Cases for Big Ring Gauges?

[vperlman]

Please forgive the cross-post. I have started smoking a fair number of large ring gauge cigars, i.e. 60-66. All of my cigar cases max out somewhere in the mid 50's. Does anyone know of any cases that will hold 60+ gauge cigars (besides ziplok baggies)? TIA.

do you mean small 3 cigar cases? if so, you are correct. they are usually for smaller RG cigars.

Yup, the 2-3 cigar sized leather or plastic cases that you can fit in a jacket pocket. Ron, I think I see a marketing opportunity for you... :agreeclen

 

[RonC]

how long are the cigars that you smoke?

 

[vperlman]

They vary, but mostly from 5 to 6 inches.

Found some at Cuban Crafters that hold up to 60 gauge, but I'd like to find something that will go up to 66.

Make one out of wood for yourself.

Drill press and some sandpaper...

I plan on doing that as soon as I get some time off from school.

I found one at habanos & hermanos. And I can't post the url but the item number is 1208. The description says it holds 64 gauge. It's called Don Salvatore 3 Finger 64 Ring Cedar Lined Leather Case

The letubes from Ron may not be rated at that large but I have a friend who uses that all the time and his favorite size is 6 60. Not sure if he can get all 3 in or just 2 but it does work. I have seen him struggle a bit but never seen him damage a cigar

Thanks for the suggestions!

Actually, Fuente/JC Newman just came out with a new 60+ RG Craftsman's Bench Leather case. Just ask your local B&M to get you one, should be around 25/30 bucks.

don't buy leather cases from Cuban Crafters......... at least not the the bordeaux colored ones for $19.99. i bought two; a 2 finger and a 3 finger.......they were made in India.....and had a toxic strong odor..... had to return them.....and had to keep after Cuban Crafters to send the refund..... they finally did.......

Boy, I wish I had been able to read your post before ordering. I got the 3-finger burgundy case for $20. You really do get what you pay for. Quality is crappy, and as you say, it smells. The outside smells like recently tanned leather, which is OK, but the inside smells a different kind of funky. Since I only got one, it isn't worth the postage and hassle to return it; otherwise, I would. Instead, I'm going to try letting it air out and lining it with Spanish cedar strips to see if it can be salvaged. Otherwise, i'll just chalk it up to experience.

Ron,
How about the replacement foam inserts you have for the 5, 10 and 15 count cigar caddy. I haven't tried a 66 rg in mine yet but it seems like they may fit.

should work fine. the foam is soft enough to take the shape of a larger RG cigar

Duh! Should have read this more carefully. Didn't know you were just talking about the 2-3 cigar sized leather cases. okemyeye
