Default cheaphumidors.com 2 finger leather case

From CH:

Product Description
This leather holder is just gorgeous. Use it when you hit the golf course, or perhaps a day at the beach. Wherever you travel, your cigars will be safe and protected from the elements. And when you run out of cigars, put a few pens, or even chopsticks inside. How classy is that?

Features

* Made from Beautiful Cured Leather
* Holds Two Cigars up to 8" in Length
* Accommodates up to 48 Ring Gauge
* Lifetime Warranty
* 30 Day Money Back Guarantee


When this arrived the first thing I noticed was the color. It's not brown at all but a light purple. The leather is of decent thickness and rigidity. It has a very strong smell and it's not your typical pleasant leather aroma. I emailed CH and was advised to let it air out for a few days but it still has that raunchy smell to it. I haven't even put cigars in it but I wouldn't be surprised if it would influence the flavor somewhat.

Here it is next to some normal brown leather.



Has some sort of spatter on it.



It is what it is for $10.99. The humidor I ordered from them was a great bang for the buck. This case, not so much. I'm sending it back. Just a heads up and my .

Yeah, that thing looks like it was left out in the sun for a few years. Ebay is a great place to pick up 2-3 finger leather cases. I picked up a sweat Cuban crafters one a while back for $15 shipped, the retail on it is $35. Send it back and hit the bay.

Not that you are looking for recommendations, but Cigar Caddy makes a 2 stick model that's very affordable. I have 5, 10, 15, and 18 stick Cigar Caddies and they all do a great job for what I need.

i was going to recommend the 2 stick cigar caddy as well. I used one recently, and although it is big i got used to it. best part i didn't have to worry about humidity from being in a sweaty pocket . I was looking at a leather 2 finger case as well and was worried that the leather would add flavors to the cigars.

Looks to be low grade immported chromium tanned leather.

PS at CigarSolutions.com the 5 stick caddy is actually $1 less expensive than the 2 stick right now. And the owner of CigarSolutions is a BOTL here, I think his SN is RonC. He has always done right by me and his custom Cigar Caddy trays are especially awesome.

Cigar caddies are great, but somestimes a nice leather case is needed. I use mine when going out to evens like weddings, fancy dinners, etc.

I would be sending that thing right on back for a refund. Obviously some sort of 2nd or reject. I am not a cheaphumidors fan anyway, got a humi there that looked very nice for the money but want hold humidity for anything.
