The 8 Best Travel Cigar Cases of 2024 (Travel Humidors)

June 21, 2022 by Will Roby Leave a Comment

Here are my picks for the 3 best travel humidors for 2024:

• Best overall travel humidor: XIKAR 10 Count Cigar Humidor
• Best large travel humidor: Cigar Caddy 40
• Best small travel humidor: HF Leather Travel Humidor (5 Count)

I have fond memories of my dad going everywhere with a cigar in his pocket.

In fact, I keep his last cigar with me on my writing desk.

Here’s a photo of it.

This is the cigar he’d picked out the night before he died and put in his pocket for the next morning. I keep it here with me, wrapped up, to remind me of him. Typical for my dad, a very mild “session” type of cigar that he could enjoy absent-mindedly while doing the morning watering in the garden.

My dad never embraced much cigar tech. He didn’t care for fancy humidors or cigar lighters or whatever. He threw his sticks in his pocket, or in his briefcase or whatever, and just hit the road. I’m sure most of his cigars were worse for the wear.

But that’s how he liked to do it. He didn’t mind a cracked wrapper or a cigar with a little bend to it.

I didn’t inherit my dad’s distaste for humidors, travel cases, and cigar gadgets. If anything, I overcorrected in the other direction. My miscellaneous junk drawer is chock full of cigar toys I bought and didn’t ever adapt. But there they sit, collecting dust, probably embarrassing my dad in the afterlife.

One thing that’s never left the rotation is my travel humidor. I’m on the road probably 20 weeks a year, visiting friends and family, going on vacation, or meeting with people for business. As a man who likes to enjoy at least one nice cigar every day , being on the road means protecting my cigars as I jostle through airports, grind out a 10-hour drive, and unpack and repack my suitcase.

Whether you prefer sweet cigars or spicy Corojos , you need a travel case or two to take them on the go with you.

So many companies are making travel cigar cases, you can pretty much take your pick. Travel humidors come in all shapes and sizes, some with gadgets and gizmos aplenty, others more austere and sophisticated. You can buy a travel cigar case in every color of the rainbow, including the rainbow itself.

In this post, I’ve reviewed my 8 favorite travel cigar cases for 2024. They each have something interesting to offer those of us who like to travel with our favorite smokes. Those reviews are below. I’ve listed them alphabetically for the sake of fairness.

I’ve updated this post for 2024 in February. Please note that cigarzine.com is reader-supported, and if you buy anything through the links here, the site gets a commission.

Also, here’s a link to the travel humidors available at Gotham Cigars . They have a really limited selection. The individual cases listed in this post were available at Famous Smoke, which has a much broader selection. But, as a service to my gentle readers, I like to make it easy to shop around and compare prices.

Table of Contents

1 – Cigar Caddy 40

This is my pick for the best big travel cigar case. It’s airtight and waterproof up to 100 feet (just in case you were planning on snorkeling with your favorite stogies in tow).

All jokes aside, you can put up to 40 cigars in this case and they’ll be safer than any piece of luggage you’ve ever owned.

The case comes in two colors, black, and camo. I like the black one. It just looks cooler and more sophisticated. The case has everything you need – mainly humidification and several travel trays for organization and storage. The case is rigid and crushproof, and it has nicely-built locks that don’t have that cheap feel you sometimes find in budget cases.

You’ll need to let this product do some off-gassing before you start to use it. For whatever reason, part of the manufacturing process leaves behind a typical manufacturing smell. Opening the package and letting the product air out for a day or two will completely rid you of that odor.

This case retails for around $100, but I’ve seen it on sale online for around $96 . Look for sales and wait it out if you can’t find a lower price right away. It’s a wonderful case with excellent reviews that can hold enough cigars for several weeks of enjoyment on the road. Please understand that I check these prices manually, and they might have changed by the time you read this.

2 – Craftsman’s Bench Passport XL

Having a functional humidor with good craftsmanship that can slide right into the backseat or the trunk is a good idea for any cigar smoker. That’s what Craftsman’s Bench Passport XL is great at – protecting small numbers of cigars and being really user-friendly along the way.

This isn’t a humidor. It’s literally just for protecting your sticks. It does a great job at that, and it looks sleek. When I know I’m going to smoke a half-dozen or so cigars in a couple days while I’m on the road, I reach for this case.

I use my Bench Passport XL for quick trips. It holds up to 8 cigars depending on the size. It’s become my go-to car humidor for road trips of just a few hours. In a pinch, I could pack a weeks’ worth of cigars, so long as I rationed myself to just one a day. I don’t want to do it, but if I was pressed for space, I could pull it off.

I bought my Bench Passport XL on sale for around $37 . I’ve seen it in cigar shops for a little more. I’ve also seen it for sale online for a little less. Honestly, it’s a great product even if you pay retail at your local cigar store.

3 – Firebird Travel Humidor

Styled after protective cases for cameras, Firebird’s Travel Humidor is a small but mighty protector and humidor for your cigars that looks cool and won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

I love the blaze orange color. It stands out in my luggage, on the train, on the airplane, or just in the back of my car. The latches feel strong and secure. It holds up to 10 cigars depending on the ring gauge. It includes a humidification device, which is a must if you’re checking your cigars in baggage or if you’re going to be away from them for any period of time.

I brought my Firebird Travel Humidor on a cruise, and it was perfect. I was able to buy some really nice cigars during the cruise, but I wanted a supply of some of my favorites for personal use along the way. Even through all the changing humidity and temperatures and lots of jostling about, I didn’t have a single issue with my sticks on that trip.

The case retails for just under $40 . It’s a good buy at that price, but you probably don’t have to pay it. My local shop had one on sale for a little less the other day. I can also find it for sale online right now for under $30.

4 – HF Barcelona Leather Travel Humidor (5 Count)

Put a drop or two of distilled water in the humidifier and go. That’s the appeal of HF Barcelona’s Leather Travel Humidor, a five-count travel case that’s really just a tiny leather-bound humidor. It’s stylish, it’s a little bit fancy, and I love the sound of the magnetic clasp on the leather binding. It’s somewhere between a “thwack” and a “thwump,” and it sounds like a device that a rich guy would have. If that makes sense.

Sure, you can only store five sticks at a time in it. That limits its use cases for sure. But the small size and high durability also make it perfect for going on adventures. It would look great on the golf course, but you can also use it on your riding lawnmower. The leather case is durable, and mine has started to show some really nice wear.

It’s well-made, the tray is composed of fine okoume wood, and it’s just generally a beautiful piece. Makes for a great gift for a cigar lover. This case and a good cigar lighter are all you need to smoke on vacation.

While you may not be able to pack a week’s worth of cigars for a road trip or your airplane carry-on, it’s a good almost pocket-sized transport humidor, and people will admire the way it looks.

The price range here is really wide. The manufacturer sells it for more than $240. While the materials and craftsmanship absolutely justify that price, you don’t really need to be pay retail. I’ve seen resale websites offering it for around $125. But I bought mine on sale from Famous-Smoke for $55 . You just have to be patient and look around and find a discounted price.

5 – Orleans International 3 Cigar Humidor Tube

Not everything on my list is functional and made of aluminum. This Orleans International 3 Cigar Humidor Tube is covered in leather, styled to look like either crocodile or ostrich. It’s neat-looking and would go better with formal attire than a typical bland humidor tube.

Not only does this little guy include humidification, but it also has a built-in hygrometer so you can easily check the status of your cigars. Most of the cases on this list lack a hygrometer, but Orleans International has stuffed one into this little travel case. That’s impressive.

It’s 2 inches wide and 7 inches deep, so plan accordingly. If you like big stogies, you obviously won’t get three of them in here. If you’re storing panatelas or cigarillos, you’ll probably get way more than three inside.

Orleans International sells this 3-cigar humidor tube for about $40 retail. You can find it online for under $30 . It’s a good buy at either price, but I’d always prefer to pay less.

6 – Private Stash Travel Humidor

I’m not a huge fan of humidors that you’re meant to stuff into your luggage. I prefer standalone devices with their own lock, latch, or clasp system. But not every travel humidor is made that way.

My favorite of these packable cigar travel cases is the Private Stash Travel Humidor. I like the materials first and foremost. It’s made of mahogany and feels luxurious to the touch. The clasp is strong it’s never opened up on me during my travels. I can fit 18-20 Robustos and I know they’ll be perfectly safe and humidified in the bottom of my carry-on or zipped into my checked baggage.

I love the Spanish cedar lining, which produces that lovely cigar box smell we all know and love. It’s inexpensive, so perfect for people just dipping their toe into the pool of cigar gadgetry. The 7-inch width means most cigar formats will fit, even if you can only get a few of them inside.

I bought my Private Stash Travel Humidor for under $20 at Famous-Smoke during a sale . I think the manufacturer charges about $30 retail. I sometimes see this brand in cigar shops, though the price is usually closer to retail than the sale price.

7 – XIKAR 10 Count Cigar Humidor

Here it is – my overall favorite cigar travel case for 2024. XIKAR’s 10-count Cigar Humidor.

XIKAR is probably the top brand in this space. You’ve seen these cases all over the place. They probably sell them in your local cigar shop. I see them all the time traveling for business, in airports and in checked bags, and everywhere else.

Put simply, these cases feel the most secure, with strong clasps, and materials that feel substantial and heavy to the touch. The 8.5-inch width is larger than a lot of travel cases, so our friends who like big cigars can store their stogies in peace.

The only thing missing is a humidification device. That’s not what this case is all about. You can absolutely add your own aftermarket product to help humidify your sticks, but this case is more about protection during travel, not long-term storage.

This case is $50 retail. I have found it on sale online for like $45 or so . Not a lot of discounts on products like this that represent the market standard. If you find a better price, let me know in the comments.

8- San Antonio Cigar Case

This one just came to my attention in February 2024, and it’s a beauty — especially for such an affordable price. ($50 as I write this.) The San Antonio Cigar Case holds 4 large cigars, includes Spanish cedar, and it’s all wrapped up in leather. You can check out the latest price on Amazon by clicking here .

What is a Travel Humidor?

A travel humidor is a portable storage device designed to maintain a consistent humidity level for cigars while on the move.

Whether you’re going on a short business trip or a lengthy vacation, a travel humidor ensures that your cigars stay fresh, properly humidified, and ready to enjoy.

They vary in size, design, and material, but all have the common purpose of protecting cigars from harsh environmental conditions and physical damage.

They are specially engineered to combat pressure changes, temperature fluctuations, and other travel-related stresses.

Why is a Travel Humidor Necessary?

Travel humidors are necessary for several reasons.

When traveling, your cigars are exposed to varying humidity levels and temperatures, which can negatively affect their flavor and burn rate.

With a travel humidor, you ensure your cigars remain at their peak condition no matter where you are.

Moreover, travel humidors provide physical protection, preventing cigars from being crushed or damaged during transportation.

They are built to be durable and often come with secure clasps or locks to keep your cigars safe.

What Factors Should I Consider When Buying a Travel Humidor?

When buying a travel humidor, consider the following factors:

• Size and Capacity: How many cigars do you plan to carry? Travel humidors can accommodate anywhere from 5 to 100 cigars.
• Material: Travel humidors are made from various materials, including wood, leather, and plastic. The choice of material can impact the humidor’s durability and effectiveness in maintaining humidity.
• Seal Quality: A good seal is crucial to prevent humidity from escaping. Check for a humidor with a strong, tight seal.
• Portability: Consider the humidor’s weight and dimensions. If you’re a frequent traveler, opt for a lightweight, compact design.

What is the Best Material for a Travel Humidor?

Travel humidors are typically made from plastic, metal, or wood, each with its own pros and cons:

How Many Cigars Can a Travel Humidor Hold?

Travel humidors can hold anywhere from 1 to 100 cigars, depending on their size.

However, most travel humidors are designed to hold between 5 and 20 cigars, which is often enough for most trips.

How Do I Maintain a Travel Humidor?

Maintaining a travel humidor involves monitoring and regulating the humidity levels and occasionally cleaning the interior.

A hygrometer can help track humidity, while a humidifier (either a passive sponge-type or an active electronic one) can regulate it.

Clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly to prevent mold growth.

Does the Shape of the Cigar Matter When Choosing a Travel Humidor?

Yes, the shape of the cigar does matter when choosing a travel humidor.

Different cigar shapes require different storage space, and not all travel humidors can accommodate every cigar shape.

For example, a travel humidor that can hold 10 Coronas might only hold 6 Torpedos.

Always check the interior design and spacing of the humidor before purchasing.

Is a Travel Humidor Better Than a Regular Humidor?

A travel humidor is not necessarily better or worse than a regular humidor – it’s more about their different uses.

Regular humidors are ideal for long-term storage at home or in a stationary location, while travel humidors are designed for temporary storage during travel.

If you often bring cigars on your trips, a travel humidor is a necessary addition to a regular home humidor.

Are Travel Humidors Worth the Investment?

Yes, travel humidors are worth the investment, especially if you frequently travel with cigars.

They not only ensure the quality of your cigars by maintaining ideal humidity levels but also provide physical protection.

Without a travel humidor, cigars can dry out, become unsmokable, or even be crushed during transportation.

Wrapping Up

Before embarking on your next journey, make sure you’re equipped with all the necessary travel gear essentials , including a top-notch travel humidor.

Navigating the world of cigars can be a complex endeavor, particularly when it comes to preserving their freshness during your travels.

As we’ve discussed throughout this guide, a travel humidor is an invaluable asset for any cigar enthusiast on the move.

It provides an optimal environment for your cigars, safeguarding them against unfavorable conditions, and ensuring you can enjoy them at their best no matter where you are.

Remember, when selecting a travel humidor, prioritize its capacity, the quality of the material, seal, and portability.

Moreover, remember that routine maintenance is key to keeping your travel humidor at peak performance.

We hope this guide has shed light on the importance of the best travel humidors and how to choose the right one.

7 Best Cigar Travel Cases (Portable Humidors)

Almost every serious smoker I know has their own humidor at home, but most drop the ball when taking their stogies into the wild. They just let them rattle around in their pocket, drying out and exposed to damage.

If you’re the kind of gent who wants to truly enjoy a smoke on the road, you should consider a travel humidor or cigar case.

First and foremost, all the best cigar travel cases will keep your cigars in pristine condition.

The seal needs to be tight, and ideally there will be a way to gauge the humidity – either through a built-in hygrometer, or there had better be enough space to install your own.

You want to pick something that suits your storage needs, too.

Vaultek LifePod

Xikar 10 Count

Amancy 3-Finger Leather

If you’re taking off for a month, you’ll want to load up a larger box like the Xikar 50-80 Count to get you through the trip.

But for a round of golf or a night at the bar, you’ll want something stylish to slip into your suit pocket. Check out the Crocodile Humidor tube or Fortune Nexus Steel Cigar Tube for some classy, hyper-portable options.

And if you’re smoking expensive stogies, you’ll want proper security.

The Xikar count boxes have enough space to install a padlock, but you can take things to the next level with the biometric, fingerprint-scanning VaultTek LifePod . You’d have to be a hacker to crack this humidor open.

I’ve tried to cover something for everyone in this guide – so let’s get into it.

Best Cigar Travel Cases

Xikar 10 Count Cigar Humidor : Best Travel Humidor Overall

Vaultek LifePod Humidor Cigar Lock Box : Best Travel Case for Expensive Cigars

Amancy 3 Finger Leather Cigar Case : Most Stylish Cigar Travel Case

Humi Jar : Best Budget Travel Humidor

Fortune Nexus Steel Cigar Tube : Best for Single Cigar Travel Case

Xikar 50 – 80 Count Cigar Humidor : Largest Cigar Travel Case

3 Cigar Crocodile Humidor Tube : Most Stylish Cigar Case 

Best Travel Humidors in 2024

Xikar 10 count cigar humidor – travel humidor overall.

• Best Price: Check Famous Smoke Shop Here

This is exactly what you’re looking for in terms of a quick and easy travel humidor. The Xikar 10 count is my top pick because it’s the perfect balance between holding a good amount and sticks and not being too cumbersome to travel with.

You can pack 10 away in this box and easily fit it in a rucksack or under your car seat. In fact, if you stick it on a shelf or in a drawer, most people won’t even notice what it is.

It makes your smokes virtually indestructible, too. The box has a super tight moisture seal and thick foam padding.

When I throw a Boveda pack in there, this case keeps my cigars perfectly fresh for up to a week – perfect for a getaway trip.

Vaultek LifePod Humidor Cigar Lock Box – Best Travel Case for Expensive Cigars

• Best Price: Check Amazon Here

This is the pick for aficionados with high-value stogies that you need to keep safe. Stealing from the Valtek LifePod is like breaking into a vault.

It has a biometric lock system that can store up to 20 fingerprints, as well as a numerical keypad if you want to keep things a little less sci-fi.

Inside the case, you’ve got space for up to 15 cigars in the Spanish cedar tray, as well as a leather lid organizer with space for your lighters and cutters.

You can control the LifePod’s humidity via Bluetooth from your phone, and there’s an audible alarm in the case that will let you know if anything falls out of line.

The box itself is strong and drop-tested, and can really take a beating. It’s also waterproofed with an inner rubber gasket and floats in the water – if James Bond had a travel humidor, this would be his pick.

Just be aware that it’s a pretty sizeable case – definitely larger than I expected. It’s a little weighty, and not exactly something I’d want to carry around with me all day. Set it down in your hotel room or cigar lounge instead, and run occasional restock runs.

Amancy 3-Finger Leather Cigar Case – Most Stylish Cigar Travel Case

This leather sleeve is the perfect option for carrying a few smokes around the golf course.

It’s beautifully made and will keep up your gentlemanly appearance, but it’s not all about style. This Amancy sleeve also has a strong construction, meaning you’ll never worry about crushing your smokes.

This is a great daily-use cigar case for the money that will house 3 smokes nice and snugly. It’s cedar lined, so if you stick a boveda pack inside you’ll keep your cigars nice and fresh all day, whatever the weather.

It comes with a compartment for your cutter, but just be aware that the one it comes with is pretty feeble. It’s fine as a backup cutter, but I replaced mine with something a little more substantial.

Humi Jar – Best Budget Travel Humidor

If you’re looking for something reliable at a low price, this is the pick for you.

The Humi Jar will keep up to 20 sticks fresh, safe and flavorful. You can’t say much fairer than that.

It’s a stylish and modern-looking travel humidor with a sturdy, hard shell case and a vacuum seal. So you can rest easy knowing your stogies are properly protected.

This was one of my first travel humidors when I didn’t have much cash, and it served me perfectly well. Well worth considering if you’re a rookie who doesn’t want to throw down a load of cash.

Fortune Nexus Steel Cigar Tube – Best for Single Cigar Travel Case

This is my emergency stogie tube. It’s a slender tube that stores a single cigar that you can whip out when the moment is right.

You can store smokes up to a 52-ring gauge and 6.8 inches, which covers the majority of bases for most smokers.

The Fortune Nexus tube is strong and airtight, meaning you can carry your secret weapon around all day without worrying you’ll cause it any damage.

It’s also smell-proof, which is great if you start a cigar but want to save it later and keep it fresh. I never like to waste a quality stogie, but sometimes life can get in the way and force you to cut it short.

Xikar 50 – 80 Count Cigar Humidor – Largest Cigar Travel Case

The Xikar 50-80 Count is the cigar case for you if you regularly take longer trips away. It’s basically the same as Xikar 10 count – just bigger.

This is a great, sturdy case that will really hold 50 sticks if you smoke standard-size stogies like me.  It’s advertised as a 50 – 80 count humidor, but I don’t really see 80 happening unless you’re smoking the smaller ring gauges.

