Use a traveldor for three months, or buy a small desktop?

[Sauer Grapes]

I've already got both types of beads, so I can take either with me when I make my decision.

if you're looking for cheap, gallon ziplock bag(s).

Not looking quite that cheap. I want to bring some pretty nice smokes with me, so the cheapest I'd be looking is a cigar caddy or small desktop.

FWIW, I would be willing to store my best cigars in ziplock bags for extended periods of time.
Not much different than tupperware, a cooler, or a cigar caddy as far as keeping humidity in.

Cigar storage is one of the things people obsess over more than necessary, IMHO.

And "air exchange"

I keep cigars in a ziplock at work with a small bag of Shilala beads during the warmer months to have a smoke on my drive home.

Can I use my 40count, or one of my desktops, sure... but like Julian said, the ziplock works just as well, although it doesnt provide the protection of some other options.

[Sauer Grapes]

Cool. Thanks for the advice! I may have to consider it.

I actually like the idea that someone said earlier about using ziplocks or five-finger bags inside a cigar caddy without the foam so I can fit more. That might be the best idea.

I may even bring my cabinetta... but maybe not.

I always take a small cigar caddy with me when I travel but I always take more cigars than fit in a caddy. I use ziplocks for the extras. Once I used some tupperware, but more for protection from the rest of the contents in my backpack than anything else. I use the small caddy when I am at my destination and want to carry my cigars without damaging them.

Ziplocks are great! And, like Moe said, if you are going to be using the Ziplock for awhile in a drier climate you can always throw a small bag of beads or a Boveda pack in with them.

The problem with traveling with a larger caddy or humidor is that they are bigger, weigh more, and take up more space. Not much of a problem for a road trip, but is a real issue when flying...

[Sauer Grapes]

Thanks again guys. I'll be driving, so the space isn't as much of an issue and I do want the crush protection while they are packed away in my car with my other belongings.

Im willing to bet that within our membership you'll be able to find someone willing to loan you a desktop humi they are no longer using anymore for a while if you ask nice.

[Mugen910]

not sure if it ends up being cheaper but I would check Ebay for a pelican case. Just match the model number to something that has the same dimensions as a cigar caddy.

[Sauer Grapes]

Good ideas as well.

Thanks.

[Mugen910]

Not sure your time frame but I've seen the large pelican cases without foam go for pretty cheap.

[Sauer Grapes]

I'm looking to get something by the end of April, so I've got time.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the offer Dan! I'll let you know, but really, I could probably use one after this summer, so I should just buy one.

Thanks again!
