Just a quick post on my satisfaction with my 5 count Cigar Caddy...I finally had the chance to take it for a float on the Comal last week and while it got completely soaked- the cigars, lighter and matches I placed inside were bone dry.
If anyone is looking for a travel humidor to take along on kayaking, toobing, rafting trips, etc- I'd definitely recommend one of these. :smiley20:
Actually, they seal so well, that when you get off a flight (and they're not in the cabin), you can't open it.
They usually have a deal running at CI where you get a 5er of smokes along with the caddy for 35 bucks or something.

I have 3x 15 counts and 2x 5 counts.
I think that says enough of what I think of them. :smi(ley4:
I have a 15 count one I am looking to break in at the end of the month for my annual fly fishing tourney. :smiley20:

Funny stuff...I took mine along on our last flight but placed it in my carry on. :smiley36: I've been doing some reading up on it, and it sounds like prying it open with a quarter will get it open if it's air locked? Anyone have to do this with a smaller one that doesn't have a release valve?Quote:

I need to get one of them, Last year I invested in the Craftmans Bench Scout.
Says it hold 20 cigars....NOPE. $35.00 piece of crap.
Cigar Caddys are inexpensive and good value for money. I'd rather have a case with a pressure release valve and better construction and materials, but those do cost quite a bit more (unless one had them already for other things :-).
There is/was a website that sold high-quality foam cut to replace the Cigar Caddy foam, but I have no recollection of the name, sorry.
In any case, disposable plastic food containers work just fine - as do small coolers, of course!
My wife got me a 30 count travel humidor for x'mas last year. It's very rugged and can even be locked and has a pressure release. It will definitely hold 30 cigars no matter the size.
I just ran upstairs to have a quick look at the brand name and searched it. The case she got me is the following:

I'm using it in June when we go south for our bi-annual trip through the pacific northwest.
Personally, I wouldn't have bought a 30 count if it had been me buying it for myself (a 15 would be plenty). But I won't complain. Even if I never fill it (and I might when I got on my annual 2 week hunting trip in November) it's nice to know I have the space if I need it.
I also have a 15 count. Works very well.
My Cigar buddy bought me the 50 count of that same xtreme case. I used it once so far, lol they thought it was a camera case at the airport.... haha to their surprise it was nothing but cigars! they made me remove all the padding(The glued stuff on the lid) to make sure I wasn't smuggling hehe
