Have you seen a travel humi like this???

IMO, your $25 is better spent on a Cigar Caddy/Otterbox/Pelican case type traveldor. More durable and better seal to maintain humidity.

Looks like the "Colibri" type aluminum travel humi that I have are common except this one has a hygrometer through it.

On Ebay, you can pick them up without the hygrometer for around $25 or less in some cases.

That price is about right but just don't know how reliable that hygrometer would be and if worth it.

there is NO seal.

You'd be better off throwing your sticks in a cardboard box.

No kidding.

Take a little flashlight, throw it inside, close the lid. Turn off the lights in the room. Great nightlight.

Thanks for the info... I will pass on it. I already have a couple of Herf-a Dors so I didn't really need it anyway.

They don't use a seal.
They are designed to work like a desktop humidor with beveled wood resting against more beveled wood.

However, I would agree with you on the leaks as after a while of using it, mine no longer closes snug as it use to, and sadly, I haven't used it very often.

I like the look of it.

It would make a great dry box too.

Plus on the seal side one strip of 1/4 inch weather stripping and you would be good to go.

I am ok with my Xikar 30ct and my Cigar Caddy 10 ct for now.

Yep. I just saw someone return a box like the one in the OP to my local B&M because it was destroyed in transit.

I have a couple and they work perfectly. I use my caddy 99.9% of the time though.

I've got just about every size of CigarCaddy/OtterBox/Pelican/Hardigg case you can think of or imagine...I've deployed them around the world numerous times in the past umpteen years, and I'm getting ready to deploy yet again...

I wouldn't waste my time or money on that case, Gator.
