Taking cigars on holiday

[isimpson]

I am off to Turkey next week and have heard the smokes are quite expensive.
So what is the best way to take some of my own, should I just put them in a box and then in a ziploc bag?
Or should I also put some kind of credo in there?
I have some oasis foam so I could put some water on that to try and keep them moist for the week.

Any suggestions?

Otterbox (CigarCaddy)...... if you don't have one of them use a piece of Tupperware.... just make sure the cigars can't move around (bubble wrap)..... as for humididty..... if you don't have beads you could use a small piece of sponge..... just make sure it doesn't touch the cigars..... glue it to the top of the box

You can try a travel humidor...

or like BKC mentioned get a rectangular tupperwear box with some kind of cushioning. If you're going for an extended period of time, I'd go to your tobacconist and pick up a drymistat or water pillow.

Unfortuantely I live in Finland and its tricky to get hold of stuff sometimes :(
Thanks for the advice though I think some oasis foam in one of my old cigar boxes will be enough for a weeks supply :)
At least the box seems to hold the humidity reasonably well.

if you are packing it, you might even want to throw the box into a large zip-lock back as well to keep the humidity in.

Anything airtight will do. BK had the right idea, especially with the otterbox, I love mine, just remember, if you fly, you'll only be able to open the otterbox after landing by releasing the pressure valve (first time I fought like the dickens to open, then I remembered some basic Gaussian principles of physics and pressure). Before my otter box, I'd use a slender gatorade bottle, emptied and cleaned. Then, I'd glue a little sponge to the cap, and put my cigars in standing on end. Worked well for a make-shift travel humidor.
