    I picked up the 50 count one from Cheap Humidors for transporting my cigars when I fly in and out of Iraq this summer on leave. I'm going to use one of my Humi-Care humidifiers with the gel in it since I'll be transporting about 40 sticks.

    And noooooooo ...... there won't be any Cohiba's in there from Kuwait, none at all

    Good, 'cause Cohiba's come from Cuba. Ones from Kuwait will probably be fakes ...

    What bigwhiteash said. Cigars will stay for about a week in there without water. Don't use it for long term storage.

    Actually the Cohiba I picked up came from the Duty Free shop, and the stuff they sell are indeed real. My last time through Kuwait International on my way home on vacation I stopped and picked one up. They actually have smoking rooms (surprisingly) in the airport which is where I had mine. The Siglo IV is a really nice mild to medium cigar with a medium length peppery finish. Fantastic flavors of cedar and leather throughout, but the last third was a bit too much for my pallette then.

    I decided I shouldn't take it with me for fear of actually getting a "random" check going through Customs.

    There are a few I've had sent over here that I want to take home but it'll take me a week to get to Kuwait from Iraq. The civilians get bumped for military all the time so that's why I bought this one. I know it'll keep the RH up but the temps here in late June have me a bit concerned. We'll see what happens.

    Okay, I'll give you the duty-free at most (but not all) big airports . Search around the Internet and you'll find a site that reports on the validity of the cigars from various duty-free shops.
