Best Travel Humidors
A travel humidor is a great investment if you plan to leave the house with your cigars. Vacation, camping, hunting, and golfing are all occasions that call for a portable humidor. A travel humidor should have a tight seal, be durable, and offer a bit of padding to prevent your cigars from bouncing around during transit. In addition to protecting your cigars, the biggest benefit of a good travel humidor is that you can bring enough cigars to share with your buddies when you’re getting together to smoke. Here are some well-made and reliable travel humidors that pass our litmus test for quality and value.
Xikar Travel Humidor
The Xikar Travel Humidor sets the benchmark for simplicity, durability, and utility. An airtight and watertight seal runs the perimeter of the lid and locks humidity inside a crushproof ABS molded plastic cavity. A pair of heavy latches snap shut to fortify the seal while a high-density urethane foam gently pads your cigars on the inside. A small foam humidifier is included and can be charged with propylene glycol solution to deliver a consistent level of humidification. Or, insert a Boveda humidification pack instead. Decide if the 5, 10, or 15-cigar capacity suits your needs best, and take your next hike through the woods with the confidence knowing your cigars will be in one piece when you pull them out of your backpack. All Xikar products come with lifetime warranty.
Lotus ‘Big Boy’ Gift Set
The Lotus ‘Big Boy’ Gift Set offers the complete package with a travel humidor, torch lighter, and cigar cutter. The 5-cigar travel case is available in a collection of popular finishes and includes a convenient reservoir you can fill with propylene glycol solution, or you can substitute a Boveda pack in its place. The crushproof plastic material is lined with soft contoured foam designed to cradle your cigars without squeezing them too tightly. Also included is a flip-top Vertigo Renegade torch lighter with four-red hot jets and a built-in punch cutter at the bottom. If you prefer a straight cut, you’re in luck because the Big Boy is equipped with a double guillotine straight cutter that can easily slice the cap on a 64 ring gauge cigar. The Lotus ‘Big Boy’ makes a great all-in-one accessory starter kit for new cigar lovers.
Boveda Humidor Bag
Boveda Humidor Bags offer the most convenient solution for travelers because they’re lightweight, flexible, and take up the smallest amount of space in a suitcase or carry-on bag. Boveda humidor bags are made of protective, high-density plastic with a firm zipper. Inside, each bag is equipped with a Boveda humidity pack guaranteed to provide a consistent level of relative humidity (RH) for up to a year. Consider storing your cigars in a humidor bag and placing the bag inside an empty cigar box for maximum protection. Or you can order the large size and slide a whole box, depending on the dimensions, into the bag. A humidor bag is a great option if you plan to buy cigars to bring home when you’re on vacation. Choose the small (holds up to 5 cigars), medium (holds up to 15 cigars), or large (holds 60-80 cigars) size.
