TL;DR — The cedar-lined leather five-cigar case is a zippered travel humidor with a leather exterior, a cedar interior with five individual channels, and stated limits of 165 mm length and 23.5 mm diameter, the widest stated channel of any enclosed case here. It accepts a small humidity pack but does not include one. $59.

Who buys this case
A smoker who travels for a few days at a time with four or five cigars and wants them enclosed, separated, and against cedar, without stepping up to eight channels. It is also the case for large-gauge smokers who travel: a 58 fits its 23.5 mm channel, which no other enclosed case here states. It is a bag case, 210 × 150 × 38 mm, not a pocket case.

Construction and closure
Leather outside, cedar inside, a five-channel tray the supplier describes as removable or fitted, and a perimeter zipper that encloses the interior on all sides. The enclosure is what makes a humidity pack useful; a small two-way pack sits beside the tray. The zipper is the only moving part and the only thing that fails; keep it free of grit and never force it over a bulging interior.
Against its neighbours
Against the eight-cigar travel humidor: three more channels, elastic straps, a pack in the box, and no published interior at $69; this case has two fewer channels, no straps, no pack, and both figures published at $59. Against the solid-cedar four-cigar case: longer inside (190 mm) but narrower (22 mm), rigid, open, and clasped. Against the horse-motif tube case: pocket-sized, 25 mm tubes, no enclosure.

Care that applies here
Brush the cedar dry; wipe the leather dry; brush the zipper teeth after sand or salt. Replace the pack when stiff. Store it half-zipped and empty between trips. Do not oil the zipper; graphite from a pencil is the odourless option if it stiffens.
Before ordering
If your regular cigar is over 165 mm, this is the wrong case; look at the solid-cedar tray. If it is a 58, this is the right one. Buy a small two-way pack (65–69%) with the order elsewhere, since none is included.

Frequently asked questions
Which pack fits?
A small two-way pack of the size sold for 5–10 cigars, at 65% or 69%.
Is the tray removable?
The supplier says removable or fitted; on units supplied it lifts out for cleaning.
Will a Churchill fit diagonally?
No. The channels are 165 mm and the case is not designed for diagonal loading.
How long can cigars stay in it?
A week or two with a fresh pack in a temperate room; it is a travel case, not a humidor.