There’s a humidifier pre-installed under the lid, but I removed it and replaced it with the Xikar Round Digital Hygrometer. I use boveda packs to regulate the humidity, and the hygrometer helps me ensure that the proper humidity and temperature are maintained.

I also decided to install a lock in the front two slots by the front latches. That reduces my capacity by a few smokes, but it’s worth it for the added security if you’re carrying a bunch of valuable cigars.

Check out Famous Smoke shop for the best deals – at the moment, they’re running a 15% off deal.

3 Cigar Crocodile Humidor Tube – Most Stylish Cigar Case 

This is the cigar case I take with me on nights in the town. This case has a black, crocodile leather pattern and just looks darn cool.

The strong tube keeps up to 3 Churchill-sized smokes safe from bends and crumples even if I’m having a pretty wild one.

It has a built-in hygrometer and humidifier to keep my smokes fresh – when I pull one out it has the perfect amount of moisture.

The seal definitely does its job for evenings or weekend trips, but just be aware that this case probably isn’t designed to retain your cigars for much longer than 3 – 4 days. It’s good, but it’s not magic.

FAQs About Cigar Travel Humidors

The best cigar travel case is the Xikar 10 count . It’s a perfect balance between holding a good amount and sticks and being nice and portable. 

The cheapest travel humidor is the Humi Jar . It uses a vacuum seal to keep up to 20 cigars fresh and flavorful – all for under $20.

12 Best Travel Humidors Reviewed

Are you frequently gone for the day and wish you had a couple of cigars in the car so you could kick back and relax? 

Perhaps you’re planning a trip or holiday and won’t be able to bring your hefty humidor with you. So, grab some cigars and come along for the adventure!… Because this area has a variety of travel humidors and travel cases that can hold from 3-80 cigars.

Buyer’s Guide for Travel Humidors

Travel humidor advantages, drawbacks of travel humidors, look for the following features, examine the foam type, portability, accessories, versatility, design of the exterior, purchase more than is necessary, making use of boveda packs in a travel humidor, propylene glycol & distilled water travel humidor, how long may cigars be stored in a ziploc bag, consider one-year boveda humidor bag instead..

One of the first things you learn in the cigar business is that cigars should always be stored in a controlled atmosphere. This allows them to develop, grow sweeter, and age more slowly. 

Your cigars might be ruined if you do not use a humidor. The same may be stated if you bring your cigars without sufficient protection.

Due to high temperatures and uncontrolled humidity levels on the golf course, whether you’re playing in strong heat or near a water source, your cigars are more likely to dry out or have a bitter taste. 

That is why we have identified the best travel humidors to transport your prized cheroot while on the road. Each product has something special to offer, so select wisely based on your requirements. Also, don’t forget to check out our buyer’s guide for more in-depth information.

Cigar Case Cigarism

• 【PERFECT TRAVEL KIT】The humidor set have all the cigar accessories needed for smoking including cutter, lighter and humidifier. Perfect for outdoor activity like playing golf, long trip, camping etc.
• 【HIGH-END MATERIAL】The product is made of high quality PU leather and Spanish cedar. Feels comfortable to hold in hand and keep cigars in a perfect humidity level.
• 【LARGE CAPACITY】Dimension: 8.26"×5.11"×3.14"; Holds 4 cigars of max length 6.88" max ring gauge 55(22mm). With a strip to keep different size of cigars safe and sound while traveling.

We begin with the Cigarism Cigar Case, which is handy for keeping your cigars and lighting them. 

The various components that come with it will immediately wow you. It includes a zinc alloy cigar cutter to assist you in caring for your cigars and trim them to the trimming you want. Steel blades suitable for use on various cigars round out the set.

Furthermore, the blades are stainless steel, ensuring they will endure for a long time. It also includes a jet flame lighter, eliminating the need to carry a separate lighter and allowing you to light your cigar anytime. It also features a Spanish cedar tray with a lovely smell that keeps insects at bay.

Meanwhile, the surface is quite soft, making it extremely easy to hold. The handle, which comes in helpful while transporting it and its myriad attachments, adds to the comfort.

• Tray made with Spanish cedar
• Keeps humidity at bay
• Handle for increased convenience
• Surface that is soft
• Flower Carving
• The lighter may fail.

Case for Scotte Cigar Humidor

• Portable cigar humidor/cigar moisturize canister,travel cigar case/tube
• Made of high quality leather(appearance)+Cedar(inner)
• Portable,fashion and simple,Wear-resisting and durable

The Scotte Cigar Humidor is, without a doubt, one of the best-selling travel humidors this year. It is practical, can hold many cigars at once, and is excellent at maintaining its RH percentage. 

However, it isn’t what makes it such a popular product. The pricing is what entices people to buy it. When it comes to value for money, this humidor reigns supreme.

It is quite straightforward in terms of design and construction. The humidor is a tube-shaped container with a small cap on top. The case’s structure is composed of cedarwood. This wood is good at maintaining humidity and has a pleasant fragrance.

In terms of construction, Scotte has utilized premium-grade leatherette to create this product, which is resistant to wear and tear. The hardwood finish is also fairly robust, adding to the product’s overall sturdiness.

The roomy interior of this device, which allows you to keep 12-16 cigars at once, is its selling point. However, we recommend having an average of 12 cigars on hand, as more than that may cause some congestion.

And while it looks great, it doesn’t function well. That is my main qualm with it. It is not waterproof, as several other devices in this price range are. 

Furthermore, it does not retain humidity for lengthy periods. With that in mind, make sure you only use it as a travel humidor because using it as a traditional humidor box that can retain your cigars for months, if not years, might destroy them.

• Stunning leather
• On the interior, cedar wood
• Available in black and brown leather.
• It has a capacity of 12-16 cigars.
• Integrated hygrometer
• Very low cost
• Waterproofing is not possible.
• It is not airtight.
• It does not retain humidity effectively over lengthy periods of time.

CiTree Travel Humidor for Cigars

• Premium Cigar Travel Humidors/Portable Cigar Case, zipper lock closure
• Comes with a refillable 3 jet flame lighter (BUTANE FUEL NOT INCLUDED) and a Premium Cigar Cutter. Has everything you need to store and transport your cigars in safety and style.
• Interior cedar wood tray secures with a leather strap to separate and protect up to four cigars with max length 7.0" and ring gauge 56.

The CiTree Cigar Travel Humidor is another lovely cigar box with a little different shape. It has many accessories, a spacious cabin, and a fantastic leather wrap. While this is a lot superior humidor than Scotte models, it is also significantly more costly. Furthermore, it does not have a large capacity, making it a more portable option.

On the outside, this humidor box is available in three leather colors: brown, black, and black crocodile designs. All three look great, but the black crocodile leather elevates the humidor to another level. It has a more classic look inside, with a hardwood cedar box. 

On the bottom, you’ll find a cigar rack that can hold up to 5 different cigars. Dividers and a leather strap restrict the cigars from sliding about while you’re on the go. The box’s top side has three pockets: one for a lighter, one for a cigar cutter, and one for a humidity pack.

The cigar lighter and cutter are both included in the package, which is a nice touch and one of the reasons this humidor costs a little more than the others. The humidifier slot is intended to be used with Boveda’s humidity packs , which are unique in their ability to maintain a constant RH. 

However, because the box is not airtight nor waterproof, it will struggle to maintain a steady humidity level over lengthy periods.

• Amazing appearances
• There are three leather variations available.
• There are 5 cigar slots and a leather strap.
• It includes a cigar cutter and a lighter.
• It has a compartment for a Boveda humidity pack.
• It is simple to use and transport.
• The most desirable Spanish cedar lining
• The unit comes with an effective humidifying system.
• The unit ensures great air circulation that helps in keeping your cigar fresh for months.
• Extremely costly
• It lacks a hygrometer.
• It is neither airtight nor waterproof.

AMANCY Travel Leather Cigar Humidor Case Portable

• The cigar humidor is Elegant and modern design,conveniently to carry by small size.
• Outside of the case wrapped with leather and cedar wood inside to protect and keep cigars fresh
• Dimensions : height 8 in x diameter 3 in,Capacity: holding 5 cigars

The Amancy Portable Leather Cigar Humidor Case is a model that is remarkably similar to the Scotte humidor that we tested. 

However, because it is smaller, it is significantly more practical and easy to utilize in the actual world. Because of its reduced size, it fits more easily into your luggage and is a much better partner on the golf course. Speaking of gold, if you want to surprise some of your friends, the business also sells a humidor that looks like a golf bag!

While the capacity is just about 5 cigars, this humidor has a high build quality. The interior of the cedar box is lined with luxurious black leather. Brown leather is not possible, at least not in this form factor. The brand’s brown leather variants have various forms and contain fewer cigars.

A built-in hygrometer is located on the top cap as an accessory. It isn’t the most precise analog hygrometer on the market, but it does the job. On the inside, you also receive a lengthy humidifier and a dropper.

• Elegant style
• Interior made of cedar wood
• Simple to transport
• Excellent value for money
• Not waterproof
• Not completely airtight

Travel Humidor by Xikar

• Travel Case Holds 5 Cigars, A Must-Have Humidor for Every Cigar Lover
• Super-strong ABS Molded Plastic Construction, Airtight, Watertight, Crushproof
• Stainless Steel Hinge and Latch Hinges, Molded Lock Ring for Addition of Extra Security, Locking Clasp

The Xikar travel humidor is one of the most serious gadgets on the market, allowing you to place your cigars in a box that will safeguard them. 

It comprises crushproof ABS-molded plastic and has a stainless steel back hinge and two heavy-duty front locks. A molded lock ring keeps the environment airtight and waterproof, while high-density urethane foam on the inside cradles your cigars. Each model has a tiny humidifier (usually a puck) or a Boveda pack.

The box’s interior has cushioning that will assist hold the cigars in place, and you will discover that you can use this product for only a few smokes that need to be put into your back. The box is simple to seal, and it’s a useful item to have when you want to pack your cigars along with your other things on a trip.

Some might say the foam is not shaped to fit the cigar is the downside. But I think it’s both a pro and a con. If you have a larger gauge cigar, this might be something you can use to fit those, say a 60 gauge.

But if you are traveling and have smaller cigars, it won’t be in place and might move around. As long as the humidity inside is kept well, you shouldn’t see too much rubbing, causing the cigars to break from the traction.

• Airtight, waterproof, and crush proof
• Holds up to ten cigars.
• Zips up and closes easily.
• There is no humidifier ring.
• The foam has not been molded.

Volenx Leather Cigar Case with 3 Travel Cigar Humidor Tubes

VolenX is a brand that specializes in one-of-a-kind and fashionable cigar goods. Their leather cigar box is one of this list’s most visually appealing models. All of this is due to the leather exterior and luxury feel. 

However, this case has some drawbacks, which is why it is a little lower on my list. Still, for the price, it’s difficult to find competing products with this much style.

This leather cigar case, unlike others, does not have a wooden interior. Instead, it’s all made of real leather. The leather features a crocodile design that adds to its luxury. 

Because leather isn’t the best material for maintaining humidity, you should be aware that this case won’t keep your cigars fresh for more than a few days. It protects them if you put them in your luggage for a short trip or take them to the golf course. Aside from that, this is one of the worst solutions for storing your cigars without them getting destroyed.

No size or color alternatives are available here, which is a shame because black leather would have looked great with this case. It has three distinct compartments for each cigar and can accommodate large gauge cigars. 

Long cigars can also suit nicely. There is a little pocket on the exterior for a portable cigar cutter. This case comes with a stainless steel cutter, giving it an even greater value for money.

The VolenX Leather cigar case is one of the most visually appealing options available if you want to impress your friends. 

However, it has a restricted carrying capacity since it can only hold three cigars. It also does not retain humidity effectively. Still, given the price, and because you receive a bonus stainless steel cigar cutter, this is a great offer if you’re looking for something tiny and portable for shorter trips.

• Genuine leather construction
• It has a capacity of three cigars.
• Lightweight
• Complimentary cigar cutter
• Design is compact.
• Reasonably priced
• It does not include a humidifier.
• It does not include a hygrometer.
• It does not retain humidity effectively.

One of my favorite models this year is the Scotte Portable Travel Cigar Humidor Case. It has a lot of functions and is the only travel humidor you’ll need if you want something tiny and functional.

First and foremost, you will note that the unit’s appeal is fueled by its original leather composition. Furthermore, the 100 percent cedar wood lining is aesthetically pleasing and allows you to preserve your cigars safely and without infection.

In many aspects, it mirrors the design of the CiTree travel case, but it is far less expensive and far more visually appealing. The construction quality is one area where it falls short of the CiTree humidor, but it is about the only significant disadvantage I could discover.

On the outside, this case is covered in stunning ostrich-pattern leather that is unlike anything else on the market. The leather case zips closed and wraps around a cedar wood humidor box. 

There are four distinct slots inside the box. Another minor disadvantage is that some identical boxes may contain up to 5 cigars. In any case, there are pockets for your cigar cutter and lighter and a leather strap to keep the cigars in place.

A humidifier box is located beneath the two little pockets. It comes in a packet and is quite simple to remove and replace once you’ve moisturized it. A built-in hygrometer is incorporated into the box’s wall. 

Even though it is analog, it provides precise measurements of what is happening within the box. The box itself is neither airtight nor waterproof, so don’t use it as a full-fledged cigar humidor but rather as a travel case good for up to a week or two.

• It looks lovely.
• Inside the cedar box
• There is a strap for the cigars.
• It includes a cigar cutter.
• Has an analog hygrometer built in
• Humidifier that is simple to use
• Fits four cigars
• Inner pocket with a zipper
• A little pricey
• Only 4 cigars can be stored.
• Doesn’t keep humidity as long as a standard humidor.
• There is no travel handle.
• Incompetent cigar cutter

Cigar Caddy 3400-R Blaze 5 Cigar Waterproof Travel Humidor

• Holds up to 5 churchill cigars
• Made from super strong abs molded plastic
• Floats on water, airtight seal, waterproof to 100 feet deep

The Cigar Caddy case isn’t just about appearances; it also works admirably. Compared to other leather travel cigar boxes, it is completely waterproof, shockproof, and has a very tight seal. It includes a built-in humidifier on the interior and can hold a significant amount of humidity. 

The humidifier works by adding a few drops of water and allowing your cigars to remain inside. However, I would have preferred if there had been a hygrometer to provide me with interior readings at any time.

Capacity is adequate for 5 Churchill cigars with extra left over for an accessory. In terms of accessories, it lacks cigar cutters and lighters, making it a slightly poorer value for money when compared to Flauno and Mrs. Brog models. 

Furthermore, there are no size options, which is something I would want to see in the future. Last but not least, unlike similar models, this one has stainless steel latch hinges, which are significantly stronger and provide a better seal.

Regarding performance, these stiff ABS-plastic models have virtually little competition on the market aside from themselves. 

That is also true of the Cigar Caddy 3400-R. It is eye-catching, simple to use, and above all, it will preserve your smokes better than nearly anything else on the market. If you don’t mind the appearance of these cigar cases, I recommend trying one on your next trip and seeing how remarkable they are!

• Waterproof to a depth of one hundred feet
• It has a capacity of five cigars.
• The humidifier CD is included.
• Case that is crushproof
• Colors that are visually appealing
• It is not possible to adjust the temperature precisely.
• Humidifier discs must be changed or rehydrated on a regular basis.

Travel Cigar Humidor Cigar Caddy 3240

• Holds up to 10 churchill cigars
• Made from super strong abs molded plastic (Crush-proof)

As we go from portable to roomy 10-cigar cases, the Cigar Caddy 3240 travel cigar humidor is a good moment to introduce it. This box gives more than you pay for at the price of a standard 3-stogie box. Let’s see if it meets your requirements!

Starting with the aesthetic, this product has a direct and easygoing appeal. Although it may not appeal to the most ardent fans, it is a true treat for everyone who appreciates simplistic designs. In contrast to the leather-coated cases, the Cigar Caddy humidor has a matte black fiber frame with a gold brand emblem that looks good enough.

Don’t be fooled by its modest appearance; this product exceeds our classics in terms of convenience. The capacity to float on water is, without a doubt, its most crucial attribute. Accidents are likely to occur when traveling due to ignorance, which is why the brand has designed it waterproof and floatable!

This product’s durability is unrivaled, as the strong casing can survive extreme wear and tear to safeguard your stogies in the long term. Not only that, but the box is completely airtight, which aids in retaining the scent of your Churchill cigars. Not only that, but the humidifier disc in the lid makes it easier to protect your stogies.

Other significant characteristics are steel latch hinges, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to producing long-lasting and robust items. Overall, it’s one of our top picks for bargain seekers seeking the best deals.

Because it is such a low-cost item, expecting it to be faultless is unrealistic. Similarly, we’re concerned about the chemical stench emanating from the foam cushioning, which may infuse your grass.

• Airtight seal for security
• Can hold up to ten cigars at once.
• Design that is straightforward
• Air pressure release system based on coins
• Can hold up to 10 cigars
• Locking clasps that are detachable
• Latch hinges made of stainless steel
• The chemical odor from the foam padding
• The plastic loop might snap.
• Clasps might fail.

LifePod Humidor Cigar Lock Box by Vaultek

• Portable Humidor with a secure BUILT-IN LOCK SYSTEM. Integrating precision engineered safe technology and an anti-impact latch design. Featuring a built-in lock allowing you to quickly lock LifePod for added security when needed. Easily portable to travel in your car, to the office, on a boat, and in luggage. Meets TSA guidelines. Fits 8 cigars and up to 15 cigars when stacked. Ring size 50 (20 mm) w/two jumbo slots. Cigar length 7.25” (184 mm).
• Touch Activated Keypad. A unique backlit LED capacitive keypad provides entry to unlock the LifePod and quick press to lock action when locking. The high resolution weatherproof biometric scanner provides secure access for 20 unique fingerprints. In addition, backup keys are included to unlock LifePod in the event the battery dies.
• LifePod Humidor is equipped with a Spanish cedar cigar tray with leather accents, leather lid organizer with built-in control pack storage pocket for humidity control packs, and pockets for a lighter/cutter. Optional hand finished antique brass color available.

The Vaultek LifePod Humidor Cigar Lock Box is the last but not least item on this list. This one is very different from everything else we’ve talked about so far, so buckle up because there are a lot of features to go over.

The LifePod comprises tough composite materials on the outside, making it waterproof, shockproof, and entirely airtight when closed. And, despite its size, it isn’t as heavy as you might think. It features a small shape that allows it to fit into your luggage easily.

When opening it, you have many options at your disposal. For one thing, you can open it with the keys that come with it. You receive two of these keys, which are important in case the battery dies and you need the means to get to it. You can also enter your unique 4-8 digit code using the backlit capacitive keypad. Finally, you may utilize the biometric scanner to gain quick access by scanning a pre-installed fingerprint.

On the inside, you’ll discover a lovely cedarwood box. A lid organizer and a leather strap for the cigars are on top. In the mesh pocket, you may store items like humidifying packs or other smoking equipment.

Bluetooth connection and the app are two very revolutionary features here. Now, I won’t go into great detail, but this case can briefly detect changes in its surroundings and regulate the interior humidity accordingly. It can also detect temperature changes and immediately warn you via the app. This allows you to keep a close eye on the box’s contents and prevent damaging your cigars.

The LifePod can hold up to 15 people when the cigars are stacked. However, I believe the perfect amount of cigars to put in the tray is 8, as they will all have their spot. A leather strap will go over them and hold them secure. On the top lid, you’ll also find pockets for any accessories you’ve chosen to bring with you, such as a lighter or a cutter. 

In a nutshell, this is the best of the crop in terms of both technology and cigar protection. If you can afford it, you should not hesitate to get this travel case!

