with their own humidity packs, though there have since been replaced by Boveda packs. The above one pictured is a limited Churchill edition, but there are plenty of other designs available.

You can read more about it with our full, detailed review of the Davidoff travel humidor .

4. Colibri Explorer [Premium Travel Case]

• Country Of Origin:  Unknown
• Lining: Leather
• Finish: Saffiano Leather
• Price:  $290 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

A more reasonably-sized luxury travel humidor, the Colibri Explorer offers a superior seal than the more affordable Lagute below. Capable of holding up to 12 Churchill cigars, it is made from Saffiano leather.

5. Lagute Travel Humidor [Elegant & Affordable]

• Finish:  Leather
• Price:  $45 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

If you’re planning to attend an event where you’ll be smoking cigars, the Lagute Goucho is an excellent accessory. Unlike other travel humidors, it’s very elegant with its leather exterior and cedar wood lining.

However, this isn’t ideal for storage over a long period of time. Firstly, it’s limited to only 6 cigars, which isn’t very many. While the zipper and seal on this are better than most leather cases, they aren’t airtight, so some moisture will escape over time.

6. Xikar 50-80 [Largest Travel Humidor]

• Lining: Foam
• Finish:  ABS Moulded Plastic
• Hygrometer: Yes
• Count:  50 – 80
• Price:  $70 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

If you’re looking to transport a large quantity of cigars, Xikar’s 50-80 travel humidor is an excellent choice. Crushproof and airtight, the high-density urethane foam carefully protects your cigars.

We’d throw out the foam humidifier supplied with this and replace it with a few 60g Boveda packs . Remember to use one for every 25 cigar capacities, as mentioned above. Otherwise, this is probably the best heavy-duty travel humidor for large quantities.

7. Cigar Caddy 3540 [Versatile Travel Humidor]

• $38.95 [ Buy On Mike’s Cigars ]
• $39.95 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

One of the most common travel humidor designs that was popularised by Herf-a-dor, Cigar Caddy is probably one of the most reliable today. With its airtight seal, it floats on water but is still waterproof up to 100 feet.

We would recommend this larger one that can contain 15 Churchill cigars, as the smaller models provide less versatility in terms of storage. Furthermore, we don’t use the supplied humidifier but rely on Boveda packs instead.

8. Amancy Leather [Affordable Travel Humidor]

• Lining:  Cedar
• Finish: Genuine Leather
• Hygrometer: Analogue
• Count:  3 – 5
• Price:  $23 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

This is another great travel humidor for attending events. It offers a great seal and its cedar lining absorbs some moisture for long-term performance. However, we’re not sure if it’s Spanish cedar, so don’t expect the same benefits.

While it can contain up to 5 cigars, this largely depends on the vitola. We find that it’s complicated with larger-gauge cigars, and you’ll probably only fit two or three cigars above 50 RG.

We also threw out the foam humidifier and just used Boveda packs. This also helps cushion the cigars and prevent them from rolling around inside the tube.

This is also the only travel humidor with a hygrometer. While the analogue hygrometer isn’t going to be very accurate, it’s still a nice decorative touch and gives you a fair idea when calibrated.

Why Buy A Travel Humidor For Your Cigars?

Therefore, they’re not for long-term storage but for short periods of transit or stays away from home. Nevertheless, travel humidors aren’t exclusive to jet setters and can be an invaluable tool for even the shortest trips.

For instance, if you’re heading out and want to take some cigars with you, they offer the best protection and environment for your cigars. While small cases tend to be quite attractive, travel humidors are more robust and will provide more space.

Whether you’re heading to an event, seeing some friends, or you’re even buying cigars from a shop, they’re a great way to transport them safely. As such, travel humidors are a truly handy accessory for every cigar enthusiast.

Cigar Travel Humidor Benefits

Firstly, they need to offer an airtight seal so the necessary interior environment can be created. If they’re not airtight, they won’t retain the moisture provided by your humidifier of choice.

Furthermore, the humidor should be made from lightweight materials that are easy to carry. Yet, the materials need to be robust enough to resist shocks or being crushed.

