How To Travel With Cigars
There is nothing better
than sitting at home with a fine cigar and some
scotch. But what if you want the same pleasure
while on the go? Bringing your prized cigars with
you on business trips, outtings, meetings, or
vacation is actually very simple if done
correctly.
The first thing you need to do is make
sure that you have the correct device to store
your cigars, travel humidors. If you are going to be out for
a few hours then you can use a simple leather
cigar holder or Ziplock bag. If you plan on being
out for a day or two then a device with a
humidifier is prefered, and for a few weeks on the
road, it is advised that you use a humidor that
has been properly rehumidified.
After you get your storage
device, choose the cigars that you want to bring
along. It is best to take cigars that have already
been stored in a humidor for a period of time as
they will have stabalized at the perfect humidity.
Make sure you bring only enough cigars for the
excursion. You really want to avoid bringing any
cigars back with you that you took from home. Not
that they will go bad, but the likelyhood is
higher than if you enjoy them while out. For
example, it is not advised to bring 25 cigars if
you are going to a wedding and plan on smoking 2
during the evening.
Now that you have the cigars you
want to travel with, and they have been sitting in
a proper humidor for some time, you can simply
take your storage device and load it up. If you
just got cigars from the tobacco shop, it is
advised to leave them in the wrapper and place
them in your travel case.
Remember
always to close your travel
humidors, case, tube, etc. when you are done with your
cigar. This will help maintain the humidity and
preserve your cigars longer. Also, try to not put
the case in direct sunlight or any place where the
heat will get extreme. It is best to carry the
case with you at all times. As an example, bring
it on the plane with you, rather than in the
storage below.
