When I travel on short trips, like weekend drives to Phoenix or Denver to go see a hockey game, I use a foam-lined Xikar travel case. It holds 5 cigars (though they make large ones), and has a small credo that’s good for a couple of days. For my occasional trips overseas, I use a use a cedar-lined hard shell travel humidor that will hold 7-10 cigars (depending on ring gauge) and put a water pillow in there that I can recharge if necessary. Of course when I travel to Europe I can always pick up a couple of Cubans to enjoy while there, but even Dominican and Honduran cigars are highly expensive in Europe. I think the travel humidor and some domestically-sourced cigars are the best plan for overseas travel, and if you don’t travel often, don’t forget to re-season your travel humidor a couple of days before you leave.