Similarly, superior travel humidors are not only extremely crush-proof but also waterproof. After all, you never know what could happen when travelling, and it’s certainly a reassuring feature if you’re heading out to the beach.

All travel humidors should have strong latches to prevent accidental openings when carried or in your luggage. Meanwhile, some larger quality humidors will also feature locking mechanisms with combinations or a key so they can be securely stored without fear of wandering sticks.

Finally, some of the better, more advanced travel humidors will feature safety valves for air travel. Given that you may be leaving them in your checked luggage, you can open the valve beforehand to avoid the box breaking under low pressure.

As such, they tend to underperform and are really only viable if you intend to smoke the cigars sooner rather than later. However, this doesn’t necessarily speak for all travel humidors as there are some good ones on the market. Just make sure that you’re buying quality rather than an attractive design or low price.

Another common issue among travel humidors is that they tend to offer little storage space compared to their size. Unfortunately, this is partly out of necessity.

The majority of travel humidors are filled with Ester, Polyethylene, or Pro-Cell foam to secure and cushion the cigars. However, this is a double-edged sword as it leaves little space is left for the cigars themselves, let alone the humidifier or hygrometer!

Nevertheless, the foam has an important function in that it prevents the cigars from being loose inside the container, which could cause them to damage one another.

Still, this may sometimes result in not having enough space for your cigars. Consequently, people may try to overfill their travel humidors, we could actually crush them from the inside!

Buying A Travel Humidor: What To Look

When looking for a travel humidor, consider reading some of our tips to make sure that you buy the right one to suit your needs.

Consider Alternatives

As they’re available in a number of different sizes, you can store as little as a few cigars to even a couple of boxes in a single bag. When travelling with entire boxes, you can easily slip these into a larger bag, which is perfectly secure in itself.

However, if you just have a few cigars, simply put them in a smaller bag and then place the bag itself in a harder box for protection. Not only is this perfectly sufficient, but it offers a better environment for your cigars than most travel humidors .

Finally, despite their appearance, Boveda bags aren’t simply branded ziplock bags with an included Boveda pack. In fact, they’re made from barrier-laminated plastic with an airtight enclosure. Meanwhile, regular ziplock bags do lose moisture over time and aren’t as reliable as we like to think.

Otherwise, you could even consider a small tupperdor for travelling . While less attractive, it’s certainly cheaper and more effective than the majority of travel humidors on the market.

Inspect The Seal & Latches

The best way to do this is by simply throwing in a humidifier with a hygrometer and closing it. Once set up, periodically check the humidity to see whether it’s consistent. If it’s too low or fluctuates, then you likely have a leak.

Of course, the humidifier may be over-performing in order to compensate for the leak, and you may not notice a drop in relative humidity. Therefore, the best way to do this is over a long period of time as we did with ours.

If it retains water, then there’s a good chance that it also holds air.

Finally, the quickest and easiest way to check the seals is by closing it and giving it a squeeze if made from ABS moulded plastic. If it hisses when squeezed, then it’ll likely leak air even when under no pressure.

Finally, consider checking the latches as well as the seals. Some cheaper travel humidors come with loose or weak latches that break. If the latches are unreliable, there’s a high chance that the humidor could pop open and expose the cigars.

Check The Foam Type

• Ester: Probably the best foam for cigars, Ester offers an excellent cushion that protects delicate objects that can break under impact. Its cushioning is flexible and can store irregular-shaped objects.
• Polythylene:  Absorbs more shock than Ester and is made for heavier objects, PE is a great foam for most uses.
• Pro-Cell:  With its refined finish, Pro-Cell is better for displays. It’s more delicate than the other foams but is surprisingly dense.

There are also different cuts and shapes to the foam. You can opt for foams that have a flat finish, which is generally better for smaller, flatter humidors. Otherwise, there is also the convoluted, egg-crate-shaped foam that offers better protection.

Some travel humidors may actually have piped foam to give you a pre-shaped space for placing your cigars.

