I brought a xikar "cassette style" case I think u call it wrapped in leather, with cedar inside a metal or similar top/ bottom but due to heat fluctuations in my car where case normally lives the leather started to unravel from the cardboard under it . I actually thought it was all leather anyway that's another story.
So I'm now tossing up ideas for a new case.
It will mainly be for carrying my cigars whilst I'm in the car, on my boat, or short interstate family trips in my carry on luggage. Then there would be the other longer trips.
I stumbled across these on etsy ,1st one I'd prefer as I like the relaxed natural look but a little worried if I travel with it in my luggage my cigars may still get crushed. Plus it's just leather no cedar ( is cedar necessary ?) I could always line it with some spills I have, also it's not exactly air tight . So I'd be dry boxing the cigars as I go hahaha bonus !
This 2nd one obviously stronger more air tight same thing no cedar but I could add it here too
I think I may have just given myself the answer the top pic for my normal let's say car use and I might need to buy a more sturdy plastic lock /clamp style one I've seen for any longer travels etc .
What you reckon fellas ? Cheers