• Design and functionality that are unique
• Authentication using biometrics
• Integrated locking system
• Has a lid that can be arranged and has a PIN that can be up to 8 digits long.
• Cigar tray made of Spanish cedar
• Is there a Bluetooth app?
• It doesn’t hold a lot of cigars.
• It is powered by batteries.
• When compared to other travel humidors, this one is bulky and hefty.

Cigar Caddy 3540 Travel Cigar Humidor

• Holds up to 15 churchill cigars

The Cigar Caddy Travel Humidor has a lot of storage capacity and serves as a one-stop shop for keeping all of your cigars fresh.

Given that it carries a lot of muscle, you’ll realize immediately that it’s well-built. Due to the molded plastic structure, your cigars will be safe even if the case comes into touch with water. The plastic prevents it from sinking and keeps it afloat for further protection.

Along with the buoyancy, the stainless-steel clasp ensures that the cigars are housed in an airtight chamber, preventing outside factors from entering. Furthermore, it is rust resistant, which gives much-needed durability for daily usage.

It also has two detachable clasps, contributing to its longevity while making it flexible. 

Aside from this, there’s also a humidifier to keep your cigars from drying out after too long under the tight seal. The major boost, though, is in capacity since it can easily accommodate up to 40 Churchill cigars.

The unit’s issue is that it has shallow niches and a lengthy gasket, which may make it difficult to put cigars. Because you can’t vary the size of the slots or gaskets, you’ll have to make changes to the cigars that many customers won’t like.

• It has a capacity of 40 Churchill cigars.
• a watertight seal
• Two detachable clasps
• include a humidifier
• Narrow niches
• a lengthy gasket

Largest Travel Humidor Xikar 50-80

• Airtight, watertight, and crushproof
• Super-strong ABS molded plastic construction
• Secure locking mechanisms with stainless steel hinge and latch hinges

The Xikar 50-80 travel humidor is an ideal alternative if you need to move a large number of cigars. The high-density urethane foam gently protects your cigars by being crushproof and airtight.

We’d replace the foam humidifier that came with it with a couple of 60g Boveda packets. Remember to utilize one for every 25 cigar capacities, as stated previously. Aside from that, this is most likely the greatest heavy-duty travel humidor for huge volumes.

Most individuals who would be interested in purchasing this prefer to smoke a 60-gauge cigar. If you have a 60-ring gauge cigar, it will not fit in the slot given. Thus you may either remove the foam or use it for cushioning rather than fitting cigars exactly.

This suits me because I travel for months at a time. However, if you’re searching for a humidor for your house, you may use this both at home and on the road.

• ABS molded plastic architecture is extremely robust.
• Stainless steel locking mechanisms provide security.
• Urethane foam with a high density
• Valve for pressure alleviation
• Crushproof, airtight, and waterproof
• Doesn’t hold 80

Cigar enthusiasts frequently use humidors to keep many cigars fresh. So, if you have a lot of cigars and don’t know how to store them properly, or if you want to keep their taste fresh or mature, a humidor is a great solution. 

Of course, cigar humidor coolers are also a great option because they provide better climate control. 

However, because these coolers are relatively new to the cigar business, most smokers continue with a traditional humidor to preserve their cigar’s taste fresh.

Cigars must be stored at the proper temperature to avoid staleness and mold growth and keep the tobacco from drying out. A basic humidor is usually a good choice, but most versions are not portable. 

Fortunately, with the increasing popularity of cigar smoking, more and more manufacturers are releasing travel-sized versions that will allow you to take your cigars with you on vacation, to work, or for a fun game of golf.

Travel humidors must meet certain specifications to work properly.

They must provide an airtight seal to produce the proper internal climate. They will not keep the moisture delivered by the humidifier if they are not airtight.

Furthermore, the humidor should be made of lightweight, portable materials. However, the materials must be strong enough to withstand shocks or be crushed.

Superior travel humidors, on the other hand, are not only exceedingly crushproof but also waterproof. After all, you never know what can happen while you’re traveling, and it’s a reassuring feature if you’re going to the beach.

All travel humidors should have sturdy locks to avoid accidental openings while being carried or stored in luggage. Meanwhile, some higher-end humidors will include locking systems with combinations or keys, allowing them to be safely kept without worrying about wandering sticks.

Finally, some nicer, more complex travel humidors will have air travel safety valves. Because you may be leaving them in your checked luggage, you can open the valve ahead of time to prevent the box from breaking under low pressure.

To be sure, travel humidors aren’t always perfect, which is why we don’t advocate them for long-term storage. Few of the travel humidors we’ve tested have truly airtight seals because they’re essentially hard cases with added rubber seals.

As a result, they tend to underperform and are only worthwhile if you intend to enjoy the cigars soon rather than later. However, this does not always apply to all travel humidors; some excellent options are on the market. Just be sure you’re getting quality rather than an appealing look or a low price.

Another typical issue with travel humidors is their limited storage space compared to their size. Regrettably, this is partially due to necessity.

To protect and cushion the cigars, most travel humidors are packed with Ester, Polyethylene, or 

Pro-Cell foam. However, this is a double-edged sword because it leaves little room for cigars, let alone the humidifier or hygrometer!

Nonetheless, the foam serves a crucial purpose: it keeps the cigars from moving around inside the container and damaging one another.

Nonetheless, this may occasionally result in the insufficient room for your cigars. As a result, folks may attempt to overfill their travel humidors, and we may crush them from the inside!

Because there are so many portable humidors on the market, finding one will be difficult. This part will look at the different aspects that contribute to a solid model. Here are some of the key qualities to look for when purchasing a new travel humidor:

The most significant advantage of storing cigars in a humidor, especially when traveling, is that they can keep your smoke taste fresh wherever you go. 

However, to keep your cigars fresh while you’re on the go, you’ll need a hygrometer and humidifier case. Most humidifiers operate by preserving cigars as long as they have a correct seal design and are built of high-quality materials.

Travel humidors are frequently graded based on their capacity to keep your cigars moist and fresh. This is frequently determined by how effectively they can seal. Cases usually feature robust clamps and insulation to keep the inner RH levels stable without losing too much. 

Leather cases are significantly worse at retaining humidity. They are, however, more suited to brief periods in which you take your cigars with you on much shorter journeys.

Although it is not a critical feature, it is worth inspecting the foam material insulating the travel humidor. As previously stated, they can be made of the three materials listed below:

• Ester: Ester, maybe the best cigar foam, provides a fantastic cushion that protects delicate things that can break under impact. Its cushioning is flexible, allowing it to store things of varying shapes.
• Polyethylene: This is a suitable foam for most applications since it absorbs more shock than Ester and is designed for heavier things.
• Pro-Cell: Pro-Cell is preferable for screens because of its polished finish. It’s softer than the other foams yet surprisingly substantial.

The foam also comes in a variety of cuts and forms. You may choose foams with a flat finish, ideal for smaller, flatter humidors. Otherwise, the convoluted, egg-crate-shaped foam provides more protection.

Some travel humidors may feature piped foam to provide a pre-shaped spot to place your cigars.

Your tool must be tough enough to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. It will have to cope with hot and damp temperatures as a travel humidor, which might ruin your cigars. It should come as no surprise that only high-quality materials should be used to build your cigars to ensure their safety and longevity.

Purchasing any humidor is an investment, and you cannot afford to spend time or money on a new one regularly. You must appreciate both the product and the components that come with it for an extended period.

Manufacturers cannot afford to make any concessions in this area. As a result, simply having a steel or leather structure is insufficient. To be the ideal storage place, it must be rust-resistant, waterproof, airtight, and dustproof.

Cigars come in various sizes, but that doesn’t mean the designers must sacrifice any travel humidor’s capacity. The basic goal of any unit is to care for your cigars properly.

 Of course, every instrument is limited to how many cigars it can hold, but it shouldn’t be too high or too low.

It must provide adequate storage, but not at the expense of disregarding other features. It should be constructed so you can easily transport many cigars when traveling. In addition, the case should be adaptable enough to accept different sizes.

It is pointless to have a large amount of storage if the consumers find it difficult to maintain quality. 

Rather, every excellent model must start with the essentials and add the elements required to offer superior performance.

It must be portable so you can enjoy a cigar whenever the mood strikes. After a week or more of hard work, you may wish to relax by traveling to a friend’s house, camping, or even going on vacation. The travel humidor should be readily transportable and not inconvenient.

It should not be difficult to fit into your luggage, pocket, or automobile. While the humidor addresses the problem of where to store your cigars, you shouldn’t have to worry about how to transport the humidor. It must be large enough to hold numerous cigars but not so huge that it becomes difficult to transport on your trips.

Humidors are available in a broad range of styles these days. These gadgets are built of various materials, including plastic, nylon, wood, and leather. 

Fortunately, high-quality wood, plastic, nylon, and leather cases are quite durable. When purchasing one, remember the setting in which you will be playing. If you reside in a humid region, you’ll want a model that provides superior protection.

Regarding shape, travel humidors can take the form of a box or a compact case that can hold 2-3 cigars. Boxes feature stronger clamps and space for humidifiers, whereas leather cases usually do not.

Most recent models include everything you’ll need to start your new cigar passion. The better versions will allow you to keep a wide range of cigars and include great cigar cutters. Some also include modest storage areas for cigar lighters and other supplies.

A travel-friendly model may be the best option if you can’t afford a full-size humidor. A portable model with a capacity of four to eight cigars can be purchased for around $50. 

Of course, the craftsmanship and materials utilized will influence how effectively a travel-friendly model protects your smokes.

If you’re new to cigar smoking, you might have observed that some of your friends keep their cigars in compact travel tubes that fit nicely into their pockets. These cases are ideal if you only need to carry one cigar for a short round. Of course, if you plan on sharing with friends or making a day of it out on the course, you may require something larger.

Some portable humidors are much larger and have handles that allow you to easily transport them from hole to hole. These larger models can contain ten to twelve cigars, but you may also find those that can carry twenty or more.

Spanish cedar will be used to line a high-quality casing. Almost all high-end travel versions will have cedar lining. Of course, Spanish cedar is the finest option since it regulates moisture naturally. 

Some cigar aficionados believe that cedar enhances the flavor of the cigar. However, it is well known that keeping your cigars in a cedar-lined humidor can also affect the taste, causing the cigars to taste rather harshly. 

Leather is another popular material for the lining of high-end humidor boxes. Speaking about which…

Most cigar enthusiasts will choose versions with real leather on the case’s exterior. The material used on the outside is just as significant as the material used on the inside. You’ll want to pick a case made of a long-lasting, high-quality material that keeps moisture out. 

Furthermore, the material utilized for the outside should be able to aid in heat retention.

If you want a scratch-resistant and waterproof case, you should go for a sealed wood case, one made of carbon or plastic.

Although it is not an essential requirement, several businesses provide a variety of useful extras to entice customers. Most of them come with a stainless steel cutter that aids in the preparation of the cigar, saving you money. Some businesses even go so far as to sell butane torch lighters at exorbitant prices.

Many large producers will add a guarantee or warranty to ensure that the cigars stay fresh and safe. Although not every humidor comes with a guarantee, many larger manufacturers will provide at least a one-year limited warranty in the case of a manufacturing problem. Some providers will even provide a money-back guarantee for 90 days if the humidor fails to keep your cigars fresh.

Finally, as we’ve already stated, travel humidors have a deceptively modest storage capacity compared to their size. As a result, it’s always a good idea to keep this in mind while shopping for a travel humidor.

For starters, its stated count capacity may relate to lesser vitolas than you want to carry. It’s rather disheartening to discover that your case can only handle 5 robustos when you need to travel 6 Churchills!

Second, you may only want to bring a few when purchasing the humidor. However, in the future, you may want to carry even more. Unless you intend to purchase a new travel humidor for each potential circumstance, consider purchasing one that can hold more than you require.

Finally, it is important not to overfill a portable humidor. If the foam is compressed too tightly, it will absorb shock but put undue pressure on the cigars. If you’re not cautious, an overstuffed travel humidor might shatter the cigars!

Placing a Boveda pack in your travel humidor is the simplest and safest way to travel with cigars. Depending on how many cigars you’re keeping, Boveda packets can last anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A single 60-gram pack is adequate to humidify 25 cigars, but there are smaller 8-gram packs available to humidify a lesser number of cigars — and take up less room in your travel humidor.

When using Boveda, you may select a humidity level ranging from 62 percent RH to 72 percent RH. The most significant advantage of Boveda is that you do not need to add water or monitor your humidity level.

Simply drop a pack in with your smokes, close your travel humidor, and go. Boveda’s innovative two-way humidity management distributes a predefined RH, and the packs will not harm your cigars if they come into contact with them.

If your travel humidor comes with a humidifier, fill it with propylene glycol solution or distilled water. The type of water used in a humidor is important.

If you use undistilled bottled water or tap water, you risk introducing mold into your cigars. Soak the humidifier in distilled water or inject enough propylene glycol into the sponge to fill it without causing a puddle within the humidor.

You just need enough to keep your cigars at a consistent humidity level for the duration of your journey. While a hygrometer is good for measuring humidity, it is not always easy to maintain a hygrometer in the limited area most travel humidors provide.

If you have time, use a digital hygrometer to check the humidity in your travel humidor before putting your cigars inside. After achieving a consistent RH of 70% for a few days, you should be able to store your cigars inside.

If you replenish the humidifier before leaving, your cigars should stay fresh for a few days or weeks. If you’re going to be gone for an extended period, refill the humidifier with distilled water.

Some factors must be considered when selecting a suitable cigar humidor for travel. This will guarantee that you purchase a proper one to keep your cigars fresh for longer.

One of the aspects to consider is the material, which applies to the interior and exterior. 

The exteriors of leather, PU, or fabric serve as insulating layers to ensure optimal interior conditions.

The humidor size should be suitable for packing your baggage without too much difficulty. You want a portable humidor to carry in your backpack for easy access.

Furthermore, the capacity controls how many cigars you may hold at one time. If traveling on a lengthy journey, you should acquire a humidor to keep as many cigars as you need.

Humidifiers and hygrometers are necessary accessories that increase the value and usefulness of your humidor. If you don’t have these accessories, you should look for a portable humidor that has them built in.

This ensures that the cigars remain in the best possible condition throughout. The examples above are some of the greatest traveling cigar humidors for your next vacation. They all fulfill quality requirements and keep your cigars fresh throughout.

Unwrapped cigars in a Ziploc bag will be kept for 2 to 3 days. You can store them in your bag, but try to keep them out of direct sunlight. The plastic may keep them from drying out for a few days, but it will not keep them from being smashed by whatever is moving about in your luggage.

• PORTABLE STORAGE BAG: Lightweight, portable, and space-saving design is a special feature for travel and outdoor activities. As soon as you take sticks out of a storage box, fluctuating humidity levels cause sticks to lose essential oils and flavors. Protects sticks wherever you’re headed out for the evening, day tripping, boating, skiing, weddings, birthdays, graduations, golfing, or camping. Safeguards souvenir sticks to or from your stick vacation.
• REUSABLE & RESEALABLE BAG: Preloaded with patented Boveda the RH pack uses all-natural salt and water to ensure an exact 69% Relative Humidity (RH) inside this high-tech storage bag. A simple touch test will let you know when it’s time to replace Boveda—it will feel crunchy and rigid. Our airtight seal will make you feel confident traveling with your sticks! Not just for travel though a great gift for a new stick hobbyist, smart-priced second storage or first stop for conditioning new sticks.
• HOW IT WORKS: Our patented two-way humidity controlled Boveda packs compensate the atmosphere inside your storage box. When water vapor is needed, Boveda releases the cleanest and most purified humidity. When there is too much moisture in your storage box, Boveda absorbs the excess. With Boveda, you do not have to adjust any valves or figure out if you put in too much or too little water and you will never have to fill or refill your device with water again - ever.

As a recommended travel option, the One-Year Boveda Humidor Bag. This is one of our favorite and least expensive ways to keep cigars when traveling properly.

Because they come in various sizes, you can keep everything from a few cigars to a couple of boxes in a single bag. When traveling with complete boxes, just put them into a bigger bag, which is safe in and of itself.

If you only have a few cigars, place them in a smaller bag and then place the bag in a tougher box for protection. This is not only enough but also provides a better climate for your cigars than other travel humidors.

Finally, despite their look, Boveda bags aren’t just branded ziplock bags with a Boveda pack attached. They are, in reality, composed of barrier-laminated plastic with an airtight enclosure. Meanwhile, standard ziplock bags lose moisture over time and aren’t as dependable as we’d like to believe.

Otherwise, you may consider bringing a tiny Tupperware when traveling. While less appealing, it is unquestionably less expensive and more effective than the bulk of travel humidors on the market.

Self proclaimed cigar expert. I've been smoking since 2010. I've practically lived at a cigar lounge from 10am to 10pm and trying every new cigar that came out for years.

Best Travel Humidors For Your Needs: Expert Guide

When it comes to cigar transportation, there are many options. Do you need a compact travel humidor for your next outing? What about an extra-large one that will hold more cigars? Or maybe you need something in between those two sizes – we’ve got them all! In this article, we’re going over the expert practices for choosing the best travel humidor. We’ll also provide product reviews and tips to help you make the right decision on what is best suited for your needs!

Travel with your Cigars in Style

If you have lots of cigars and don’t know what to do with them, you should consider storing them so they won’t become stale. Almost all types of tobacco products will eventually go bad, but this especially applies to cigars. They must be set at the right temperature, depending on location, for drying and molding. Humidors are great for this but aren’t mobile.

When you’re on the go, cigar travel cases will perform the same job, keeping your wraps shaded yet blocked from exposure. Reviewed below are five of the highest quality cigar travel cases for you to take anywhere, each of them has its perks and style. Be sure to view the Buyer’s Guide as well, so you’ll know which pick benefits you the most.

Best Cigar Travel Humidors: Comparison Table

Why do you need a cigar travel case.

Because they are the best way to protect your cigars from getting stale while you’re traveling.

• A cigar case prevents light and air exposure, keeping them fresh for longer periods.
• Travel cases also prevent other people’s hands from contacting your cigars (so no more foul smells!).
• Cases come in varying sizes, so there is one that will suit every need! Some can hold as many as five sticks, while others have room for up to 12 smokes. That means some are better suited for short trips while others take care of long-haul vacations nicely too!

What are the best features of a good cigar travel case?

The case should be made of a durable material that will last for years.

It should have room to store at least two cigars in addition to the accessories ( cutter , lighter ) you would need if you smoked it out on the go.

This is especially important when buying small travel cases because they may not hold more than one cigar without rolling it up tightly and damaging it from being crushed.

It’s also good to make sure your case has an attached locking mechanism so no one can come along and steal your stash!

This cigar case is elegant, modern, and conveniently small enough to carry.

It has a built-in hygrometer that lets you know when it’s time to add some humidity or change out the humidifier pad with ease!

Cigar Caddy 3400 Waterproof Travel Cigar Humidor – Best Heavy Duty Cigar Case

Heavy duty construction for all types of weather.

The Cigar Caddy 3400 Humidor is the best on the list in terms of durability. It looks like a smaller version of something you’d see in a military setting. And this is in no way a bad thing. If you threw it off a roof, the chances are high that the product would have little damage to speak of.

But why is this? First, there’s the hard plastic exterior. Very dense and thick, your cigars will be completely covered, shielded from drops and falls of any kind. There’s also a plastic rim around the edges that gives it a watertight seal. You could probably submerge it in water and have your cigars come back completely dry.