Use A Quality Humidifier

Your choice of humidifier for travelling will need to fulfil three requirements:

• Compact size
• Two-Way Humidity
• Low Chance Of leakage

Firstly, the humidifier needs to be compact because of the small space available. As mentioned above, there is usually little space for the cigars themselves, so a chunk humidifier may take up too much.

Meanwhile, traditional humidification devices are usually charged with liquid, whether they’re based on gels, beads or foam. As such, they may have a tendency to leak all over your cigars.

Last but not least, most of these traditional devices offer only one-way humidification. This means that they continually release moisture close to them, which doesn’t diffuse. This can easily cause over-humidification in such a small and, hopefully, airtight space.

As such, two-way humidification ensures that excess moisture is absorbed when the humidity goes over a certain level. Meanwhile, it will diffuse it only when necessary.

CiTree Travel Humidor

For all the reasons mentioned above, we largely favour Boveda’s humidity packs. Not only do they come in more modest sizes for travel humidors, but they are also completely hassle-free. Their membrane lining is very hard-wearing and resistant to breaking, and the packs provide two-way humidity control.

Their small  8g Boveda humidity packs  are conveniently sized and provide enough humidity for 5 to 10 cigars. However, we tend to go for the typical 60g humidity packs as they’re still relatively small and tend to offer the best performance and value for money.

Buy Larger Than Necessary

Finally, we’ve already mentioned several times that travel humidors have a deceptively small storage capacity compared to their size. As such, it’s always worth keeping this in mind when buying your travel humidor.

Firstly, their labelled count capacity may refer to smaller vitolas than you’re intending to carry. It’s quite disappointing to find that your case can only carry 5 robustos when you want to transport 6 Churchills!

Secondly, you may only want to carry a few with you when buying the humidor. However, you may want to carry even more in the future. Unless you’re planning to buy a different travel humidor for every possible scenario, consider buying one that can contain more than you need.

Finally, care should be taken not to overfill a travel humidor. If you compress the foam too tightly, it will absorb shock but put the cigars under unnecessary pressure. An overfilled travel humidor may even crush the cigars if you’re not careful!

Travel Humidor Preparation & Maintenance

Unless made from cedar, which will require seasoning , travel humidors are generally very low maintenance.

Our only advice would be to place your humidifier inside the humidor for a short time before placing the cigars. This ensures that the environment is well-prepared and that the foam can absorb any humidity if necessary.

This Xikar travel humidor is great for those looking for a basic storage and transportation option. Most importantly, your cigars will remain fresh and protected while you travel. But we also love that this can hold the larger sized Churchill’s too.

The drawbacks are that there are no slots, simply an egg carton foam liner. But this setup works well if you are looking for more flexibility in your sizing.

It also includes a humidifier and siphon, which makes it a great travel set, as well as a longer term storage and transport option

Which is why we think this option makes for a great gift option too. Especially since it has everything you need as a gift set, including a cutter and lighter. But make a note that the lighter does not come with butane to make shipping easier.

On top of that, the built in hygrometer and humidifier make it simple to keep your cigars at peak freshness during your adventure.

If you’re looking to travel with a higher quantity of cigars, however, you’ll want to check out one of our larger capacity recommendations.

And it’s just a great quality and good looking.

The drawbacks are that this case is not going to keep your cigars as fresh as our other cases that are airtight or have humidors. It also only holds a capacity of 6.5″ cigars and a ring gauge of 52. So make sure that this will hold your desired type of cigar beforehand as well.

Note: the lighter does not come with butane to make shipping easier. So be sure to add that when it arrives.

• Waterproof, shockproof, and airtight
• Includes: humidor, cigar stand, cutter

Questions About Travel Humidors for Cigars

How much do humidors cost.

You can get a travel humidor for starting around $20, but as you go up in size and quality you can spend $50 or more. Our top picks of cigar humidors for travel includes a variety of price points to fit exactly what you’re looking for.

How do you use a travel humidor?

A travel humidor helps to maintain the freshness and flavor of cigars by maintaining an ideal humidity level.

The cigar humidor will have a sealable lid that helps to regulate the level of humidity inside, plus a lining of moisture-absorbing material, such as sponge or foam, which can be moistened to maintain the ideal level of humidity around 70%. This usually involves using an eye dropper to add a few drops of distilled water.

