    I'll vouch for the otter box style. I bought a knock off 15 count for $20 it it is great. Seals something rediculous.

    Definitely keeps the cigars from rolling around, ripping the feet up etc...

    Otter Box style (I have a Herf-a-Dor) are great. That brief case style are just OK at best. I know a guy who has one and he has not been very pleased. You do have to be more careful with that and the seal is not very good. Otter box style seal VERY good and as mentioned above they are damn near indestructable.

    Go for one of these over the brief case and you won't be dissappointed. You can generally get these on the cheap (5 count for less than $10 and 15 count for less than $15) on either C-Bid or Cigarauctioneer.com)

    Good luck.

    I have the herf-a-dor one also. I like it. I don't think it has a humidification system though, so I just put one of those wet-pillows in there for humidification.

    I have the 5 stick otterbox for cigar outings and they're fantastic. Even if you throw your bag of clubs in the water hazard, your cigars will be safe and dry!

    I live in SE Wisconsin. Close to Lake Michigan, so it's a bit chilly in summers.

    Default Otter box

    I have a Herf-a-dor from Cbid. I won it with some 5 Vegas. It is a very, very nice setup. You could run it over with a truck and your cigars would be fine.

    I have a Thompson's (I know, don't ask :) briefcase style that just does not do the job. I ended up worrying more about the travel humidor than enjoy my trip up north. Poor cigars.

    I would not recommend the briefcase, but it is your decision, bro.

    I have the 10 count and 32 count Cigar Caddy.

    The 10 count is for day trips and day herfs. The 32 count is for vacations. Boyh are great, They both seal well and keep the cigars from rolling around.

    I also have a 5 count Herf-A-Dor that I won with the 5 vegas sticks. Its awesome. Very sturdy, awesome tight rubber seal and a small flower foam to help out with the humidity.

    The one your looking at buying looks like it doesnt have a seal what so ever on it. Remember also when your traveling with your travel humi to keep the temperature low on it. Just because you have a humidication device inside wont save your sticks if its hot out. I guess right now in most parts of the country its probably pretty cool though so it shouldnt be a worry. I took mine camping when it was about 100+ out her in southern California and I left it in the ice chest all day and night.
