Travel humidor recommendation needed...

[T.G]

Rob,

The commonly seen aluminum one that many of us have is made by Halliburton. The one with the trays, humidifer and such is "The Ambassador" by Cigar Classics, the equivalent camera case from Halliburton (without the cigar trays) is model 130_, where _ could be C=brushed silver ("chrome?") and B = Black. I've also seen them in gold and red, although I'm not sure what their color codes are or if red is even a stock color.

Your best bet is eBay and patience. New, they are stupid expensive.

There is also a 9 or 10 (depends on the vintage) fold open hand case called "The Diplomat" that holds 4 or 5 cigars on one side and 5 on the other in molded slots with a magnetic latching bar/rail. They are nice, but they are bigger than they look. When I bought mine, I was expecting something not much bigger than a Xikar or Cigar Caddy 5-count. Boy was I in for a shock. Once I got past the shock of "chit, I don't want to lug this monstrosity around" I've grown to love the case. Nine cigars at my fingertips, no rummaging or lifting out trays.