What Could Be Improved, Other Considerations

While the ability to withstand forceful impacts is always a plus, there are a few weaknesses to the design that you should know about. The greatest is the locking clips. They work as expected but may periodically pop open at times. *Red*And if you’re not careful with the way you pull them open, they could end up breaking altogether.*Red* Furthermore, there’s a sponge included that smells strongly of polyurethane. To get it out, you’ll have to remove and clean the case’s interior (discussed in the Buyer’s Guide). But even with its minor problems, the Cigar Caddy 3400 is strongly suggested if you enjoy the outdoors and don’t want to end up with wet and/or dirty sticks.

• Holds up to five cigars
• The case is designed to withstand hard impacts and drops.
• Completely waterproof
• The locking clips are cheaply made and tend to dislodge when closed.
• The strong smell of polyurethane inside the case (from the foam)
• The humidor lid sits close to the cigars, which could result in damage to large cigars (if squeezed)

Time C club 4-Finger Portable Travel Leather Cigar Case – For Temporary Long-Term Storage

Elegant and high in quality.

Ride in style with this high-quality leather cigar case. This sleek and stylish accessory is made of the finest materials, ensuring that you’re always prepared to enjoy a quality smoke. The wood lining has been polished by hand for an elegant finish while also providing natural storage space inside the box where your cigars will stay at room temperature without absorbing too much humidity from outside sources!

Accessories That You’ll Need Before You Use

If you need a humidifier and hygrometer , you’ll have to buy them separately, but they both should fit in the case so long as you ensure they’re small enough. Just place the hygrometer in the second slot that’s next to the pocket for the blade. And if you need more room to store your cigar for a short period, the cedar wood box easily lifts out. When this is done, you could easily double the number of sticks that could fit inside.

Or pack anything else that you’d like; the zippers are strong and will hold up, even under a lot of weight. Because it has more of a traditional design, this Cohiba humidor works best for people who need a place to store their cigars for a little bit longer than the other products reviewed but don’t plan to keep them inside for too long.

• The exterior and interior style of the case is well made with leather and cedarwood.
• There are additional pockets fitted on the back of the lid to hold tools, lighters, etc.
• The cedar wood holding tray can be removed for people who wish to use the cash for other purposes.
• A cutter is included with the packaging
• There are no gauges sold with the case to read humidity levels

AMANCY Humidor –  Best High Capacity Cigar Case

Take the at-home humidor with you.

Another Amancy product, the 5-10 Capacity Travel Case, is most beneficial to carry larger amounts of cigars. With this in mind, it’s the ideal product to take with you to cigar shops, where you can quickly place what you want inside after new rolls are purchased.

Although limited, you might even be able to throw in a few larger varieties, such as a Toro. It has a basic design made from PU leather. The lid is flipped open by unfastening the buckle located above the hygrometer.

How to use it?

This product is handmade. Because of this, you might find a few imperfections around the outside, close to where the hydrometer touches the leather itself. It’s nothing major, but it may force you to adjust the meter so that it’s parallel with the case. And there won’t be a need for you to get a humidifier. Everything is included with the case, save for a cutter.

If you’re new to cigars and storing them, the manual won’t help you to get the inside temperature just right for your smokes.

The safest bet is to keep things slightly dry until you become familiar with the mechanics. That way, you won’t have to deal with mold development.

As with many small humidors, the hygrometer isn’t very useful at pinpointing humidity levels. You’ll get an indication of how high or low it is but might find yourself gauging the cigars on your own, opening the top to feel if there’s more or less water needed. And if you are carrying around lots of sticks, definitely do it, so nothing becomes damaged. Regardless, this Amancy case is as acceptable as the other piece analyzed and will keep you stocked with more than enough cigars when you’re out and about.

• Holds up to 10 cigars
• Minimalist design that resembles a bookcase
• Sold with a humidifier and hygrometer that can be read from the outside
• Handmade leather stitching
• The hygrometer, while useful, is not as accurate as a digital meter
• Confusing instruction manual

Mantello Black Leather Cigar Case – Top Compact Humidor

The Mantello Black Leather Cigar Case finalizes its compact shape that’s small enough to go in most large pockets. Even with its three-cigar capacity, the level of work placed into the build will make it your go-to cigar carrier, one that might be used more frequently than any other cases observed.

Big or Small, Your Cigars can be Covered

One nice feature is the way it adjusts to the size of the cigars being carried. You’re free to make the top and bottom pieces smaller or larger in height. This also opens the door to good accessories. When adjusted higher, you can place a small humidifier inside or alternate with a small hygrometer even (remember that it will have to go in, so there won’t be a way for you to read the humidity level from the outside).

Maintenance and Cleaning

Get ready to do some preparation work before you use it, however. *Red*The smell of polyurethane is pretty strong, something you don’t want to tarnish your cigars.*Red* Once that’s done, everything should work as normal. Lastly, don’t push down on the lid when you have cigars inside that are long enough for the piece to move in. If that happens, things could get smashed and break apart from the force. It would have been nice if there were something that could stop the sliding on its own. Still, you’ll come to appreciate the painless way Mantello simplifies your cigar storage.

• Small dimensions make the case easy to fit inside pockets
• The size can be adjusted depending on the cigar’s gauge
• There’s enough room to fit small humidification devices inside with the cigars
• It Will probably need to be cleaned before use to get rid of strong chemical smells.
• The lid could damage the cigars if pushed with too much force when being close.

Best Travel Humidor: Buyer’s Guide

Next up are some valuable tips to help you select the best case for your cigars, including useful ways to case for the product before you begin using it properly.

How often do I Smoke?

Heavy smokers tend to need more space for their tobacco. A cigar aficionado will regularly try out many different flavors and switch up from time to time. So after one cigar is finished during a smoke, other flavors might be desired that are different from the original. Due to this, multiple cigars may need to be carried, according to what the user (or you) wants.

Picking The Right Capacity

You might not be a heavy smoker, but have something planned that would require you to need ample room to store your cigars, either for yourself or your friends. And if you are, that’s a good excuse for placing quantity over any other feature. Most cigar travel cases are minimal, small enough to fit in your pants pocket. Knowing this, consider getting a piece that’s big enough to hold at least four or five cigars total.

Cigar sizes are also varied so that you may possess something longer than usual. Or maybe you gravitate more towards cigarillos. Whatever the case, gauge the sizes on the cigars most favored by you and choose a case that best matches it.

How do I Clean My Travel Case?

Cleaning is pretty straightforward but does have a few steps. The reason you’ll want to clean your case before it’s used centers around the materials placed on the product when it’s manufactured. Polyurethane leather is the one most commonly featured. Most cases also incorporate cedarwood into the interior, but that does little to remove the leathery smell. The odor is something that can severely affect the quality of your smokes, so take these steps before you place anything inside.

There are two ways in which a small humidor can be cleaned

The first is by simply airing the interior portion out for a few days. You can do this by placing the case in a dry area.

Open the lid and leave it that way until you don’t smell anything inside anymore. If foam pieces are included with the case, take them out and soak them in distilled water for 30 minutes to an hour. After that, continue to let it dry. You’ll notice that everything comes out odorless once there’s no moisture left. It is here that you’re free to use the case.

The second way is similar but involves soaking the interior with distilled water first. It’s best to go no longer than 30 minutes for this to avoid damaging the cedarwood. The odor should be depleted after it dries out, preferably for a day or two. If you still notice chemical smells coming from the case after being cleaned, try giving it a little more time to air out, or place it in a cabinet or somewhere where the air is even drier.

Of course, not all cases will need to be cleaned in this matter. An alternative to the methods described would be to add a few pieces of tobacco from the cut tips, thus allowing those to overpower the chemical smell within a few days.

Where do I Plan To Use the Case The Most?

Whether indoor or mobile, Humidors must be set up in a way that coincides with the environment around them. If you live in a location that receives lots of cold, dry weather during the winter months, you’ll probably need something large enough to hold a humidifier. Less humidity will be needed in hot climates, so if you’re planning a vacation somewhere close to water or reside in a state that remains moist for most of the year, less water will be necessary.

Too much heat and humidity can quickly turn your cigars into moldy pieces of tobacco leaf. Furthermore, those who experience all four seasons will love the cases with the hygrometer and humidifier sold with the product. The more tools you have for your cigar storage, the least likely you’ll risk having to throw spoiled tobacco in the trash.

Traveling with a Cigar Case

If you’ve flown on a commercial airline in recent years, you should be familiar with the strict rules that security places upon carry-on and check-in luggage and the items inside or those being carried in your pockets.

TSA doesn’t restrict tobacco products on either domestic or international flights (outbound), so you’re free to bring a cigar travel case while in the air. Just be careful with humidifier tubes ; if the case you are interested in has one, note that some items containing liquids could be confiscated. This is often at the agents’ discretion, but if you’re a frequent flyer, you might be better off with a case that doesn’t have such accessories.

How to use a travel humidor?

It’s important to know how to use a travel humidor correctly to preserve your cigars. Here are the steps:

• Open up the top of the cigar case and remove any plastic holding it closed. This will give you access to an inner container for storing moisture beads, usually made from cedar wood or Spanish cedar (Cedro).
• Place these insides so that they’re about halfway full with distilled water or propylene glycol – this is where your humidity will come from while traveling. Close off the lid tightly and replace all other parts in place. These cases also have a foam insert that can be used separately, and some have dividers for separating different types of cigars when traveling.
• Allow your humidor to sit for around 30 minutes before closing it to allow the beads time to fill with water and produce humidity inside the case.
• Before packing up any cigars, place a small dish of distilled water or propylene glycol on top of them so that they’re fully hydrated for when you start smoking again. This will keep them moist while traveling and ensure that their flavor doesn’t change during transit due to dryness, which is a common problem smokers face.

Benefits: A travel cigar humidor provides an excellent way for those who enjoy different types of tobacco varieties without having to carry multiple cases with each type every time they go out and want something new.

Can a Cigar Travel Case Replace my Home Humidor?

It depends on how many cigars you keep and your frequency of smoking. Technically, the travel cases can be used in an indoor setting but are more sensitive to temperature and humidity changes in the home or room than a larger humidor.

The products reviewed should be thought of as an extension of a larger device. In this sense, treat your smoke in the same manner that you would do to perishable items during grocery shopping. When you acquire new cigars, take your case with you to ensure freshness until they’re transferred to something larger and more permanent like coolidor .

The final decision is up to you, and the best way to make that decision is by looking at your needs. Which cigar case will work for you? Does it have a zipper or magnetic closure, so nothing falls out on accident? Is there room in length and width for all of your cigars without them being crammed together too much? Do you want something compact enough to take with you anywhere, even if just as an accessory bag for carrying eyeglasses or pens around town?

Figure out what’s most important to you when buying a new cigar travel case before making the purchase. No matter which one fits your need better, they’ll all do their jobs protecting and storing your favorite smokes from now until forever!

#5 Can I use tap water to fill my travel humidor?

It is not recommended to use tap water to fill travel cigar humidors, as it can contain minerals and impurities that can damage cigars or affect the humidity level. Distilled water or a special humidifying solution should be used instead.

#6 How long can good quality cigars be stored in travel humidors?

Cigars can be stored in travel humidors for an extended period of time, depending on the type of cigar and the humidity level. Some cigars can last for years, while others are meant to be smoked within a few months.

#7 Can I store cigarettes in travel humidors?

It is not recommended to store cigarettes in travel cigar humidors, as they are not affected by humidity changes in the same way that cigars are.

#8 Can I store different types of cigars in the same travel humidor?

Different types of cigars can be stored in the same travel humidor, but it is important to keep them separate to prevent them from absorbing each other’s flavors.

#9 Can I use a refrigerator as a humidor when I’m at a hotel?

A refrigerator can be used as a humidor when you’re on vacation, but it is important to make sure the humidity level is within the proper range and to keep cigars separate from any food odors.

#10 Can I put travel humidors in direct sunlight?

It is not recommended to put a travel humidor in direct sunlight, as the heat and light can affect the humidity level and cause damage to cigars.

12 Best Cigar Humidors of 2024 [We’ve Tested 28]

• February 25, 2024

With over 20 years of experience, we’ve curated this list of the best humidors for cigars in 2024 after unbiased testing. We read over 57 humidor reviews from other cigar aficionados and over 410 customer reviews in the five largest online stores. Applying our criteria, we narrowed down to 28 products for testing. Of these, we already owned 9, and were able to borrow 11 from friends. We purchased the remaining 8 humidors to ensure a well-rounded evaluation. Our tests revealed that Case Elegance Renzo stood out as the top humidor, a result we are confident in sharing.

• ☑ Best Overall: Case Elegance Renzo Humidor
• ☑ Best Value: NewAir 250 Count
• ☑ Cigar Cabinet: Redford Lite
• ☑ Glass Top Humidor: Woodronic Enstatit A5043
• ☑ Wooden Humidor: The Deauville Tobacco Leaf Inlay
• ☑ Optimal Size-Storage Ratio: Axinite A5045 by Woodronic
• ☑ Elegant Humidor: Solana Desktop
• ☑ Travel Humidor: Scotte
• ☑ Handcrafted Humidor: Amerigo Luxury
• ☑ Heated Cigar Cooler: NewAir CC-300H
• ☑ Acrylic Humidor: Boveda Large
• ☑ Affordable Humidor: TISFA

The Humidors That Didn’t Make It To The List

Seal and lid, materials used, capacity and dimensions, maintenance, price/quality ratio, extra features, presentation.

Our criteria consist of eight crucial features: quality of the seal and lid, materials used, insulation, capacity, dimensions, ease of maintenance, price/quality ratio, presence of additional features, and product presentation.

Our criteria consist of eight crucial features: quality of the seal and lid, materials used, insulation, capacity, dimensions, ease of maintenance, price/quality ratio, presence of additional features, and product presentation. From March to October, we were able to perform our test with each cigar humidor. Before the test, they were all seasoned to 70% RH and 70 degrees temperature. Then, we placed three La Flor Dominicana El Jocko cigars in each humidor for a month, as this blend is known to age well, allowing us to observe its aging process in these specific units. We have a couple of SMARTRO SC42 Professional Digital Hygrometers to verify that the built-in devices are working properly. We used our HumidiMeter to check the moisture content of each cigar before and after storage in the tested humidor.

Case Elegance Renzo Humidor

NewAir 250 Count Electric Humidor

Redford Lite Humidor

Best Overall: Case Elegance Renzo Humidor

Type: Desktop humidor;

Country of Origin: the U.S.A.;

Capacity: 18 to 60;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 8.5/9/5.4;

Power Supply: 1 CR2 battery is required;

Ventilation: No;

Materials: A Wood construction with a dark walnut finish. Felt-lined bottom drawer for cigar accessories. Full cedar lining to retain optimal moisture.

Hygrometer: Digital hygrometer;

Humidifier: Yes, complete humidification system;

Temperature control: A digital thermometer is included in the hygrometer system;

Key Features: Glass top, a drawer for storing smoking accessories, Spanish cedar, magnetic enclosure, and patent-pending Hydro System™.

Check Case Elegance Renzo price on:

We have had it for about two years now, and it is arguably the best cigar humidor: made of wood, with no plastic or acrylic components. Case Elegance is easy to set up and maintain. Klaro has made this process user-friendly. There is a printed manual where you can read or scan the QR code and watch videos on how to use your humidor.

Renzo is a handmade wooden construction with lots of real Spanish cedar. This adds a wonderful wood aroma to the experience, but does not detract from the aroma of the cigars. We are pleased that the manufacturer planted a tree when we purchased this humidor, as they are partners with Trees for the Future.

The humidification system is really innovative. You can easily season your humidor with two humidor solutions, a pack of gel crystals, and a hydro tray. The setup takes about six days and seasoning is easy with the propylene-glycol solutions for different climates and seasons. There is also a Hydro Stick to separate cigars with different flavor profiles and quickly adjust the humidity.

It’s nice to be able to take a look at the smooth wrappers and show your friends what you have. So far, the digital hygrometer is working flawlessly and the hinges and cedar coamings still provide a sufficient seal to keep our stogies fresh.

Read our complete review of Case Elegance Renzo .

• A glass lid
• Low maintenance and season humidification system
• Pre-calibrated digital hygrometer that you can check without opening the humidor
• A drawer for storage
• There is no lock
• The disadvantage of the glass lid is that you have to ensure that your humidor is not exposed to direct sunlight
• No ventilation, so you have to open the humidor lid once a month to ventilate your cigars

Here’s a video showcasing Renzo:

Best Value: NewAir 250 Count

Type: Thermoelectric humidor;

Country of Origin: China;

Capacity: 200-250 cigars, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 13.6/19.3/18.5;

Power Supply: 110-120 Volt electricity;

Ventilation: Yes;

Materials: Stainless steel, plastic, cedar, and glass.

Hygrometer: Yes. A digital hygrometer;

Humidifier: No;

Temperature control: Yes. A digital thermometer;

Key Features: Digital hygrometer. Secure lock. Two cedar shelves and one cedar drawer. Soft LED lighting. Digital temperature control from 52-74F.

Check NewAir 250 Count price on:

NewAir has a high-quality door seal that helps maintain the desired temperature and humidity. When you open it, you’ll feel the cedar aroma of the shelves and drawer, mixed with the rich tobacco aroma of your sticks. 

We like the lighting inside, but we wouldn’t put individual sticks on the top shelf, but cigar boxes or boxed cigars. And the built-in fan does a great job keeping all your cigars moist, so you don’t have to open the NewAir 250 Count periodically to give the sticks some fresh air. Thanks to the fan, you also don’t have to rotate and move your cigars around. The humidor is not too loud; the noise level is around 35 dB.

We recommend the NewAir 250 Count with cooling and heating option. Temperature control is a key feature of this cigar humidor. Without it, you will have to monitor the room temperature and where your humidor is placed.

We haven’t smoked a single spoiled cigar that came out of this humidor. It’s good that it has a large storage capacity and can age many cigars well.

Check out our full review of NewAir 250 Count .

• Tight seal, similar to a refrigerator
• The humidor maintains a constant temperature
• Very well built
• Good looking design
• The temperature keeps a little lower than the setting
• It would have been good if there were more slots for the shelves
• The lighting can be improved

Here’s a video showcasing NewAir 250:

Cigar Cabinet: Redford Lite

Type: Electric Cabinet Humidor;

Country of Origin: The U.S.A.;

Capacity: 1250 cigars, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 26/26/52.75;

Power: 110V power source;

Materials: An oak construction, cedar lining, tempered and tinted glass.

Humidifier: Yes;

Key Features: Four drawers on metal slides. Three adjustable dividers per drawer. Removable tray with two adjustable dividers. Electronically adjustable temperature control. Electronically adjustable humidity control. Condensation control.

Check Redford Lite price on:

The Redford Lite features an electronically adjustable climate control system, making it a highly functional storage that keeps your cigars in good condition. You can save your favorite settings in the system’s memory. The control panel resembles that of a modern oven or refrigerator. 

The built-in LED lighting frame makes it easy for you to show off the beauty of your cigars, day or night. Anything inside is safe with the lock and key. It is suitable for retailers with limited space to display and store stogies. Humidity is also safe thanks to the refrigerator-style door seal.

Conveniently, the drawers slide easily, so you can reach the back of the drawer easily. You can adjust the space in the drawer to suit your needs and keep the different sticks organized. Filling up the water reservoir is a bit of a hassle. It is located in the lower back part of the interior. Another inconvenience is that the control and humidity sensors are located in the back corner and can easily be blocked by cigar boxes, so you will not get accurate readings. But you can live with that when it comes to properly aging so many stogies. Read our in-depth Redford Lite review.