Some travel humidors also come equipped with a hygrometer for measuring the humidity level, ensuring that cigars are stored in the optimal conditions at all times.

This makes a travel humidor a must-have accessory for cigar enthusiasts, even when they’re traveling.

How often do you refill a humidor humidifier?

Usually you only need to refill the humidifier every few months if you’re keeping your humidor in good shape. However, the frequency you need to refill your cigar humidor’s humidifier depends on a few things, like the size of your humidor, the weather, and how many cigars you’ve got stored inside.

But, if it’s super dry outside, you may need to refill more often. Smaller humidors usually need to be refreshed more often as well.

The best way to know when it’s time is to keep an eye on the humidity levels inside using a hygrometer. If it drops below your desired level, it’s time for a refill.

How long should you let new cigars rest in a humidor?

Looking at those beautiful, oily cigars you’ve just unboxed or unwrapped, the calling to light up is real. I get it. I always want to smoke my cigars right away, too. But you shouldn’t. Mail day is always exciting after you’ve ordered a slew of new cigars. When they arrive, the real fun begins. You’ll probably need to organize your humidor to make the new sticks fit or arrange them for optimal humidification. As you’re handling them, it’s difficult to resist the temptation to crack open the cellophane or boxes and smoke one right away. While you can do that in most cases, I would recommend against it. Depending on where those cigars came from , where you live, and how they traveled, they might need a little time to rest in a humidor. They’ll need to replenish some humidity and moisture or dry out a little.

How long should you let your new cigars rest?

Humidity affects flavor and the smoking experience, what about cigars from a cigar shop or local b&m, how do i store cigars when i travel.

When you put cigars in a humidor, especially one that’s filled, they’ll soak up and release humidity over time until they reach the average RH (relative humidity) that you have set inside your humidor. If you have a device like a that does this automatically, it will produce moisture and humidity to keep the levels optimal. You can also achieve the same thing with in smaller humidors, which release and soak up the humidity to match the levels on the label. Boveda packs come in a range of RH levels, from the low to mid-60s to the mid-70s.

For that reason, you always want to put your new cigars in your humidor and let them sit for a while so that the humidity levels are optimal; this is called resting. The rule of thumb is to leave them for a minimum of 30 days, with some experts recommending up to a few months of rest before you crack open your new cigars. I live in Florida, where it’s already humid, so I rarely have to let mine sit that long, depending on where I order my new batches. That being said, not every climate is the same, and in somewhere like Arizona, where it’s dry and hot, cigars may require a longer resting period if they’re shipped to you.

• How do cigars make you feel? My experience as a cigar smoker

If you’re opening the boxes or a wrapped bundle to organize your humidor, that’s different. That’s fine; just don’t smoke them for at least a week — a longer rest is better, though.

Some cigars come shipped with Boveda and humidity packs inside the box. That’s not always the case, but when it is, you’re probably okay smoking one out of the batch as soon as you get them.

Cigars that are too humid or dry won’t burn correctly. Not only that but also they’ll burn a little hotter by the head of the cigar, where you place your mouth. That can make for an uncomfortable experience, even more so when you factor in the influence that has on flavor. The natural oils and sugars of a cigar require moisture; without them, the smoking experience will be no bueno. It kills the nuanced flavor. That’s why you should keep your cigars in a humidor if you’re not smoking them immediately.

Most cigar shops and lounges keep their cigars in a well-maintained humidor, which means they’re safe to smoke right off the shelf. There are exceptions, of course. If you buy from somewhere with a poorly maintained humidor, the cigars are probably either too dry or humid. You’ll know almost immediately after you light the cigar. If it burns hotter than usual, there’s perhaps a humidity problem.

You can rehydrate them , but if you just bought them, I wouldn’t even bother. Ask the shop for an exchange or a refund. If you have the opposite problem, and they’re too humid — you’ll know because they’ll be extra squishy — leave them out of the humidor to dry out for a little bit.

