Review of XiKar Cigar Travel Case

Customer Ratings:

Our XiKar Cigar Travel Case arrived promptly and looked just like the photos. I had read that it sealed so well that it was a little difficult to open sometimes. I also read a review that said prying it open with a quarter worked wonders. I subsequently read that after an airplane flight it is even harder to open and obviously ours was shipped via air.

We poked, we prodded, we broke finger nails. We followed one suggestion of leaving it in a hot car I think you have to leave it there for a day or two, just just 2-3 hours.

We finally worked the hinge loose about 2 notches which allowed enough flex at the hinge end to get a thin screw driver wedged in and we worked that around, slowly, scratching it once or twice and then... a small WHOOSH, little pressure equalization. A few more inches of prying and it opened.

All of this could have been avoided had the manufacturer put a piece of cardboard or something along the seal before shipping.

Finally we did get it open. And we will NOT travel by plane with it. Sorry, it's too much of a nuisance.

But once opened it was just as represented. We're not major cigar hobbyists so I have no idea whether it will maintain exactly 70% humidity for long periods of time. But based on the quality, look and feel, I am very confident it will be excellent for our purposes. And what are our purposes to have a small sturdy case that we can throw in a suitcase when we DRIVE (not fly) on a short vacation. It would also be great for someone who just wants a sturdy case for a few cigars and doesn't necessarily want to display it. For the price you can't beat it.

The construction seems excellent and all in all, after the challenge of opening it, we're more than pleased with our purchase.

I bought this for my father-in-law who travels several times a year for several weeks. I really liked this humidor for several reasons 1. it's extremely lightweight. While adding cigars will of course add to the weight, the case itself won't weigh down your luggage. 2 I like the foam inserts to keep the cigars separate. 3 I LOVE that there is a humidifcation product in the lid. No having to add or purchase any extra pieces. Overall it's great. One reviewer commented to help break the airtight seal that you pinch the lid and case together works great when you do that. I feel this will last for many years.

Honest reviews on XiKar Cigar Travel Case

I received the humidor and it is very well built and airtight. I did not have the problem opening it that some reviewers had. The only reason that it isn't 5 stars is because there should be something covering the top layer of cigars so that the humidifier doesn't ruin them.