• Suitable for a large collection of cigars
• There is a convenient control panel
• LED lighting
• Easy to pull-out drawers
• The humidor reliably provides a stable internal climate
• Inconvenient placement on the water reservoir
• The control sensors can be covered and the temperature and humidity readings will be incorrect

For a second perspective, here’s another person sharing insights on Redford Lite:

youtube.com/@theelegantbar9468

Glass Top Humidor: Woodronic Enstatit A5043

Capacity: 25-50 cigars;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 10.75/9.25/5.75;

Power Supply: No batteries are required;

Materials: Wooden construction with ebony finish and cedar interior. Acrylic glass display window on the lid. Spanish cedar liner and divider. Scratch-resistant felt-lined bottom.

Hygrometer: Yes. A digital thermo-hygrometer;

Humidifier: Yes; 

Temperature control: Yes. A digital thermo-hygrometer;

Key Features: Acrylic window. Storage drawer. An ebony finish. One cedar divider.

Check Woodronic Enstatit price on:

With the Woodronic Enstatit A5043 you get a wide view of your stogies. Another feature we like is that the humidor comes with two humidification options: two Boveda 72% humidity control packs or a crystal gel humidifier.

The front-mounted electronic thermo-hygrometer displays internal humidity and temperature. The lid closes well and tightly to keep the humidity where it should be. Even if the digital hygrometer is off by a few percent, it’s easy to calibrate.

Shipping is free for the U.S. and Canadian markets. From what we can tell, Woodronic offers fantastic customer support. 

The cigar accessories drawer with a handle is suitable for placing on the table in your cigar lounge. This way, you can keep all your accessories organized and in one place. A great little cigar humidor for everyday smokes.

Check out our extensive Woodronic Enstatit A5043 review.

• Wide glass window
• Luxurious ebony finish
• Drawer for smoking accessories
• Convenient and stylish drawer handle
• No ventilation

Wooden Humidor: The Deauville Tobacco Leaf Inlay

Capacity: 125 sticks, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 13.5/9.5/6.25;

Materials: A wooden construction with a dark maple finish with brass hardware and a Spanish cedar interior.

Hygrometer: An internal-mounted analog hygrometer;

Humidifier: Yes. A florists’ foam humidifier;

Temperature control: No;

Key Features: Sureseal technology ensures a flawless seal. One cedar tray and three removable cedar dividers. The surface is scratch resistant. Lock, key, handles, and a plaque that you can engrave.

Check Deauville Tobacco Leaf prices on:

This is something for lovers of classic aesthetics. The gold-colored hardware is not only a nice detail that contrasts with the dark finish, but also a useful feature. Especially when you need to move the humidor filled with sticks, the handles are a great help.

The florist foam humidifier is a green foam that florists use to keep plants moist. In Deauville, it is placed inside a plastic container. In hot, dry weather, you will need to humidify it once a week with a propylene glycol solution or add a 69% Boveda pack. Like any kiln-dried cedar humidor, the Deauville needs to be properly set up before you put your sticks in it. This takes about a week or two.

We like this humidor for cigars because it is aesthetically pleasing and comparatively inexpensive for such a storage capacity.

Check our in-depth review of The Deauville Tobacco Leaf .

• Excellent seal
• Stores about a cigar per dollar
• Fascinating classic look
• No power supply is needed
• Convenient handles
• Lock and key to keep your things safe
• Some of the glue seams are visible.
• The humidification system needs to be refilled weekly
• No ventilation system

Optimal Size-Storage Ratio: Axinite A5045 by Woodronic

Capacity: 100 – 150 cigars, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 10.25/10.25/13.75;

Power Supply: No power source required;

Materials: Ebony veneer, Spanish cedar lining, acrylic glass, brass hardware.

Humidifier: Yes. Double crystal gel humidifier;

Key Features: Digital hygrometer. Double humidifiers. Tight magnetic door. Brass quadrant hinge that absorbs shocks. Three large drawers.

Check Woodronic Axinite price on:

The entire interior of the Axinite A5045 is made of cedar and the exterior is made of natural ebony veneer. When you lift the humor, you can notice that it is quite heavy if it is made of plywood. This handmade gem is full of elegance and sophistication. In addition to its style, the Woodronic Axinite offers a larger storage capacity organized in three 8.25×7.25×3.5 drawers. This is the largest Woodronic humidor.

Axinite’s humidifying system consists of two crystal gel humidifiers that provide even humidity. The humidor seal ensures that the freshness and aroma of your cigar collection is safe. Perhaps the tight seal is why this unit’s fast humidity setup and seasoning.

And the built-in hygrometer works flawlessly. We compared it to our trusty SMARTRO SC42 Professional Digital Hygrometer. For three days, the two hygrometers had the same readings. With this humidor, we showed our picky and petty side to write “cons.”

• Acrylic glass door allows you to monitor humidity and temperature without opening the door and disturbing the humidity balance
• Magnetic door provides a tight seal
• Larger storage capacity
• Cedar interior is perfect for aging your cigars
• This is a well-made humidor with attention to every detail

Elegant Humidor: Solana Desktop

Capacity: 75 – 100 cigars, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 14.5/10.5/8;

Materials: Rosewood finish with fine wood inlays, Spanish cedar lining, felt-lined drawer, and brass hardware.

Hygrometer: Yes. An analog hygrometer;

Humidifier: Yes. A rectangular humidifier;

Key Features: SureSeal lid technology. Drawer for storage of accessories. Spanish cedar tray and three dividers. Brass inset handles.

Check Solana prices on:

This is another classic humidor option for lovers of elegant esthetics. It is perfect for your office desk or lounge table. The sleek look and convenience of the humidor make it an indispensable addition to your smoking experience. 

Thanks to the front-mounted hygrometer, you can keep an eye on the humidity inside without having to open the unit. The felt-lined drawer lets you store your lighters and cutters in one place.

The kiln-dried cedar interior takes about two weeks to acclimate for the first time. With the Solana humidor, we recommend calibrating the hygrometer every month or two. Also, we prefer the Boveda packs to the rectangular humidifier to maintain the required moisture.

Find our complete review of Solana humidor here .

• Front-mounted hygrometer allows you to monitor humidity without breaking its balance
• Beautiful, elegant look
• Comfortable brass handles
• No temperature control

Here’s a video showcasing Solana:

Travel Humidor: Scotte

Type: Travel humidor;

Capacity: 12-16, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, D/H: About 4.7 in diameter and 9 inches high;

Power Supply: No batteries or electricity source is needed;

Materials: Leather exterior and cedar interior. 

Humidifier: Yes. A bar humidifier;

Key Features: A leather appearance. Hygrometer on the lid.

Check Scotte price on:

When it comes to travel humidors, Scotte is one of our favorites. It’s sturdy and keeps our stogies safe when we are traveling or want to have a few stogies with us during the day. The leather look makes it the ideal companion for business meetings and smoking with your partners.

You moisten the humidifier bar with a dropper and distilled water. Be careful not to soak the bar, so that it leaks in the humidor. If you drip too much water, let the bar on a paper towel before reinserting it. You will get accurate readings if you calibrate the hygrometer every three months or before long trips. 

The leather gives the humidor a classy look and feel. And the seal is perfect for keeping the flavor of the sticks inside fresh.

Have a look at our comprehensive Scotte Humidor review.

• Sturdy and durable
• It provides sufficient storage for its size
• A handle would be helpful to transport the humidor without an additional bag

Handcrafted Humidor: Amerigo Luxury

Capacity: 25 – 50, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 11/10.5/5.5;

Power Supply: No power source is required;

Materials: PU leather, cedar lining, acrylic glass.

Humidifier: Yes. A round humidifier;

Key Features: A PU leather appearance. Acrylic glass top.

Check Amerigo Luxury price on:

This elegant-looking small cigar storage offers an amazingly tight seal with recessed hinges. Its size and sturdiness make it suitable as a travel humidor, but we prefer it for desktop use. The completely handcrafted cedar box with an adjustable divider keeps the cigars fresh inside.

This gem is probably the best humidor for beginners. It is as beautiful as a cigar accessory should be. It is as good at storing cigars as a humidor should be. And the storage capacity is perfect for someone just entering the world of cigar lovers. The storage is also suitable for an aficionado who wants to have some of their favorite everyday smokes on the desk.

Check our detailed Amerigo Luxury review.

• Convenient size with an optimal storage capacity
• Well-handcrafted
• The rubber gasket-sealed hygrometer lets you monitor humidity without having to open the door
• The built-in humidifier needs additional humidification to keep 50 cigars fresh

Heated Cigar Cooler: NewAir CC-300H

Capacity: 200-400, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 19/23.6/32.3;

Power Supply: Electricity source;

Materials: Plastic, Spanish cedar, stainless steel.

Hygrometer: No;

Temperature control: Yes;

Key Features: Built-in humidification system with Opti-Temp™ control. Two Spanish cedar drawers and four shelves. Door with LED lighting and lock and key.

Check NewAir CC-300H price on:

Compressor cooling and a heater provide the right temperature to keep your stogies fresh. The humming noise of this Newair is 43 dB. They say this kind of humidor is suitable for retailers and lounges, but they are also good for passionate cigar collectors. 

Like the other Newair cigar humidors, this one offers a perfect seal. This makes setup and seasoning quick. The plastic container can be filled with humidity beads or distilled water, but we prefer a Boveda humidity pack.

Check our thorough NewAir CC-300H review.

• Fully adjustable climate system
• Secure, tight seal
• Large capacity
• Lock and key
• Accurate temperature sensors
• The climate control panel is inside, and you need to open the door to operate it
• The lock is on the bottom, so you have to kneel down every time you unlock it
• No hygrometer

Acrylic Humidor: Boveda Large

Type: Acrylic humidor;

Capacity: 75 cigars, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 14.5/9/4.4;

Materials: Acrylic glass, Spanish cedar.

Humidifier: Yes. Boveda packs;

Key Features: See-through design. Removable Spanish cedar interior with adjustable dividers.

Check Boveda Large price on:

Whatever other experts say, we strongly recommend that you season this humidor before using it. That way, you can be sure that the cedar tray will not drain the moisture from your cigars. We seasoned our 2021 Boveda Humidor for seven days with the Boveda 84% Seasoning Kit, especially if you live in a dry climate. 

Even though we love handmade wooden humidors, we have to admit that this acrylic version is very practical to use and maintain. And it works really well. The seasoning is up to you, it is not mandatory. And if it wasn’t for the extravagant aesthetics, we would recommend this humidor as one of the top humidors.

Read our extensive Boveda Large Humidor review.

• Easy to maintain and use
• See-through design
• Maintains the humidity inside
• You need to be careful not to put it under direct sunlight
• You will need an additional hygrometer and thermometer

Affordable Humidor: TISFA

Capacity: 20 – 30 cigars, depending on the vitola;

Dimensions, W/D/H: 8.9/6.5/2.7;

Materials: A wooden construction, Spanish cedar, acrylic glass.

Hygrometer: Yes;

Humidifier: Yes. A humidifying bar;

Key Features: See-through top. Adjustable cedar divider. Scratch-proof bottom.

Check Tisfa price on:

If you need a small, affordable humidor, this is exactly what you have been looking for. The stainless-steel hinges and box seams provide a tight enough seal to keep your sticks fresh. The stored cigars will be fine if you keep an eye on the temperature at the humidor’s location.

Season it for two weeks, add ten drops of distilled water to the humidifying bar, and you will have smokable cigars for a long time.

• Affordable option
• Convenient size to use as a desktop unit or a travel humidor
• Sleek design
• The analog hygrometer needs frequent calibration
• This humidor isn’t for you if you have an extensive collection of cigars

For a second perspective, here’s another person sharing insights on TISFA:

youtube.com/@xifeicigaraccessory

The TISFA Cigar Jar and N/C Cigar Humidor didn’t hold humidity well, moisture leaked out and their hygrometers showed quite different results compared to our control SMARTPRO hygrometer.

How Did We Rate and Rank the Humidors?

We have drawn the decisive criteria that make a cigar humidor a quality product in which to store and age your stogies:

This is the key feature that provides humidity retention. The good seal and sturdy lid prevent the temperature from fluctuating too much. If your sticks are not stored in the right conditions, they will lose their essential oils and will no longer be suitable for smoking. Not to mention the aging of your cigar collection. The humidor is not on our “Best” list if there is no tight seal.

The materials used for a humidor affect its quality on several levels. First, humidity and temperature retention and maintenance. Second, durability and robustness. And last but not least, the aesthetics. We all look for these qualities when we choose a humidor.

Although it may seem like a repetition of the above criteria, this is not the case. Temperature is equally important for the storage and aging of cigars. Good insulation ensures a stable temperature in the humidor, regardless of the climate fluctuations outside. High-quality insulation helps maintain humidity and protects your cigars from the harmful factors of the environment. This includes crushing your cigars when it comes to travel storage units.

Optimal storage capacity in relation to external dimensions is a sign of high-quality design. This is the essence of the art of humidor construction: maximum insulation and large storage capacity in a compact size. This ratio is important when you choose a humidor for your home.

In short, you will use your humidor for many years, so its maintenance must be convenient. This feature speaks of the quality of the unit in terms of design, construction, and materials. The humidor should be easy to clean and season for long-term storage. If it is difficult to clean and season the humidor, it may affect the conditions for your cigars.

Do we need to explain this? This feature is important because nobody likes to buy an expensive item that is a waste of money and time. Besides, you run the risk of ruining some valuable cigars. On the other hand, a cheap humidor is hardly a high-quality, long-lasting product. And materials that last a long time and high-quality design are very expensive for manufacturers.

Additions to the main feature usually improve the overall product and make it better to use. Features like adjustable legs, lighting, or handles help make the humidor more enjoyable to use. Not only do we look for them, but we also appreciate the benefits of each additional feature. For example, a built-in punch is not as useful to us as adjustable legs, for example.

The presentation of a product makes the difference between a simple wooden box and the best humidor for cigars. The storage unit is an important part of the cigar lifestyle and cigar lovers are known to appreciate quality and good-looking products. That’s why we consider how manufacturers present their products to such an attentive audience as cigar aficionados.

Best Travel Humidors for Cigars – 2023

If you’re a cigar lover that’s always on the move, you need to check out these top travel humidors for cigars. Whether you are looking for stylish leather cases or built-in hygrometers for precise humidity control, or simply a compact size, we have the perfect fit. These travel humidors make it easy to bring your cigars along with you, no matter where you go.

Check out our list of the top travel humidors for cigars and never let subpar storage ruin your experience again.

Best Xikar Travel Humidor

Xikar 5 travel humidor.

This Xikar travel humidor is great for those looking for a basic storage and transportation option. Most importantly, your cigars will remain fresh and protected while you travel. But we also love that this can hold the larger sized Churchill’s too.

The drawbacks are that there are no slots, simply an egg carton foam liner. But this setup works well if you are looking for more flexibility in your sizing. Something else to note is that this does not include a humidifier. However, it does a really good job keeping moisture locked in, and these humidity packs are an easy addition in the case.

Note: if you are looking for a bit larger capacity (10 cigars), here is the bigger option for you to check out.

• 5 Cigar Capacity
• Box Size: 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ x 2″
• Airtight, watertight, and crush-proof

Best Leather Travel Cigar Humidor

Cohiba leather cigar humidor travel case.

This Cohiba travel humidor for cigars is one of our favorite high quality options. The craftsmanship is showcased in the design and high quality materials, such as the leather Cohiba case and the cedar wood interior. It also includes a humidifier and siphon, which makes it a great travel set, as well as a longer term storage and transport option

Which is why we think this option makes for a great gift option too. Especially since it has everything you need as a gift set, including a cutter and lighter. But make a note that the lighter does not come with butane to make shipping easier.

• 4-6 Cigar Capacity
• Box Size: 8″ x 5″ x 3″
• Includes: leather case, cutter, lighter & punch (2 in), humidifier, siphon

Best Travel Humidor with Hygrometer

Mrs. brog cigar travel humidor with hygrometer & humidifier.

This is a great travel humidor for anyone who only has a couple of cigars to pack, but wants to keep them as fresh and protected as possible. The sturdy aluminum casing with a textured grip finish makes it extremely durable. And the screw top and bottom make sure that it doesn’t ever open accidentally in transit. On top of that, the built in hygrometer and humidifier make it simple to keep your cigars at peak freshness during your adventure.

If you’re looking to travel with a higher quantity of cigars, however, you’ll want to check out one of our larger capacity recommendations.

• 3 Cigar Capacity
• Size: 7 3/4″ x 6.5″
• Includes: aluminum case, hygrometer, humidifier

Top Small Travel Case for Cigars

Amancy cigar travel case set.

This is a stylish pick for those that are looking to only keep a few cigars fresh while on a short trip or adventure. This option does not include a humidor, but it does come with a built in holder for the included cutter and lighter. So that makes it easy to pack on the go. And it’s just a great quality and good looking.

The drawbacks are that this case is not going to keep your cigars as fresh as our other cases that are airtight or have humidors. It also only holds a capacity of 6.5″ cigars and a ring gauge of 52. So make sure that this will hold your desired type of cigar beforehand as well.

Note: the lighter does not come with butane to make shipping easier. So be sure to add that when it arrives.

• 7.5″ x 3.1″ x 2.5″
• Includes: leather case, lighter, cutter

Best High Capacity Travel Humidor for Cigars

Mrs. brog large cigar humidor for travel.

This Mrs. Brog large travel cigar case is perfect for any adventure. The heavy duty ABS exterior and slotted foam interior will protect it from rolling around in your truck, being tossed around by baggage handlers, or any other mishaps of travel. This is a great option to ensure your cigars arrive to your destination in perfect condition.

One drawback is that due to the heavy duty casing and levels of padding, this case is on the bulkier side. So if you’re tight on space for your travels, this may not be the right fit.

• 15 Cigar Capacity and 5 Cigar Capacity options also available
• Waterproof, shockproof, and airtight
• Includes: humidor, cigar stand, cutter

Questions About Travel Humidors for Cigars

How much do humidors cost.

You can get a travel humidor for starting around $20, but as you go up in size and quality you can spend $50 or more. Our top picks of cigar humidors for travel includes a variety of price points to fit exactly what you’re looking for.

How do you use a travel humidor?

A travel humidor helps to maintain the freshness and flavor of cigars by maintaining an ideal humidity level.

The cigar humidor will have a sealable lid that helps to regulate the level of humidity inside, plus a lining of moisture-absorbing material, such as sponge or foam, which can be moistened to maintain the ideal level of humidity around 70%. This usually involves using an eye dropper to add a few drops of distilled water.

Some travel humidors also come equipped with a hygrometer for measuring the humidity level, ensuring that cigars are stored in the optimal conditions at all times.

This makes a travel humidor a must-have accessory for cigar enthusiasts, even when they’re traveling.

How often do you refill a humidor humidifier?

Usually you only need to refill the humidifier every few months if you’re keeping your humidor in good shape. However, the frequency you need to refill your cigar humidor’s humidifier depends on a few things, like the size of your humidor, the weather, and how many cigars you’ve got stored inside.

But, if it’s super dry outside, you may need to refill more often. Smaller humidors usually need to be refreshed more often as well.

The best way to know when it’s time is to keep an eye on the humidity levels inside using a hygrometer. If it drops below your desired level, it’s time for a refill.

Best Travel Humidors To Buy Online

Below you can peruse our selection of the best tried and tested wooden humidors that are currently available on the online market.

1. CiTree Travel Humidor [Leather Humidor]

• Country Of Origin:  China
• Type:  Travel Humidor
• Lining: Spanish Cedar
• Finish: Leather
• Hygrometer: No
• Humidifier: No
• Price:  $69.99 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

Marked by its refined leather-clad exterior, the CiTree Travel Humidor is an ideal choice if you’re looking for a cigar case to take with you to the golf course, your local cigar lounge, or other social events.

