Cigars While Touring

What do you carry your Cigars in when riding on trips, and what kind of Cigar do you travel with?

When I am traveling I use a small 5 capacity Travel Humidor, it fits easily into a Saddlebag.
I will pack 2 or 3 of my favorite Cigars brands in it, that way I can enjoy a smoke after the ride.

I will bring along a pack of Backwoods Sweets to go with, Alec Bradley Black Market, Onyx Reserve
and Rock Petel Vintage 1990. Those are a few of my favorite Cigars. If I go through
Sacramento California I like to stop at a Cigar Shop on 16th Street & V Street & pickup some nice
hand rolled Cigars too. That is how I roll, how do you smokers pack your favorite cigars for the ride?

I am partial to Arturo Fuentes Double Chateau or Royal Salutes (when I have lots of time to enjoy one)
Plenty of room in the Limited's luggage to carry a small travel humidor, mostly to keep them from getting squashed. Machine made cigars around here are so ridiculously over priced I usually just order good ones online, comes out pretty close cost wise, but I do like the Back Woods Smokies for machine made. But MN traces the crap outta coats now so they cost about $10+ per pack

I usually pack a leather 3 cigar case when I head out on anything longer than a day ride. Pretty much anything by AJ Fernandez, or Pepin are right up my alley. Also like El Rey Del Mundo robustos a lot.

I am a cheap cigar man, Backwoods and good Old Swishers. I like to puff on one on a slow back country road and find I can do this under 50 mph. especially in the fall.

Punch Gran Cru, the Grandaddy of them all is my favorite.
A few years ago, I bought some Cigar Tubes, made in Germany, and big time air tight. Great to keep anything in.
They are like these, might be the same ones. As you push them together you can feel them "Pop - pop - pop" to let the air out, they will fit most ring gage as well as lengths. Takes a good pull to separate, sounds like uncorking a bottle of bubbly.

Anything from Drew Estates but Def Sea is favorite. Put 'em in a zip-lock baggie with apple slice or damp paper towel.

One of these guys in the 5 cigar capacity, 10 cigar for a road trip:

And I fill it up with Rocky Patels or Acids usually.

Works good too for you golfers, can get knocked around in your bag and protects the cigars. Also has a small sponge in it so they can sit for a couple of days in there.
