What to look for in a case

[Cigarbear]

I'm thinking of something for carrying cigars to a party or the golf course. Not travelling but same day smoking. Size seems like the first concern. It should be cedar lined yes? Does the exterior make a difference beyond asthetics? All the ones I've seen thus far with humidification have what looks like foam humidifiers which seems a good idea to avoid.

An otter box is the way to go. They are a bit bulky but will keep your smokes safe and sound. I wouldn't worry about humidification unless you will be gone for several days.

I've looked at those before and they do seem rather bulky. I need to find a decent enough local B&M to check it out in person before I take the leap.

Thanks for tip!

A clock.. the case MUST have a clock. No self respecting cigar smoker would be seen without a clock in his case...

I have 2 Herf-a-dor travel boxes. A 5ct and a 15ct. They both keep cigars good for days without any humidifier. They are exactly the same as the otterbox, and price is about the same too.

I'm not sure if there are any otterbox combos. But you can go to Cigarbid or cigars international and get combos if you only need a 5ct box. 5 cigars(perdomo champagne or Monte media noche), 5ct box and a torch lighter. I got the monte combo.

For half day transit I use a semi rigid three finger case, with the rigidity being provided by shaped cedar inserts. I generally keep this in my coolerdoor with my cigars so the cedar is nicely sitting at the correct humidity. For longer trips I use a csonka traveller.