Lined entirely with Spanish Cedar on the inside, it can be seasoned just as you would the humidor at home. This ensures that the cigars you carry along remain in optimal smoking condition. In addition to this, it also employs an individual leather pouch for securing your humidity pack inside the humidor.

Priced right at $70, the CiTree humidor includes both a metal cigar cutter and a triple-jet lighter, both of which are designed to be stored in their individual leather pockets. All in all, this is an excellent travel humidor for your cigars if what you need is a fashionable case in which to carry the cigars you’ll smoke in a single session.

2. Boveda One-Year Humidor Bag [Budget Travel Humidor]

• Country Of Origin:  USA
• Type:  Humidor Bag
• Lining: Barrier Laminated Plastic
• Finish:  None
• Humidifier: Yes
• Count:  Small [4], Medium [20], Large [60]
• Price:  $7 – $15 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

While not strictly a travel humidor, Boveda’s humidor bags are very versatile indeed. The small version can contain three or four cigars, while we’ve managed to squeeze several boxes in the larger ones.

Indeed, these don’t offer much in the way of protection. However, either fit an entire cigar box in a large bag or even place a smaller bag in another container. As they come with Boveda packs, they’re fully equipped and can provide a year’s worth of humidity if used correctly.

We regularly rely on Boveda’s humidity packs as reliable and cheap storage. As such, we can’t rate them enough!

• Best Cheap Humidors
• Best Small Humidors

3. Davidoff Travel Humidor [Luxury Travel Humidor]

• Country Of Origin:  Italy
• Lining: None
• Finish:  Fabric & Leather
• Price:  $280 [ Buy From Davidoff ]

Davidoff’s lavish Italian-made travel humidor is constructed from knitted Jacquard fabric and leather that is welded together for an airtight seal. A pull-out tray is designed with a flexible wave design to protect each cigar while a hidden magnetic clasp seals it shut.

Davidoff travel humidors used to be supplied with their own humidity packs, though there have since been replaced by Boveda packs. The above one pictured is a limited Churchill edition, but there are plenty of other designs available.

You can read more about it with our full, detailed review of the Davidoff travel humidor .

4. Colibri Explorer [Premium Travel Case]

• Country Of Origin:  Unknown
• Lining: Leather
• Finish: Saffiano Leather
• Price:  $290 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

A more reasonably-sized luxury travel humidor, the Colibri Explorer offers a superior seal than the more affordable Lagute below. Capable of holding up to 12 Churchill cigars, it is made from Saffiano leather.

5. Lagute Travel Humidor [Elegant & Affordable]

• Finish:  Leather
• Price:  $45 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

If you’re planning to attend an event where you’ll be smoking cigars, the Lagute Goucho is an excellent accessory. Unlike other travel humidors, it’s very elegant with its leather exterior and cedar wood lining.

However, this isn’t ideal for storage over a long period of time. Firstly, it’s limited to only 6 cigars, which isn’t very many. While the zipper and seal on this are better than most leather cases, they aren’t airtight, so some moisture will escape over time.

6. Xikar 50-80 [Largest Travel Humidor]

• Lining: Foam
• Finish:  ABS Moulded Plastic
• Hygrometer: Yes
• Count:  50 – 80
• Price:  $70 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

If you’re looking to transport a large quantity of cigars, Xikar’s 50-80 travel humidor is an excellent choice. Crushproof and airtight, the high-density urethane foam carefully protects your cigars.

We’d throw out the foam humidifier supplied with this and replace it with a few 60g Boveda packs . Remember to use one for every 25 cigar capacities, as mentioned above. Otherwise, this is probably the best heavy-duty travel humidor for large quantities.

7. Cigar Caddy 3540 [Versatile Travel Humidor]

• $38.95 [ Buy On Mike’s Cigars ]
• $39.95 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

One of the most common travel humidor designs that was popularised by Herf-a-dor, Cigar Caddy is probably one of the most reliable today. With its airtight seal, it floats on water but is still waterproof up to 100 feet.

We would recommend this larger one that can contain 15 Churchill cigars, as the smaller models provide less versatility in terms of storage. Furthermore, we don’t use the supplied humidifier but rely on Boveda packs instead.

8. Amancy Leather [Affordable Travel Humidor]

• Lining:  Cedar
• Finish: Genuine Leather
• Hygrometer: Analogue
• Count:  3 – 5
• Price:  $23 [ Buy Now On Amazon ]

This is another great travel humidor for attending events. It offers a great seal and its cedar lining absorbs some moisture for long-term performance. However, we’re not sure if it’s Spanish cedar, so don’t expect the same benefits.

While it can contain up to 5 cigars, this largely depends on the vitola. We find that it’s complicated with larger-gauge cigars, and you’ll probably only fit two or three cigars above 50 RG.

We also threw out the foam humidifier and just used Boveda packs. This also helps cushion the cigars and prevent them from rolling around inside the tube.

This is also the only travel humidor with a hygrometer. While the analogue hygrometer isn’t going to be very accurate, it’s still a nice decorative touch and gives you a fair idea when calibrated.

Why Buy A Travel Humidor For Your Cigars?

Therefore, they’re not for long-term storage but for short periods of transit or stays away from home. Nevertheless, travel humidors aren’t exclusive to jet setters and can be an invaluable tool for even the shortest trips.

For instance, if you’re heading out and want to take some cigars with you, they offer the best protection and environment for your cigars. While small cases tend to be quite attractive, travel humidors are more robust and will provide more space.

Whether you’re heading to an event, seeing some friends, or you’re even buying cigars from a shop, they’re a great way to transport them safely. As such, travel humidors are a truly handy accessory for every cigar enthusiast.

Cigar Travel Humidor Benefits

Firstly, they need to offer an airtight seal so the necessary interior environment can be created. If they’re not airtight, they won’t retain the moisture provided by your humidifier of choice.

Furthermore, the humidor should be made from lightweight materials that are easy to carry. Yet, the materials need to be robust enough to resist shocks or being crushed.

Similarly, superior travel humidors are not only extremely crush-proof but also waterproof. After all, you never know what could happen when travelling, and it’s certainly a reassuring feature if you’re heading out to the beach.

All travel humidors should have strong latches to prevent accidental openings when carried or in your luggage. Meanwhile, some larger quality humidors will also feature locking mechanisms with combinations or a key so they can be securely stored without fear of wandering sticks.

Finally, some of the better, more advanced travel humidors will feature safety valves for air travel. Given that you may be leaving them in your checked luggage, you can open the valve beforehand to avoid the box breaking under low pressure.

As such, they tend to underperform and are really only viable if you intend to smoke the cigars sooner rather than later. However, this doesn’t necessarily speak for all travel humidors as there are some good ones on the market. Just make sure that you’re buying quality rather than an attractive design or low price.

Another common issue among travel humidors is that they tend to offer little storage space compared to their size. Unfortunately, this is partly out of necessity.

The majority of travel humidors are filled with Ester, Polyethylene, or Pro-Cell foam to secure and cushion the cigars. However, this is a double-edged sword as it leaves little space is left for the cigars themselves, let alone the humidifier or hygrometer!

Nevertheless, the foam has an important function in that it prevents the cigars from being loose inside the container, which could cause them to damage one another.

Still, this may sometimes result in not having enough space for your cigars. Consequently, people may try to overfill their travel humidors, we could actually crush them from the inside!

Buying A Travel Humidor: What To Look

When looking for a travel humidor, consider reading some of our tips to make sure that you buy the right one to suit your needs.

Consider Alternatives

As they’re available in a number of different sizes, you can store as little as a few cigars to even a couple of boxes in a single bag. When travelling with entire boxes, you can easily slip these into a larger bag, which is perfectly secure in itself.

However, if you just have a few cigars, simply put them in a smaller bag and then place the bag itself in a harder box for protection. Not only is this perfectly sufficient, but it offers a better environment for your cigars than most travel humidors .

Finally, despite their appearance, Boveda bags aren’t simply branded ziplock bags with an included Boveda pack. In fact, they’re made from barrier-laminated plastic with an airtight enclosure. Meanwhile, regular ziplock bags do lose moisture over time and aren’t as reliable as we like to think.

Otherwise, you could even consider a small tupperdor for travelling . While less attractive, it’s certainly cheaper and more effective than the majority of travel humidors on the market.

Inspect The Seal & Latches

The best way to do this is by simply throwing in a humidifier with a hygrometer and closing it. Once set up, periodically check the humidity to see whether it’s consistent. If it’s too low or fluctuates, then you likely have a leak.

Of course, the humidifier may be over-performing in order to compensate for the leak, and you may not notice a drop in relative humidity. Therefore, the best way to do this is over a long period of time as we did with ours.

If it retains water, then there’s a good chance that it also holds air.

Finally, the quickest and easiest way to check the seals is by closing it and giving it a squeeze if made from ABS moulded plastic. If it hisses when squeezed, then it’ll likely leak air even when under no pressure.

Finally, consider checking the latches as well as the seals. Some cheaper travel humidors come with loose or weak latches that break. If the latches are unreliable, there’s a high chance that the humidor could pop open and expose the cigars.

Check The Foam Type

• Ester: Probably the best foam for cigars, Ester offers an excellent cushion that protects delicate objects that can break under impact. Its cushioning is flexible and can store irregular-shaped objects.
• Polythylene:  Absorbs more shock than Ester and is made for heavier objects, PE is a great foam for most uses.
• Pro-Cell:  With its refined finish, Pro-Cell is better for displays. It’s more delicate than the other foams but is surprisingly dense.

There are also different cuts and shapes to the foam. You can opt for foams that have a flat finish, which is generally better for smaller, flatter humidors. Otherwise, there is also the convoluted, egg-crate-shaped foam that offers better protection.

Some travel humidors may actually have piped foam to give you a pre-shaped space for placing your cigars.

Use A Quality Humidifier

Your choice of humidifier for travelling will need to fulfil three requirements:

• Compact size
• Two-Way Humidity
• Low Chance Of leakage

Firstly, the humidifier needs to be compact because of the small space available. As mentioned above, there is usually little space for the cigars themselves, so a chunk humidifier may take up too much.

Meanwhile, traditional humidification devices are usually charged with liquid, whether they’re based on gels, beads or foam. As such, they may have a tendency to leak all over your cigars.

Last but not least, most of these traditional devices offer only one-way humidification. This means that they continually release moisture close to them, which doesn’t diffuse. This can easily cause over-humidification in such a small and, hopefully, airtight space.

As such, two-way humidification ensures that excess moisture is absorbed when the humidity goes over a certain level. Meanwhile, it will diffuse it only when necessary.

CiTree Travel Humidor

For all the reasons mentioned above, we largely favour Boveda’s humidity packs. Not only do they come in more modest sizes for travel humidors, but they are also completely hassle-free. Their membrane lining is very hard-wearing and resistant to breaking, and the packs provide two-way humidity control.

Their small  8g Boveda humidity packs  are conveniently sized and provide enough humidity for 5 to 10 cigars. However, we tend to go for the typical 60g humidity packs as they’re still relatively small and tend to offer the best performance and value for money.

Buy Larger Than Necessary

Finally, we’ve already mentioned several times that travel humidors have a deceptively small storage capacity compared to their size. As such, it’s always worth keeping this in mind when buying your travel humidor.

Firstly, their labelled count capacity may refer to smaller vitolas than you’re intending to carry. It’s quite disappointing to find that your case can only carry 5 robustos when you want to transport 6 Churchills!

Secondly, you may only want to carry a few with you when buying the humidor. However, you may want to carry even more in the future. Unless you’re planning to buy a different travel humidor for every possible scenario, consider buying one that can contain more than you need.

Finally, care should be taken not to overfill a travel humidor. If you compress the foam too tightly, it will absorb shock but put the cigars under unnecessary pressure. An overfilled travel humidor may even crush the cigars if you’re not careful!

Travel Humidor Preparation & Maintenance

Unless made from cedar, which will require seasoning , travel humidors are generally very low maintenance.

Our only advice would be to place your humidifier inside the humidor for a short time before placing the cigars. This ensures that the environment is well-prepared and that the foam can absorb any humidity if necessary.

Review: Adorini Travel Humidor Cedro

Designing an elegant travel humidor without sacrificing durability can be a complex task. Most forgo attempting to find a happy medium and produce humidors that are either encased in plastic or bear shiny, lacquered finishes that seem much too delicate for mobile use. But, as Ronald Reagan once said, sometimes there are simple answers to complex problems, and that's exactly what German cigar accessories company Adorini has done with its treatment of the travel humidor.

The Adorini Travel Humidor Cedro is essentially a scaled-down version of the company's larger Cedro humidor buttressed with subtle reinforcements to optimize its on-the-go functionality. Removable foam inserts fit snugly to the base and inside lid of the humidor, keeping the cigars in place, and a button lock has been added to the lid to ensure a firm seal.

The exterior measures 10 1/4 inches by 7 1/4 inches with a depth of about 1 1/4 inches. Without the foam inserts, the capacity is roughly 12 to 15 cigars, depending on size. The inserts can hold 13 cigars—one mold fits eight cigars vertically, the other holds five longer smokes horizontally. While some foam inserts used for travel humidors significantly restrict space, the Adorini humidor has some added depth to the inside lid, so both inserts can be used at the same time.

The inserts, however, while versatile, can't accommodate all vitolas. Some popular sizes, like coronas and toros, are too long for the vertical insert, which caps out at around 5 1/4 inches.

Long, thin cigars such a panetelas won't fit either, as the horizontal mold has trouble holding smokes less than 42 ring gauge. These slots are made for larger ring-gauge cigars, such as a Churchills. But the inserts are removable, so you have options. Use one, both, or none at all, depending on the cigars you're packing.

Of all the humidors in Adorini's portfolio, the Cedro line is a good choice to get the travel treatment. The unfinished, Spanish-cedar veneer gives the humidor a natural look and appears to be less susceptible to minor wear-and-tear than a travel humidor with a delicate lacquered finish. It's both durable and aesthetically pleasing, hitting that sweet spot we look for in compact humidors.

One feature that Adorini removed for the travel-size Cedro is the magnetic lid for attaching humidification devices. It comes with a standard humidifier, but it will only fit in place of a cigar. Given the spacial restrictions, you might want to swap it out for a small Boveda bag that can fit comfortably between the two inserts.

The price of about $120 might seem steep for a humidor that only holds about 13 cigars. Keep in mind, though, that the Cedro can double as a desktop humidor when it's not tucked away in your duffel bag. And it's still tough enough to serve its main purpose: keeping those precious cigars safe during transit.

1. best premium – quality importers deauville 100 cigar humidor.

The Quality Importers’ Deauville Cigar Humidor is a well-built and decently priced model that sticks out from the rest of its competition by having a unique design. Another thing that it is really good for is the long-term storage of a lot of cigars.

Apart from having a storage capacity of up to 150 cigars (depending on the ring gauge), it also uses the brand’s SureSeal technology that uses a combination of features to close the lid tightly and not let any moisture go in or out. Thanks to the kiln-dried Spanish Cedar, you also have a consistent internal temperature without a lot of fluctuations which may ruin the cigars.

The inside of this humidor is divided into two parts. The top part features a drawer and is removable. Both the drawer and the bottom of the box have middle dividers that further let you customize how you order your cigars inside. On the inside of the lid, you have a built-in humidifier and a brass-framed analog hygrometer.

While this keeps the exterior of the humidor clean, I always prefer having the hygrometer on the inside to avoid having to open the whole box in order to check the RH levels. Still, this clean exterior is one of the nicest in the industry. The cherry finish along with the tobacco leaf inlay on the lid is very recognizable and very unique in a sea of similarily-looking humidors. As a whole, this is one of the cheaper medium-sized models, and thanks to its decent practicality I have no issues recommending it to anyone that looks for something a bit bigger.

• Great bang for the buck
• Premium design
• Durable construction
• Holds up to 150 cigars
• Internal dividers
• SureSeal lid technology
• You have to open the humidor to check the RH levels
• The humidifier and hygrometer could be upgraded
• Some prefer a digital hygrometer

The Quality Importers’ Deauville Cigar Humidor is anything but small, allowing you to house up to 150 cigars at a time. Its high-quality construction and premium artisan-quality craftsmanship ensure you get a good deal. It is an easy-to-use storage solution with an integrated hygrometer and internal dividers.

2. Best Starter Humidor – Capri Mahogany 

Our Rating: (4.5/5)

At first glance, it looks like Quality Importers’ Capri Humidor does not have much to offer. It doesn’t have a glass top like most humidors on this list, nor does it have a luxurious golden handle. That said, its simplicity is perhaps what draws people to it. It’s also why I tagged it as the ideal pick for those looking for a minimalist-style cigar humidor.

It is made of wood veneer and boasts a handsome, dark-colored mahogany finish. It also won’t set you back by the hundreds, so it’s perfect for beginner cigar smokers. I’m sure you will also appreciate the gold-plated quadrant hinges, which stay out of sight when you close the lid.

Despite its clean and classic appearance, this humidor has a lot going on underneath. How many cigars can fit inside depends on the size of your preferred brand. However, at 9.63 x 8 x 3.5 inches, it is a medium-size humidor that can hold anywhere from 25 to 50 cigars.

Built into the unit is a humidification device, helping ensure your cigars have just the right amount of moisture so that they don’t dry out in storage. However, you’ll have to buy your own hygrometer, as it doesn’t come with one.

To keep your cigars in perfect condition, the inside is lined with kiln-dried Spanish cedar . As you probably already know, this material is scratch-resistant, ensuring not only durability but also overall quality. Made with the same material is a cedar divider you can move when necessary to maximize the humidor’s capacity.

Like other Quality Importers’ humidors, the Capri comes with the brand’s SureSeal technology. Basically, this means that the lid and the lower body fit perfectly to create a proper seal and keep moisture in.

• Competitively priced
• Classic minimalist design
• Long-lasting durable build
• Can hold up to 50 cigars
• Comes with a movable divider
• Has SureSeal technology
• Great beginner humidor
• Doesn’t come with a hygrometer
• No glass top

If you’re new to smoking cigars, you’ll find the Quality Importers’ Capri Humidor a good addition to your starter kit. It has a classic feel to it that will easily blend with any decor. While it comes with a built-in humidifier, you need to purchase a hygrometer separately. Nonetheless, it gets the job done and is definitely easier to use than other humidors.

3. Best Overall – Case Elegance Glass Top Handcrafted Cedar Humidor

One of the highest-rated and best-selling humidors for this year is the Glass Top Handcrafted Cedar Humidor from Case Elegance. The company has been making splashes in the cigar world for a few years now but their newest model definitely took the market by storm. It is a small to medium-sized humidor which is made out of authentic Cedarwood and glass for its top.

Typically, glass-topped humidors have a harder time maintaining their internal temperature since glass doesn’t insulate as well as wood. Still, this magnetically-sealed model proves to do a proper job at that. If you want to keep an eye on its internal humidity and temperature levels, you can use the front digital hygrometer and thermometer. It shows you the RH and the temperature (in Fahrenheit) with smaller numbers next to it.

The Case Elegance humidor can hold up to 50 cigars. For that price, there are far larger sized humidors but they typically struggled to maintain stable humidity and temperature on the inside. There is a wooden tray here which has a hydro tray below it. That hydro tray is used to pour in the cigar humidor solution which keeps the humidity on point. At the top, there is also a hydro stick which also serves as a divider if you want to hold different types of cigars at the same time.

Another cool feature here is the accessories drawer. Despite it eating into the internal space and capacity of the humidor, it gives you room to store your cigar cutter, lighter and other accessories. And if you want your humidor a bit more personalized, you can pay a little extra and have it monogrammed. That just shows you the levels of details the company goes into to make their product feel special.