If you buy a bunch of cigars at a shop and take them home to smoke later, you’ll want to put them in your humidor. As long as they’re stored properly, they should be good to smoke whenever you’re ready.

If you’re traveling for vacation, like going on a cruise or taking a trip somewhere, you’ll want to follow the same storage process, albeit with a smaller humidor. There are made of leather and hard cases called . If they have built-in humidification systems, like the Herf-a-dors, which have a little sponge, you can refill them with distilled water, or you can toss in a Boveda pack.

I use both types of travel cigar cases. I’ll put a handful of cigars in a leather or soft case for quick trips to visit family and friends. If I’m going on a cruise or flying somewhere, I’ll toss a bunch in my Herf-a-dor because they benefit from the added protection. There’s nothing worse than opening your case and finding a bunch of crushed and damaged cigars.

That’s all for now. I certainly hope these cigar guides help a little!

Hammer + Sickle Moscow City Series | Cigar Review

By The Katman on September 23, 2014 • ( 3 )

Today we take a look at the Hammer + Sickle Moscow City Series.

There are three sizes: Petite Robusto, Robusto Extra 5.5 x 54, and Double Robusto 6.25 x 56. The cigars are blended by Henke Kelner of Davidoff.

The cigars are everywhere online and appear to be price controlled.

There are six different blends: Moscow City Series, Berlin Wall Series, Hermitage No.1, Icon, Tradicion Serie, and Tver(Available only in Texas).

From Hammer + Sickle Cigars web site: “Crafted at the famed TabaDom manufactory, Moscow City boasts a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, meaning it is Connecticut grown and uses Connecticut seed. We have painstakingly awaited the natural fermentation process of aging to create this premium cigar. “Only a select group of cigars on the market use this wrapper, which is both rare and high-end. It proves to be challenging to work with, yet delivers a maduro taste that is both unmistakable and unrivaled. The initial sweet taste of a Moscow City cigar emanates from the Connecticut seed, but once lit becomes rich and nutty, resulting in a smoke that is full in body and flavor.”

From NH Cigars: “The Moscow City cigars are limited to only 400 boxes worldwide and we are one of the first to offer these fine cigars. I know the name sounds kind of different because it’s not named after some Spanish Conquistador, or a name that you can’t even pronounce, but trust us folks this cigar is truly a legend already. The Moscow City cigars have a well-aged maduro broad-leaf wrapper that is wrapped around a peppery secret blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican ligero long-fillers. The burn and draw on these hot rods are outstanding. The Cigar box is made up of metal that will make a perfect conversation piece.”

The cigar has a nice looking milk chocolate wrapper with plenty of oil. The wrapper is very smooth to the touch. Seams are tight. Lots of small veins. A gorgeous triple cap.

I clip the cap and find aromas of cocoa, hazelnut, strong earthiness, enough spice to make me sneeze three times in succession, and oak. Time to light up.

The Hammer + Sickle Moscow City Series is screaming flavors. It is 5 minutes away from being a flavor bomb.

These cigars don’t need extensive humidor aging. In fact, I’ve only had them a few days. And this stick smokes like it has been aged for months.

The strength starts out at high medium bodied. In a few moments, it should hit medium/full. And I have no doubt it will hit the advertised full body.

Char line is on the money.

I can taste Granny Smith apples. That tart green skin with the slightly acidic/sweet flavor. The apple flavor literally soars.

This is damn fine cigar. Is it a mini-Davidoff? Don’t know. I think I’ve smoked half a dozen Davidoffs in my life and I can’t remember a whit about them. Too damn expensive for the working stiff.

And the cigar hits flavor bomb status.

I am about to begin the second third.

The Hammer + Sickle Moscow City Series has an interesting tobacco flavor. It is intense and painted in broad strokes. It is rich and full flavored. Sometimes, we forget about the actual taste of the tobacco and concentrate only on the foo foo flavors.

The price point. Worth every dime. A perfect example of water seeking its own level by matching a fine cigar with a fair price.

The flavors are: Spice, creaminess, chocolate, nuts, oak, molasses, honey, caramel, green apple, cedar, and leather. Not to mention a rich earthiness.

