The Old Swede: October 14, 2025
Traveling with cigars. A small luxury, perhaps — but one that keeps tradition (and cigars) intact on the road.
Traveling with Cigars
More often than not when I pack for a weekend trip, I always try to bring along a couple of cigars. I used to throw them in a zip lock bag and find a spot in my shaving kit or a side pocket of my Filson bag where they would be somewhat protected. This did not always work out as planned. I sometimes showed up to my destination with cigars in a less than pristine condition. I finally broke down and purchased a leather cigar holder from Purdey. Did I need a fine leather cigar holder from Purdey, no but I did need a cigar holder for travel.
If you start looking around you can find many styles of the travel cigar holder in leather, wood, metal, etc… The prices can range substantially from different makers like Alfred Dunhill or other London establishments.
In addition to my Purdey case I also have a two cigar holder from the King Ring Collection and a wooden holden by John Rigby. Click the button below to read more and see additional photos.
