Best Xikar Travel Humidor
This Xikar travel humidor is great for those looking for a basic storage and transportation option. Most importantly, your cigars will remain fresh and protected while you travel. But we also love that this can hold the larger sized Churchill’s too.
The drawbacks are that there are no slots, simply an egg carton foam liner. But this setup works well if you are looking for more flexibility in your sizing. Something else to note is that this does not include a humidifier. However, it does a really good job keeping moisture locked in, and these humidity packs are an easy addition in the case.
Note: if you are looking for a bit larger capacity (10 cigars), here is the bigger option for you to check out.

It also includes a humidifier and siphon, which makes it a great travel set, as well as a longer term storage and transport option
Which is why we think this option makes for a great gift option too. Especially since it has everything you need as a gift set, including a cutter and lighter. But make a note that the lighter does not come with butane to make shipping easier.

Best Travel Humidor with Hygrometer

On top of that, the built in hygrometer and humidifier make it simple to keep your cigars at peak freshness during your adventure.
If you’re looking to travel with a higher quantity of cigars, however, you’ll want to check out one of our larger capacity recommendations.

And it’s just a great quality and good looking.
The drawbacks are that this case is not going to keep your cigars as fresh as our other cases that are airtight or have humidors. It also only holds a capacity of 6.5″ cigars and a ring gauge of 52. So make sure that this will hold your desired type of cigar beforehand as well.

Questions About Travel Humidors for Cigars
How much do humidors cost?
You can get a travel humidor for starting around $20, but as you go up in size and quality you can spend $50 or more. Our top picks of cigar humidors for travel includes a variety of price points to fit exactly what you’re looking for.
How do you use a travel humidor?
A travel humidor helps to maintain the freshness and flavor of cigars by maintaining an ideal humidity level.
The cigar humidor will have a sealable lid that helps to regulate the level of humidity inside, plus a lining of moisture-absorbing material, such as sponge or foam, which can be moistened to maintain the ideal level of humidity around 70%. This usually involves using an eye dropper to add a few drops of distilled water.
Some travel humidors also come equipped with a hygrometer for measuring the humidity level, ensuring that cigars are stored in the optimal conditions at all times.
This makes a travel humidor a must-have accessory for cigar enthusiasts, even when they’re traveling.
How often do you refill a humidor humidifier?
Usually you only need to refill the humidifier every few months if you’re keeping your humidor in good shape. However, the frequency you need to refill your cigar humidor’s humidifier depends on a few things, like the size of your humidor, the weather, and how many cigars you’ve got stored inside.
But, if it’s super dry outside, you may need to refill more often. Smaller humidors usually need to be refreshed more often as well.
The best way to know when it’s time is to keep an eye on the humidity levels inside using a hygrometer. If it drops below your desired level, it’s time for a refill.
