Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

The time has come :D The reason I'm looking at these is they have the size I want; 50-80 count and cheap. Just wondering who has them (Xikars travel humis in general), assuming all sizes are of similar build quality, just looking for opinions.

Also, I like the foam trays, very long and wide, which should accomadate a wide variety of sizes and hold two small cigars in one slot. I want to be able to take large sticks Sublime Extras to small Ninfas.

Thanks for any input. :tu

Get a Zero. :D

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

What's a zero?


I have the 10 count. Since I smoke 60RG logs for the most part, it doesn't hold 10. More like a well-padded 6. But, I have no complaints so far.

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

LMAO, you got me confused with yourself -- MONEY!

I don't own a Zero, I have an 18 ct Cigar Caddy. :r

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

Seth...I have an 18 count Xikar and I love it!! Mroe so now that my CA sitcker is on top of it. These bad boys work great!! Only wish I would have bought a larger one...30-50 count.

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

I have a ten count that is working great. I did find out the hard way that it vacuums itself shut when it gets on the airplane though.

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

What does that mean? Hard to open or damaged cigars? other?

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

I have a 10 count now, but will be getting a 50-80 count from Mark in the next week or so.

90 or so bux shipped.......

I also am preparing for Shack! :D

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

Had mine seal shut on an airplane. I believe the larger ones have a release valve though so no worries.

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

All travel humidors vacuum shut during flight due to the altitude (mine also did it when I drove from Denver up skiing).

The larger units have a pressure release knob on the front (just make sure to keep the valve closed all the time, especially prior to travel).

The smaller ones have a small notch on the front to pry open with a coin

I hope this helps

ps - the Xikar models have a hole in the lid foam that accommodates a Puck-ifier 100 perfectly where as the Cigar Caddy does not

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

That is what happened to me. I got into Korea and found that the humidor wouldn't open ... about 45 minutes later and thankful for a solid metal spoon in the room, I was able to get it opened. Good news is though that the cigars were in tip top shape.

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

i just recently got a 30ct cigar caddy which is similar to the xikar...it has the pressure release valve on it....so far i like it....

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

actually, the 30 ct Cigar Caddy, the 30-50 ct Xikar, and the 30-50 Extreme travel humidors are all the same case that is Manufactured by S3 Case. S3 is the parent company of Extreme. again, 3 different brands using the same case.

Cigar Caddy is more honest in their advertising on capacity, while the other companies have stretched the capacity claims a little bit. (just like cheap desktop manufacturers)

Cigar Caddy has chosen Boveda for humidification on their 30 stick Caddy, the others have chosen the round, foam humidifier.

Cigar Caddy has chosen not to offer a 50 stick Caddy, but you can get that size from X-Treme or Xikar. Both offer the round foam humidifier. Also, the Xikar is manufactured by Extreme, so both are the same cases. capacity is claimed at 50-80, but I call it 50.

I got a heck of a deal going on the 50-80 extreme if anybody is interested.

Last but not least, the 2,5,10, and 15 Caddy is still manufactured by Otterbox. Otterbox/Cigar caddy make the best cases in the business. Nobody else makes the same quality cases, and Cigar Caddy is the only company that uses the Otterbox brand cases

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

I just ordered the 15 ct. Caddy/ Palio / Cigar stand combo the other day. Great Deal!!!

Can't wait to get it.

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

If you are interested Famous has the 50 count Extreme for $60. Best price I have found.

Re: Xikar Travel Humi Reviews?
 

I have a 5 and a 15 Seth. No complaints on either from me. I've gotten much usage out of them in conditions less than savory. Boat, golf course, etc., and then for an aftenoon or night visit I defer to a nice leather case 3 finger.