• Sturdy construction
• Authentic cedarwood
• Glass top to see your cigars
• Digital hygrometer and thermometer
• Accessories tray
• Comes with a humidor solution
• Magnetically sealed top
• Accessories aren’t included
• A bit expensive
• Cannot store a lot of cigars

When it comes to humidors for sale, you’ll find that the Case Elegance Glass Top Handcrafted Cedar Humidor doesn’t disappoint. It has a luxurious glass-topped design, making it a fabulously styled humidor for cigars. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your cigars are protected, thanks to its magnetic seal.

With customizable temperature and humidity levels, it is one of the most personalized cigar humidors on the market. You need to use the digital controls to access the thermometer and hygrometer. Overall, it’s a decently sized humidor for cigars, allowing you to store up to 50 at a time.

The unique aspects of this unit are its hydro tray and hydro stick. Using these two components, you can keep the humidity inside the unit optimal for long-term storage. You can also divide your storage to help you store two different types of cigars in the same personal humidor. Its iconic styling is also notable, making it one of the more luxurious options you can get your hands on.

4. Best for the Money – Mantello Royal Glass-Top Cigar Humidor

While the Mantello 25-50 cigar humidor can’t store as many cigars as most of the other humidors on this list, it more than makes up with the looks it brings to the table. The Best for the Money rating is further justified with it’s #1 best seller award on Amazon.

With its beautiful wooden design and glass top, it will be an accessory worthy for every office desk. The analog hygrometer does an okay job and the internal cedar divider can separate the space into two zones giving you more storing options.

Where this humidor shines is its overall design and build quality. Everything here is perfectly built and made to match a premium theme. The rosewood finish is complemented by the golden piano-styled hinges. At the bottom, you have felt covering the humidor. This prevents sliding around and scratches on your desk.

To keep the cigars better insulated from the external environment, there is also a lip on the lid which prevents any fluctuations in the internal temperature and humidity. The glass top is made out of tempered glass again to further improve the internal insulation of the cigars. As I mentioned, its analog hygrometer isn’t very precise but is good enough for a humidor that isn’t opened constantly.

As a whole, this Mantello humidor is a good bargain for anyone looking for budget options that don’t compromise on quality. It doesn’t come with a ton of accessories, nor does it include a humidifying solution but it brings plenty of practicality for a smaller and cheaper humidor.

• #1 Best Seller on Amazon
• Excellent price-to-value ratio
• Rosewood finish
• Felt bottom
• Piano hinges
• Includes a cedar divider
• Tempered glass top
• The analog hygrometer isn’t very precise
• Doesn’t have a large capacity
• Lacks magnetic seal

When you buy the best cigars for the money, you need the best storage to keep them protected over time. The Mantello 25-50 Cigar Humidor is one of our top humidors for sale because of its luxurious styling and features. You’ll have two separate zones for storage, and an interior felt lining for added luxury and protection.

If you’re wondering, “Where can I buy one of the best humidors near me?” you’ll need a unit with many of the same features as this. The glass top is remarkably designed using tempered glass for added insulation. You also benefit from a straightforward design that makes it easy to use.

Instead of investing in modern, digital small humidors, the Mantello 25-50 is upfront about its features. You’ll have an inexpensive humidor paired with standard features, making it a fabulous solution for first-time cigar enthusiasts.

5. Best Cabinet – Prestige Import Group Milano Countertop Display Cigar Humidor

With cigar humidors, design is always among the most important features. These boxes spend most of their time on a desk where everyone can see them, so looking unique is important. This is exactly where the Prestige Import Group Milano Countertop Cigar Humidor does. It is one of the few cabinet-styled humidors on the market that features unique 4 glass sides and an analog hygrometer integrated into the front door.

The four glass sides of this humidor are lined with Spanish Cedar for better protection and a more premium look. The front door has a unique golden handle that allows you to easily open and close the glass door. There is also a lock at the side that allows you to secure what’s inside.

On the inside, you have a storage capacity of around 100-125 cigars. The cigars are divided via three cedar trays that are angled to the front of the humidor for better display of what’s inside. Each tray also has its own divider that allows you to store different cigars properly without mixing their flavors. Lastly, there are two large humidifiers that come with this humidor cabinet. They can be placed at the bottom and will last quite a while before you have to replace them. Make sure you re-calibrate your analog hygrometer before you start storing cigars as it can be a little inaccurate.

One field where this humidor falls short is its sealing capabilities. The front door is lockable but is magnetic but is still quite large and performs worse than most chest-styled humidors out there. This makes it a less-than-ideal option for people looking for long-term storage for their cigars. Rather, it is a countertop model made for cigar aficionados that love seeing and displaying their cigars. Still, even if you strictly see it as a medium-sized humidor with a decent capacity, it does bring a good value to the table, despite its shortcomings.

• Beautiful design
• 360 surround glass view
• Angled storage trays
• Spanish Cedar lining
• Lockable front door
• Magnetic sealing
• Comes with diviers and humidifiers
• Hygrometer isn’t very accurate
• You have to calibrate the hygrometer
• Doesn’t insulate well from heat and moisture

Those asking, “Where can I find humidors near me?” will love the Prestige Import Group Milano Countertop Cigar Humidor. One of its most iconic features is its 360-degree glass view, helping you keep an eye on your collection from any angle. You’ll also fall in love with the angled storage trays, effortlessly displaying your most prized possessions.

For added security, this is one of the few cigar humidors with a lockable front door to give you peace of mind. Magnetic sealing and Spanish cedar lining ensure your cigars won’t fall victim to pests or fluctuating temperature and humidity. This is the unit you need if you want to protect the best cigars for the money.

6. Best Glass Top – Bald Eagle Cedar Cigar Desktop Humidor Box

Glass top humidors are becoming more and more popular these days. Making a good one, however, isn’t as easy as it seems. Luckily, there are brands that specialize in these types of humidors and make superb products that will keep your cigars fresh and let you enjoy them without having to open the humidor itself.

This particular model from the brand can store up to 25 cigars and is one of the best small options you can get on the market right now, even though it is a little bit on the expensive side when compared to other humidors with similar capacity. Unlike all those other cheaper humidors, however, this one boasts premium build quality.

The whole humidor is handmade and its main material of choice is Spanish Cedar Wood. This wood is often used in humidors thanks to its unique insulating capabilities. It separates the cigars well from external sources of heat and moisture and keeps them fresh for longer.

While the lid doesn’t have magnetic closure or a mechanism of sorts, it does have gorgeous piano-styled hinges and a lip that keep it in place when closed. Also, thanks to the external analog hygrometer, you can also check the RH of the humidor without opening it. The bottom portion of this particular model is also lined with felt to protect wooden furniture from scratches.

Bald Eagle also offers a few more versions of this humidor. They all store a different number of cigars, from 10 to 50, but more importantly, they are different colors and are made out of different woods, giving them all a unique feel and aesthetics.

• Handmade construction
• Spanish Cedar wood
• Great gift idea
• Beautiful glass-top design
• Maintains temperature and humidity fairly stable
• Good for offices
• Felt underside
• The lid isn’t magnetic nor is it easy to open
• The external hygrometer isn’t super accurate

If you’re searching for an inexpensive humidor to keep large cigar boxes, this Bald Eagle model is one of the top solutions. Not only does it make an iconic gift for a loved one or coworker but also yourself. It has a fabulous felt underside that makes it easy to store on delicate furniture and wood floors.

You’ll find the glass-top design gives you a perfect view of your collection without being too over-the-top. Also, it has a handmade aesthetic that adds to the artisan quality of the general unit. With reasonably stable humidity and temperature levels, it’s a good choice for beginner cigar enthusiasts.

7. Best Large – Prestige Import Group Landmark Chest Style Cigar Humidor

There aren’t many large cigar humidors on the market that bring good value to the table. They are almost always super expensive and just not worth your investment compared to owning two medium-sized ones. The Prestige Import Group Landmark Large Cigar Humidor, however, is everything you need in a bigger humidor and then some. It is a well-built chest-styled humidor that has a really practical and smart design combined with a ton of useful features.

One of the main advantages of the Prestige Import Group Humidor is the fact that it can store a lot of cigars. And by a lot, I mean up to 300. There are 6 small drawers for individual storage as well as a main area with a lock and a removable tray. That tray has three internal dividers allowing for even more storage options.

These removable dividers also help you store cigars with different flavors and characteristics, although I’d advise storing different cigars in their own individual trays. There are two small rectangle humidors attached to the lid which do an okay job but the hygrometer, just like any other analog model, isn’t the most accurate. Still, for the money, there aren’t many large humidors that can rival the capacity and price-to-value ratio of the Prestige Import one.

• Extremely large capacity
• Holds up to 300 cigars
• Unique design
• Top drawer has three dividers
• Two built-in humidifiers
• 6 individual drawers for different cigar types
• Cherry finish
• You have to open the humidor to see the RH levels
• Drawers can be sometimes hard to open
• The construction quality isn’t spectacular

There’s no doubt that this personal cigar humidor is one of the largest you’ll find, offering storage for up to 300 cigars. Its fabulous design makes it a unique solution for your most expensive collections, thanks to its dual humidification. You’ll also love the top drawer with three integrated dividers for even more organization.

Regardless of the type of cigars you intend to store, this personal humidor is meant for you. There are six individual drawers, allowing you to keep your flavors and cigar types separate. Also, the luxurious cherry finish has an old-world appeal that’s sure to impress.

8. Best Medium-Sized – Case Elegance Octodor Cigar Humidor

Similar to the Case Elegance Glass-top humidor but coming at twice the capacity is the Case Elegance Octodor Large Cedar Cigar Humidor. It features a very similar design to other Case Elegance humidors but with a few key differences. The main one is that this humidor doesn’t come in the traditional wood finish colors but is instead fully black. Its internal lining is still made out of Spanish Cedar but the exterior features a piano black walnut finish that will fit any modern office or living room.

At the top, it has a glass lid that is relatively easy to open and close. At its back, it is supported by custom space grey hardware. There are two more space grey handles embedded into both sides of the humidor which allow for easier moving around. At the bottom front part, you have the classic accessory tray that is typical for Case Elegance humidors. It closes securely thanks to magnets that are embedded at both sides.

The inside of the Octodor can hold up to 100 cigars depending on their ring gauge. It has a removable storage tray that sits on top of the recessed hydro system. The storage tray also has a divider that can be either moved around or removed as a whole. Below the storage tray you also have the plastic hydro trey where you place the humidifying solution. The relative humidity inside is measured by the digital hygrometer that displays it at all times at the front of the humidor right above the accessory drawer.

And while there are quite a lot of unique and practical features on this particular model, the price is quite steep. That is why I couldn’t rank it higher on my list and it doesn’t bring the best value to the table. If you aren’t on a tight budget, however, and want a proper medium-sized humidor, this should definitely be on your shortlist!

• Unique piano black walnut finish
• Large capacity
• Accessory drawer
• Removable storage tray
• Cedar Interior
• Quite Expensive
• Struggles to hold humidity above 65% in the long run
• The thermometer can sometimes be off

The Case Elegance Octodor Large Cedar Cigar Humidor is beautifully styled with a cedar interior and glass top. You’ll appreciate the built-in accessory drawer paired with its large internal capacity. The stunning piano black walnut finish is the perfect level of contrast that brings the entire unit together.

9. Best Small – MEGACRA Leather Surface Cedar Wood Cigar Humidor

Not everyone has a large collection of 50-100 cigars and there are quite a lot of people in need of a small office humidor that will keep their favorite cigars fresh. Holding just under 20 cigars, the MEGACRA Leather Surface Cedar Wood Humidor is one of the finest and most superbly luxurious small humidors on the market currently. Yes, it does come at a higher price than other even bigger models but it does bring excellent craftsmanship and unique design to the table.

As I said, depending on the cigar’s ring gauge, the humidor can fit up to 20 cigars. In most cases, this number is closer to 15. The really impressive feature of this model, however, is its exterior and its design as a whole. On the outside, you won’t find the typical wooden surface. Instead, you will see that the humidor is wrapped with polyurethane (synthetic) leather. Underneath it, you have a premium kiln-dried Spanish Cedar, typical for cigar humidors. The lid is held by two piano-style hinges which are quite sturdy and allow for easy opening and closing.

One disadvantage to the clean external look is the fact that the analog hygrometer is located inside and you have to open the humidor in order to check the RH. Next to it, you also have a built-in humidifier that takes care of the constant humidity inside. The lid is magnetically held in place, making it seal better, allowing for good long-term storage properties, although there have been concerns with how well the humidor holds its humidity over a few weeks.

One thing that I really enjoy about this humidor is that it is so small and practical that it can also be used as a travel humidor . If you want a similar build quality again wrapped in leather, you can opt for some of the company’s bigger models that have storage limits of up to 50 cigars. However, they do cost even more, making their value less ideal than the one of the small versions.

• Perfect for offices
• Can be used as a travel humidor
• Holds up to 15-20 cigars
• Beautiful leather exterior
• Spanish cedar lining
• Magnetic lid
• Built-in humidifier
• Doesn’t maintain stable RH levels
• Humidifier often falls into the box
• You need to open the humidor to check the humidity

There’s plenty to love about this personal cigar humidor, from its convenient storage to its magnetic lid. With the ability to house up to 20 cigars, it’s one of the best small humidors. You’ll love the interior Spanish cedar lining, helping keep pests at bay and prevent cigar deterioration over time.

10. Best Budget – Mantello Magnetic Cigar Humidor with Cherry Finish

Last on this list but definitely not least out of all the humidors here is the Mantello Magnetic Cigar Humidor. It is one of the cheapest humidors you can get currently and offers plenty of space for up to 25 cigars. While its design is simplistic, everything is solidly built and does come together nicely.

The exterior features a clean cherry finish with no knobs, handles, or hygrometers. In fact, the hygrometer stays inside the lid right next to the humidifier. This means that you have to open the box to see the humidity levels but that isn’t that big of a concern as most budget models tend to have similar designs.

The top lid seals nicely thanks to the magnets in it. As a result, the humidor tends to hold its humidity relatively stable over the course of weeks. The piano-style hinges that hold the lid in its place are well-designed and are gold-plated in order to suit the cherry finish better.

As a whole, if you’re looking for something for your living room or office to hold your newest cigars, this is an excellent deal for your money and has all the essential ingredients to keep your cigars fresh.

• Great price
• Great for offices
• Piano-style hinges
• No felt on the underside
• Hygrometer isn’t accurate
• Has to be cured multiple times

If you’re looking for a 20 cigar humidor, you’ll find that this option is an excellent solution for the everyday cigar enthusiast. It’s pried well with fabulous finishes, making it a fantastic display for a professional office or cellar. With its high-end magnetic lid, you can guarantee this cigar box can keep your cigars fresher for longer.

11. Best Classic Style – Old World 50 Count Humidor

The Old World Humidor is yet another entry from Quality Importers, a trusted company known for its quality smoking accessories. With its world-class products, it is no surprise that beginner and seasoned cigar smokers worldwide adore this brand.

One of the Old World Humidor’s biggest selling features is its exterior. It is made with wood veneer and has an antique walnut finish. Printed on the surface are old maps of the globe, adding to its classic and sophisticated look.

Not everyone needs a large humidor that can hold upwards of 100 cigars. Therefore, those still testing the waters will appreciate this medium-sized humidor’s 25- to 50-cigar capacity. At 12.76 x 10.39 x 5.91 inches, it is the perfect size if you’re looking for a humidor to put on your desktop.

Like any good-quality humidor, the interior boasts a kiln-dried Spanish cedar lining. With this material choice, the moisture stays inside and the cigars’ aroma stays intact. Inside, you will also find a divider made with the same Spanish cedar material not only to separate your cigars but also to fit more by stacking them.

Beginners won’t have to worry about anything else because this humidor has all the essentials included in the kit. It already comes with one round humidifier and a glass analog hygrometer to guarantee your cigars don’t lose their quality. Moreover, the lid’s SureSeal technology guarantees a sealed-shut container.

• Just the right size for beginners
• Budget-friendly price tag
• Amazing quality
• Stores up to 50 cigars
• Has a scratch-resistant lining
• Complete with a humidifier and hygrometer
• Good gift idea
• Needs seasoning to ensure moisture retention
• Poor quality humidifer and hygrometer

The Old World Humidor is a convenient cigar storage solution for those new to this hobby. It comes complete with a hygrometer and humidifier, though you’ll want to upgrade to better options after some time. That said, its overall quality craftsmanship will give you peace of mind that your cigars don’t lose their quality over time.

Cigar Humidors Buyer’s Guide

We are all aware of the price of a good box of premium cigars. That’s why we often need to preserve their freshness at all costs. With such an investment, you wouldn’t want your cigars to lose their flavor due to insufficient or excess humidity. That’s why picking the right humidor for your cigars is crucial. But what exactly are humidors, how are they made, and what to look for when buying one? These are all questions that we are going to answer in this part of the article.

What is a Cigar Humidor and Why do I need one?

Cigar humidors are box-shaped devices that maintain a certain level of humidity to store different tobacco products such as cigars. They have been around for more than a century now and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. These humidors started as simple hinged boxes and have evolved into works of art that can precisely control the micro-climate inside them. Nowadays, cigar humidors have all sorts of additional features to them such as magnetic lids, built-in humidifiers, removable wooden dividers, digital or analog hygrometers, thermometers, piano-style hinges, tempered glass tops, and more. All these features add a ton to their functionality but also bulk up their price. That right there is one of the main reasons some models today have their prices quite high.

In general, cigars should be kept at 68-75% humidity to retain their freshness. Such humidity levels also protect the cigars from other issues such as mold and bacterial growth. Moreover, maintaining proper humidity levels also enhance the cigar’s flavor in the long run by helping the development of plume.

To learn more about the difference between cigar plume and cigar mold, click here ! Now, let’s dive a bit deeper into the actual materials some humidors are made of…

What are Cigar Humidors Made Of?

The materials from which a cigar humidor can be made are:

Spanish Cedar

American red cedar, honduran mahogany, other materials.

Let’s now go through the pros and cons of each of those materials and see why they are so dominant in the humidor industry…

Spanish Cedar is, by far, the most used wood out there. It can be used both on solid and veneer humidors by acting as its internal lining. Cedar is also heavily used to make the humidor’s drawers and dividers. Before it is used to manufacture humidors, most cedarwood is kiln dried to reach its full material potential. One of its greatest advantages is that it protects the tobacco in your cigars from tobacco beetles. On top of that, it also enhances the cigars’ flavor once they spend a few weeks marinating inside the humidor. Not only will it add its notes to the cigars but it will also preserve their flavors for years if they are kept at proper conditions.

Lastly, cedar is also a great thermal and moisture insulator. It isn’t very breathable so it doesn’t let a lot of the inside moisture go out nor does it let the outside moisture go in. This allows the internal humidifier to do its job and maintain the desired humidity levels after you’ve cured the humidor.

The American Red Cedar is another famous type of cedarwood that is used in humidors. While Spanish Cedar comes mostly from South America, the American one comes from North America. While it has decent storing capabilities, it does give the cigars a certain “wood” flavor note after they’ve spent some time inside the humidor. It is cheaper, however, bringing the overall price of the humidor way down.

Honduran Mahogany has very similar characteristics to Spanish Cedar, especially when it comes to its absorption. It also doesn’t give out strong aromas like other wood types, making it ideal for humidors. On the flip side, though, it doesn’t offer as good of protection against tobacco beetles as the Spanish Cedar.

Some other woods that can be used for the interior of the humidor are mahogany, cherry, maple, walnut, and oak. These are good but not as good as Cedar which is why they aren’t as common. Additionally, you can find humidors made out of plastic such as acrylic models. You can also find glass or metal humidors which aren’t as visually appealing but do a decent job at maintaining stable humidity and temperature.

