Cigars and travel: tips for transporting your modules safely

✈️ Introduction: Travel with your cigars with complete peace of mind

Whether you're heading off for a weekend in the countryside or a trip abroad, bringing a few good cigars with you is often part of the fun. But without precautions, you risk finding your cigars crushed, dried out, or damaged . For a cigar enthusiast, this is unthinkable!

Here is the complete Atelier Atypique guide to transporting your cigars in the best conditions , with style and without hassle.

🎒 1. Physically protect your cigars

A cigar is delicate: the wrapper (outer leaf) can crack at the slightest shock or crushing.

The solutions:

✅ Hard cigar case

• • Format 1, 2 or 3 cigars.
  • Genuine leather, soft lining.
  • Compact and elegant, it slips into a pocket or bag.

✅ Individual cigar tube

• • Often made of metal or acrylic.
  • Ideal for a short trip.

✅ Airtight travel container

• • To carry several cigars: 5, 10, or even more.
  • High density foam interior.
  • Water and shock resistant.

At Atelier Atypique, we recommend our leather cases for their robustness and timeless elegance.

💧 2. Maintain the right humidity level while traveling

The biggest enemy of cigars while traveling? Dry air! Airplane cabins and certain climates quickly dry out your cigars.

Our advice:

• Slip a mini humidifier (Boveda 69% or 72%) into the travel box.
• Choose an airtight case rather than a simple open case.
• Avoid leaving cigars in a car in the sun: the heat damages the tobacco.

✈️ 3. Going through security checks: what you need to know

In cabin baggage:
✅ Allowed without limit for cigars.
✅ Lighter: 1 only , BIC or torch type, to slip into your pocket or a transparent pouch.
✅ Cigar cutter : some airports allow it, but it is better to place it in the hold to avoid confiscation.

🗺️ 4. Long trip? Pack a travel cellar

For a stay of more than a week, a mini travel cellar is ideal:

• Waterproof and compact.
• Interior in Spanish cedar.
• Built-in humidifier.

This allows you to keep your modules in a stable microclimate , even abroad.

🏷️ 5. Some useful accessories

• Pocket ashtray : for clean drinking outdoors.
• Accessory case : for storing lighter, cigar cutter and matches.
• Vacuum storage bag : to repatriate cigars purchased locally.

🚫 6. Mistakes to avoid

❌ Carry your cigars without protection, simply in a pocket or bag.
❌ Forget the humidifier for a long trip.
❌ Expose your cigars to extreme temperature variations.
❌ Forcing the filling of a case: too tight = risk of cracks.

✅ 7. Conclusion: leave with peace of mind

Traveling with your cigars is not complicated: with a good case, a little humidity and vigilance , your modules will arrive intact and ready to be enjoyed.
