The beach gets hot, the boat gets wet: outdoors the climate shifts constantly, and that is exactly what cigars dislike. A rugged travel case cushions those swings and holds the humidity steady. The handy humidors from Rising Cigar fit into any luggage, so you never have to go without your cigars, even on holiday.

Why a travel humidor makes sense

Cigars need constant humidity, otherwise their quality suffers noticeably. If the humidity drops too far, the wrappers dry out and turn brittle; if it gets too humid, mould and an uneven burn become a risk. On the road the storage demands are completely different from at home, which is why simply carrying cigars in your jacket pocket quickly costs you maturity and condition.

A travel humidor solves this with a sealed microclimate. The case is waterproof as well as heat resistant and easily withstands extreme cold and blazing heat, whether in a hot car boot or in a backpack out in the snow.

How the humidifier keeps the humidity stable

An integrated humidifier takes care of the climate inside. The pad releases moisture when the air gets too dry and absorbs it when it gets too humid, so the level settles on its own at around 72 percent. The cedar wood lining works along with it: it buffers the humidity and protects the cigars' wrappers from drying out.

With the right moisture level the delicate wrapper stays elastic and takes the cutter's cut without a problem. If the tobacco leaf tears at the head, the cigar unravels slightly while smoking and loses its ideal draw.

Tip: Check the humidifier before every longer trip. If the pad feels hard, recharge or replace it before you set off.

Pack it handily and transport it safely

With room for 9 cigars the case is big enough for a multi-day trip and still handy enough for your luggage. The cigars rest padded in a soft core, so they don't rub against each other or get pressure marks while you transport them.

The tracker inside lets you locate the case at any time while you travel.

When a travel humidor pays off

A travel humidor pays off the moment you leave the house with cigars. On the flight to your holiday destination it travels in your carry-on, and on a short trip it replaces your humidor at home for a few days.

If the quality of your cigars matters to you on the road just as much as at home, the Survival Humidor is the safe choice. Want to take your cigars everywhere without compromise? Then take a look at the travel humidor from Rising Cigar in this category.

FAQ

Do I need to set up the humidifier?

Yes, you should check briefly before you set off to see if the humidifier pad still has enough moisture. If it feels hard, top it up or replace it. It will then maintain a constant level of humidity for days on end, without you having to do anything every day.

Is a travel humidor really watertight?

The Survival Humidor is waterproof and heat-resistant and can withstand temperatures ranging from minus 33 to plus 90 degrees. A sudden shower or a hot boot won’t bother it. You should still avoid submerging it for long periods, though.

How do I look after the cedar wood indoors?

Cedar wood requires very little care. You should wipe it down with a dry cloth and avoid using any cleaning products. If necessary, leave the open case to air out briefly. The wood helps to regulate humidity and gives the interior its characteristic, slightly sweet scent.

How does a travel humidor differ from a standard humidor?

A traditional humidor is kept at home and is used to store larger quantities over long periods. A travel humidor is the portable version: smaller and considerably more robust, so that it can withstand damp and temperature fluctuations whilst being transported.

How long do cigars stay fresh in a travel humidor?

With a humidor in good working order, cigars will remain ready to smoke for weeks. It is essential that the lid remains closed and that the pad is well maintained. This isn’t an issue for short trips, but for longer ones you should check the pad from time to time.