There is perfect balance. Not a single flavor, except for the heady spiciness, outdoes the other. Picking the order of flavors was near impossible. Each has its place in the puzzle.

Just as I write the above, the Hammer + Sickle Moscow City Series runs rampant in the streets. Flavors explode. The creaminess and cocoa are so intense, I grab a Diet Coke for my egg cream experience. The green apple is right behind. There are raisins now. Completing the fruity portion of this program.

Coffee appears in the form of caramel macchiato. With little chocolate sprinkles. The honey element is strong. Man, damn fine cigar!

I cannot wait to introduce you to the Berlin Wall Series and the Tradicion.

I still have 2-1/2” to go and that makes me happy. The cigar is so jam packed that it is a very slow smoke. I’ve invested 45 minutes into the first 2-1/4”.

Construction is impeccable. No issues from the wrapper. The cap is sturdy. And the char line is dead nuts. I can’t get enough of this cigar.

I begin the halfway mark.

Kelner did a spectacular job. And because of his name alone being associated with the line of cigars, they could have been in the double digit price range. So kudos to Hammer + Sickle for keeping it real, babies.

We are now in uber super-duper flavor bomb status. There is no place it can go from here. The Hammer + Sickle Moscow City Series has one of the most intense flavor profiles I’ve ever tasted.

The strength becomes full bodied. My brain begins to swim like a sea of swarming simbas.

I have the biggest smile on my puss right now. I want more. I smoked the other one last night which brought me to this review. So now I am out of this blend. I would love to get my hands on at least a 5 pack.

Don’t fuck around. Grab that sampler of 6 cigars, from Thompson, before they disappear. At $3.33 per stick, that’s $4-$5 off per stick. It will give you a good idea of which blend you prefer.

The Hammer + Sickle Moscow City Series is as close to a perfect cigar as they come. Of course, that’s my opinion. You may have another. But the fact that it was basically a flavor bomb from the start and the rich earthiness that accompanies it makes it a real experience. This ain’t no yard ‘gar. It is for the experienced palate.

I will review either the Berlin Wall or the Tradicion this week. I smoked a Berlin Wall that was a gift a few days ago. But it was one of the last sticks of the day so while I thoroughly enjoyed it, I missed out on the nuances.

And this blend is chock full of nuance and balance with a mighty long finish.

The flavors are so potent, my palate is in overload. Flavor elements have mellowed a bit but still very definable. So far, the nicotine has been mild.

There is a limited supply of these cigars. And they have mostly flown under the radar. Not much of a PR machine. But that is OK for those of us that have discovered them.

One last time: Creaminess, cocoa, spice, green apple, molasses, honey, sweet cedar, coffee, nuts, caramel, leather, earthiness, and oak.

The Hammer + Sickle Moscow City Series finishes out beautifully. Not a bit of harshness or heat. All flavors intact. But the nicotine level has risen dramatically. I put on my crash helmet so no worries.

Cigar Review: Hammer + Sickle Moscow City

Initial thoughts:.

The first draw on the Hammer + Sickle Moscow City Toro was every easy and with almost no resistance. The flavors are leafy and… something I can't quite place, something like a cleaning chemical.

The wrapper is dark and dry. After smoking about one-third of the cigar, the flavors are about the same, and I don't love them.

The draw is easy, the taste is a little harsh, but the burn is pretty consistent. I suspect this cigar needs another year in the humidor to age.

CigarScore:

Brand: Hammer + Sickle Line: Moscow City Size: 6 1/2 x 50 Cut: Punch Light: Matches Price: $11.29 Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Binder: Dominican Republic Filler: Dominican Republic, United States

Final Thoughts:

I didn't like the Hammer + Sickle Moscow City. The flavors weren't great, and I was ready to finish it about half way through. The cigar's burn was even and the draw was consistent, no rough patches, but overall the Hammer + Sickle Moscow City was unimpressive.

For the price, I would've liked a cigar with more and better flavors and that didn't taste like it was fresh from the grass fields. I give the Hammer + Sickle Moscow City a CigarScore of 2 for these reasons and because I would not smoke this cigar again.