Most of the humidors that have Spanish cedar lining have another wood type for their exterior finish. Most commonly that is cherry, which looks pretty and preserves the humidor in the long run. The humidors that have a certain type of wood only used in their interior lining can be classified as veneer wood construction humidors. Models that feature a single wood across their wall are known as solid wood cigar humidors. While solid wood humidors are expensive, they aren’t always better in terms of insulation. In fact, certain veneer wood models are much more superior and often cheaper.

Before we go through the different features you need to look for in a good cigar humidor, let’s first discuss the various types you can find out there…

Types of Cigar Humidors

Depending on their size, there are actually quite a lot of humidors out there. They can be all separated in:

• Personal humidors (or humidor boxes)
• Pocket humidors
• Travel humidors
• Furniture humidors
• Walk-in humidors
• Humidor cabinets

The personal humidor boxes which are most commonly used can be divided into small (10-25 cigars), medium (25-100 cigars), and large (100-200 cigars). There are some even larger humidors that can hold up to 300 cigars but they fall in neither category and often have a cabinet shape and functionality.

Based on their materials, you can also divide cigar humidors into acrylic humidors, leather humidors, glass, and metal humidors.

Cigar Humidor Features

When first choosing a cigar humidor, you will have to pay attention to a number of factors. Assuming you’re already set on a certain type of humidor, the rest of the features that you have to look for are:

Build quality

Seal and lid, humidity control, hygrometer & thermometer, additional features.

As we already discussed, humidors can be made out of a large variety of materials. Most models nowadays feature a two-layer construction that has an interior wood lining and an external shell. The interior lining is most commonly made out of Spanish Cedar. American Red Cedar is also common, although not as much. For the outer layer or shell of the humidor, manufacturers typically pick woods that look pretty. A prime example of that is Cherry and Maple woods.

Whenever you’re picking a humidor with a glass top, make sure that the glass is tempered. The reason for that is because tempered glass tolerates temperature changes much better and doesn’t allow the internal temperature to fluctuate as much. For the locks and hinges, most companies prefer using stainless steel as it is sturdy, lasts long, and doesn’t rust.

Some cigar humidors will have leather wrapping on the outside with handstitched corners. While these boxes will look really premium, the leather doesn’t affect their overall performance in any way. They are also much more expensive and are usually smaller in size.

The capacity of the humidor box is one of its most important features. While it is strictly subjective, the size of a humidor also determines how well the cigars age in it. For instance, a large humidor with few cigars in it will allow them to age badly as the relative humidity (RH) will bounce up and down. The same goes for a humidor that is packed to the gills. This is why you need to get a humidor that you will be able to fill to around 75% of its capacity. For most people, these are humidors with a capacity of 25-50 cigars.

When looking at the capacity of a humidor, also look at its dimensions. No matter what the company says, a humidor that fits 50 cigars could fail to fit 20 cigars with a larger ring gauge. So, to determine the right size for your humidor you need to know how many cigars you will store and what their average size will be.

Lastly, if you store multiple cigars that don’t share the same flavors and characteristics, it is good to look for a humidor with shelves, drawers, or large dividers.

The build quality is an often overlooked but ever-so-crucial factor that you should pay attention to. When shopping online, you won’t be able to immediately tell how well a product is built. However, a quick glance at the comments will show you what people thought of it and what their first impressions were. Some humidors will look deceptively good until you realize that, in reality, they are poorly constructed, have a bunch of defects, and the wood type isn’t as advertised. Some of the most common issues with humidors are their hinges not being aligned well, MDF floors failing, lids not sealing well, or magnetic humidifiers falling into the box ruining the cigars. Speaking of lids not sealing well…

Even if the humidor is plated in gold, if it doesn’t seal well you might as well throw it away as it will be nothing more than a glorified box for your cigars. People fail to realize that for a humidor to actually be a humidor, it has to hold its humidity stable. Some fluctuations are okay and your cigars will handle that but if your humidity constantly jumps from 50 to 80 and back, then your cigars will most likely get ruined in just a few weeks. This is why proper sealing is required. To do that, manufacturers rely on different methods and techniques. Some have a raised wooden lip on their lids that will create a barrier when closed. Others use locks and good hinges.

One of the most secure ways to properly shut a lid, however, is by using a combination of all of those as well as magnets. Magnets are being used more and more in cheap and expensive humidors because they are a simple solution that works. They will always hold the lid as tightly shut as possible and will prevent any outside moisture from going in. Rubberized seals are also okay, although they are quite rare.

The humidity control inside the humidor is done solely through the wood’s breathability and the humidifier. Almost all humidors nowadays have built-in humidifiers that are stuck onto the inside part of the lid. Others have humidifier trays that are filled with a gel which slowly releases water molecules into the air and keeps the cigars fresh. These are all consumables, so you will have to order more. Crystal gel humidifiers are quite reliable and work great, although some people prefer sponges or other types.

Having a way to tell what’s the internal humidity and temperature is one of the safest ways to keep your cigars fresh. This is why every single modern humidor comes with a hygrometer. Most hygrometers are analog and are often inaccurate. Nowadays, we see more and more brands using digital hygrometers which are slightly more accurate but are calibrated much faster and easier. They can also show you other stats such as the temperature, while analog hygrometers don’t. Either type will give you the RH in % and the temperature in Fahrenheit next to it if it has it.

There are numerous additional features that you can look for. Make sure to emphasize on those only after you’ve made sure that the humidor is well-built, uses quality materials, and fits your capacity needs. When done with that, look for:

• Additional drawers for your cigars of different types
• Drawers for your accessories (lighter, cutter, etc)
• Magnetic lids with locks
• Glass tops or glass walls
• Digital displays that show you RH, temperature, and more
• Bluetooth connectivity for wireless humidity control
• Additional humidifiers or humidifying liquids

Another additional feature that we haven’t yet touched on is the looks of the humidor. It is impossible to deny that these boxes are meant to complement both the cigars and the room they will stay in. Moreover, as most of them stay in furniture, various cabinets, or on your office desk, they must look the job. That is why some humidors have cherry finishes, piano black finishes, or glass sides or tops that showcase what’s inside. Some humidors even go as far as having black or brown leather wrapped around their outer shell.

Last but not least of all the features, you have to pay attention to the price. Humidors will vary heavily in terms of their price based on their build quality, their capacity, the materials used in them, and their additional features. For small to medium models, you shouldn’t be paying more than a hundred dollars, while bigger humidors can set you back a few hundred dollars.

And while all these features are important to create the perfect humidor for your needs, you can also trust some of the best brands out there with your money. They’ve been specializing in making humidors for decades now and most of them have solid reputations to back their claims up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should i look for in a good humidor.

There are a couple of important features that should be the center of your attention from the very beginning. The main one is the capacity of the humidor, closely followed by the materials by which it has been made, whether it has a hygrometer and a thermometer, and if there is a good humidifier on the inside. Only after you’re sure that those boxes are checked, you can go on with the rest of the features of any humidor.

How long do cigars last in a cigar humidor?

Typically, cigars can be stored for quite a lot of time in a humidor. That time is even longer if you decide to keep their cellophane wrappers on . If they are “naked”, a good period to store them for is anywhere between 2 and 4 months. That way, they will have time to age and further develop their flavors and characteristics.

Do you really need a humidor for your cigars?

If you only smoke occasionally and the cigars that you buy don’t stay for more than 3-5 days without being smoked, then you most likely don’t need a humidor. However, if you ever want to keep cigars around for longer and want them to be stored in the most optimal conditions possible, then yes – you definitely need a good humidor.

Is it okay to mix different cigars in your humidor?

While generally not recommended, you can keep different types of cigars in the same humidor. If you are set on doing that, though, make sure you at least keep cigars of similar characteristics and taste in the same humidor.

Final Words

Finding the best cigar humidors is not only going to be a matter of personal preference but also a matter of other key factors. The most important of these factors are the materials, build quality, and the ability of the humidor to hold a relatively stable humidity and temperature. Good humidors will come with magnetic locks that will hold the lid in place. They will also come with built-in humidifiers that will keep the humidity around the desired percentage. That will ensure that your cigars age well and enhance their flavors over time. Happy Puffing!

Cigar Caddy 3240 Travel Cigar Humidor – the best for portability!

The lightweight model was built to be practically unbreakable with its ABS molded plastic build.

It provides an airtight seal that allows the humidor to float on the water surface. This humidor also has a cushioned interior with a humidification pad, which can accommodate up to 10 cigs ready for smoking.

In fact, it includes two different detachable foam pads that shield cigars from accidental exposure to harsh environmental conditions.

The Buyer’s Guide:

You ought to be sure that the travel cigar humidor you’re trying to purchase provides enough storage room for the amount of cigars you intend to carry with you.

Roomy cigar humidors are ideally suited to cigar enthusiasts and sellers who have to hold a load of cigars during some time. Travel humidors are suitable for all tourists or people who need to drive a lot because of job tasks.

Yet humidors, who are too small, won’t be able to hold more than 10 cigars. Otherwise, they may affect the flavor of cigars, because the case would not be able to enable the atmospheric air circulation to improve the aging phase of the cigar.

On the other side, big humidifiers may induce the “overdose of moisture” effect. Overexposure of moisture may weaken cigars and damp cigars can induce unusual burns – a condition known as tunneling.

Of this purpose, you’re going to want to pick the perfect size to hold the same number of cigars you’re intending to buy.

Portability factor

If you’re interested in a travel humidor for cigars, durability must be a crucial thing to note when shopping. That is why travel humidors are a must-have model for cigar enthusiasts and travelers. The great travel humidor should be compact and lightweight enough to suit your pocket or bag comfortably.

Also, create a compromise of portability and scale of the package. Don’t lose the dimensions. Ensure that the fabrics are durable and compact for small-scale cigars and cigarettes.

A seal is what keeps each humidor dry inside. Unless the seal is imperfect, you would not be able to sustain the required level of humidity, which will vary from 65 to 70%. A full-fledged travel cigar humidor will contain an airtight sealing device that retains a particular moisture condition to prolong the cigar’s ingenuity.

Many top-notch travel humidors are constructed of cedar. They are compact wood travel humidifiers providing scent and insulation. These are not the same as the cedar used to produce furniture pieces. This wood is also renowned for its longevity as it stretches and grows over time, avoiding cracking. This could be a pricey option. You may seek the humidor made with such natural wood materials such as mahogany, walnut, and cherry.

Additional options

Many models have in-built attachments. Prioritize travel humidifiers that have default thermometers and hygrometers. They may help you check and set the humidity and temperature levels inside the box to keep the cigs fresh.

When you are shopping for extra attachments somewhat close to the humidor, try purchasing an automatic cigarette roller. They’ve got a good build quality, they’re durable, and they can hold the perfect amount of tobacco. Such attachments are pretty simple and specifically built to save time and resources.

FAQ Travel Cigar Humidors

Can you keep cigars in a travel humidor.

Lightweight and sturdy travel humidors are intended to keep cigars on the road. Travel humidors are engineered to safely hold your cigars when you need them, whether you’re traveling, taking a flight or climbing a mountain. However, it is not recommended to store cigars in a travel-friendly humidor at home. These devices are mostly temporary solutions. 

How long do cigars last in a travel humidor?

Typically, travel cigar humidors are good for keeping up to 50 cigars for a few weeks if you keep the proper temperature and RH levels (70F and 70% of relative humidity). However, the smallest travel humidors can keep cigars fresh only for a few days. In other words, it is always a wise choice to keep your stogies in such a travel case for 5-10 days, no longer. 

What is the best travel cigar humidor?

It’s a serious expense to purchase a travel cigar humidor if you prefer to carry the cigars everywhere you go because you can’t afford to waste time or resources buying a fresh one so much. For a long period, you have to love both the commodity and the parts that come with it. Here are the things to consider when choosing a travel cigar humidor: 

• Durability. To withstand the wear and tear of everyday usage, your tool must be robust. As a travel humidor, it would have to cope with temperatures that might hurt your cigars, from hot to cool. It should come as no surprise that to guarantee your cigars are secure and well preserved, only premium materials should be used for construction;
• Storage and interior size . Cigars come in varying types, but it does not suggest that designers have to compete with the ability offered by any travel humidor. The main aim of every device is to take care of your cigars properly. Of course, both instruments have limitations to how many cigars they can fit, but that’s not meant to be too high or even too short. Substantial storage must be provided, but not at the risk of neglecting other facets. It needs to be designed in a way that means that you can take a large number of cigars without any trouble while you are flying. The situation should also be fairly flexible to handle multiple sizes;
• Portability. Lastly, to guarantee that you will appreciate a cigar anytime your humidor must be portable. You may also want to take some time off after a week of hard work or even further by heading to your friend’s home, camping or even on holiday. The travel humidor must be easy to carry and should not be inconvenient. Without being intimidating, it should work in your backpack, purse, or vehicle. Although the humidor determines where to store your cigars, you don’t have to worry about how to carry the humidor with you. It must be big enough to hold several cigars, but not so large that carrying on your travels becomes problematic;

Pay attention to such popular brands of travel cigar humidors – Cigar Caddy and Xikar. They create ultra-travel humidors for transporting your cigars. 

How should you set up a travel humidor?

A travel humidor is a distinctive accessory that helps ensure that when you pass from one place to another, your cigars remain in perfect condition. In order to hold the cigars in excellent shape, the humidor must be able to fulfill its primary task.

Opening the case is the first move in setting up a cigar humidor, then identifying the humidification disk on the top part. Use an eyedropper, soaked in distilled water to make around 8 drops of water onto the humidifying disk for better performance. Before wiping off any water traces, let the water be fully drained by the disc. Your travel moisturizer is then able to be seasoned.

Hold the temperature, which is not high, at a certain degree (about 70F). The humidity of your humidor could be increased by some sort of abrupt transition, thereby defeating the objective of holding your cigars in peak shape.

While the travel humidor retains your cigars’ temperature, it also acts as a shield that protects your cigars, thereby minimizing the risk of transit injury.

Are travel humidors worth the investment?

Although small cases seem to attract quite a ton, humidors are more durable and offer more space. They are a perfect way to move them comfortably, if you’re going to a case, meeting some buddies or even purchasing cigars from a supermarket.

The things to look for in a travel humidor:

• Full-grain leather;
• Sturdy metal zippers;
• Enough room to stow cigars along with different accessories (lighter, Boveda packs, etc.);
• Add-ons like a pocket for a smartphone or business cards;

When it comes to cigar humidors for flying, they still go larger. Travel cases are fantastic, but with either one, you can’t go wrong. And it’s still nice to have more space because they’re eventually going to need it.

How can you travel with a cigar?

No one can deter you as you’re going out of town, whether it’s for company or fun, and have plans to carry favorite cigars. Only bear in mind a few of the following suggestions and you’ll be fine:

• Proper settings. Cigars, except for the consistency that a sponge returns to its form when it has been stood on or compressed, are brittle and mimic sponges. Cigars react to humidity and temperature (70% humidity and 70F are optimal environments) and can consume a multitude of flavors and tastes from the atmosphere in which they are stored. Before you pack up those stogies you’re attempting to stow away under an old pair of socks, bear that in mind;
• Careful packing. When they’re squeezed into an already overstuffed suitcase, cigars don’t do well, nor is it a smart idea to house them in a container with so much room to roll or jump around. The majority of problems confronting your precious cigar cargo as you intend to carry a few on the road are fixed by a quality cigar travel case. Travel cases vary from plain breast pocket sleeves that mostly fit 3-4 cigars and are made of wood or leather, to heavy-duty plastic ABS-molded chambers with foam inserts, airtight seals, and multi-layer cigar rooms. If you’re only an occasional smoker, though having a travel humidor for your cigars may sound excessive, bear in mind that they come in a variety of sizes, including smaller versions that carry just 5 cigars and can comfortably fit in a compact backpack;
• Ziplock bags can be useful for the carry-on method . If you’re only going for a quick trip and you intend to enjoy your cigars within several days of departure, your cigars would probably be just fine within a Ziplock bag (with a significant seal) if the bag is held within a kind of tight jar that prevents the cigars from being smashed. If your cigars need to last more than a week, we suggest that you pick up a moisture pouch or other sort of humidification so that your cigars have access to sufficient amounts of moisture;

If you are boarding, it is usually advised that you take your cigarettes, if necessary, onto the plane within a carry-on. Checked luggage is prone to temperature variations of all sorts, which are not desirable. Because of temperature and humidity shifts, cigars can extend and compress, and the wrapper of a cigar can break in the process.

Final thoughts 

As you might have noticed, travel cigar humidors should not be over-pricey to offer exceptional quality. Price is not the only factor to consider – these little boxes should be waterproof, portable and have special latches for additional security. Invest in such humidors and you won’t regret every time when smoking a cigar far from home!

Portable humidors for cigs are necessary for aficionados who travel a lot. One of the loyal readers (he prefers to smoke expensive stogies while playing golf in Florida, though lives in Maine) hinted this idea for the review of the best travel-ready humidor cases. And after receiving this good idea I immediately started the series of tests of almost 30 models. As a result, I picked the best of the best all-in-one portable items that you can buy for yourself or for a friend who likes extravagant smoking.

Best portable humidifying boxes, according to my tests and ratings:

• Cigar Caddy can store up to 10 pieces in a waterproof case;
• Mrs. Brog is a very good waterproof box, with a separate hygrometer and humidifier for 10 cigars;
• Guardsman with an in-built humidifier disc;

So many travel-ready humidors: how to choose?

During almost two weeks of tests, I concluded that portable humidifying cases should be picked according to the travel’s purpose:

• For two days – a durable metal box will do the job for a few stogies, with an average level of humidification;
• For a large size – choose the substantial humidor, a sort of a mini-case made of leather or wood. Pick the models with foam cradles for every cigar;
• For a long trip by plane or ship – buy a portal model with an in-built hygrometer to track down the moisture level inside, aim for a pressure relief valve;

Thanks for reading my dedicated guide to buyers of travel cigar humidors! Instead of a conclusion, I’d like to say that all humidors included in the list are perfect in their own way. These little boxes will make your cigars nice and dry during short and long trips in planes, on ships, in cars and just in your travel bag no matter whenever you are going.

I described my requirements applied during the tests of travel-ready humidors and right now I’d like to hear your criteria for travel-ready humidifying cases. Leave your feedback – I regularly update my reviews, according to your comments.

How to Cut a Cigar With Scissors

This post has 7 comments.

While traveling it’s a great idea to have a humidor. It keeps all of your cigars safe in one place and also keeps the tobacco from getting damaged. I’ve used one of these every time I travel and it’s been great. I recommend it completely.

I rarely smoke cigars, so when I do especially when travelling, it’s nice to have a quality one on hand, and hoping that the travel cigar humidor I have helps to keep them fresher and longer. Cigar candy has been my favourite for about two months now and so far so good. I love it and really impressed!

Had a Guardsman and I’m not going to lie, it was pretty good. Then someone bought me a Cigar Caddy. I like it a bit more. The fact that it’s waterproof came in handy once (who knew?) and all I know is I’m never buying anything that isn’t waterproof.

It’s great to own any of these. Lagute and G galiner are just smaller but still very good. If you want to take more cigars with you, you’ll go with a Guardsman but Cigar Caddy seems to be the “Daddy” of them all :))

Love the post Jacob. One of these were actually recommended to me on a cigar blog a few days ago :). Do you have any experience using the acrylic humis for travel. I have been thinking about giving it a try my self.

Hello, Chris! I used an acrylic humidor by XIFEI in my last travel, and I can recommend it! It’s a great choice for you.

These are great, some look really fancy… like the Lagute travel cigar humidor… I am digging that alligator like skin pattern.
