Frequently asked questions
What is HD acrylic and why is it used in the Vanguard?
High-density (HD) acrylic is an ultra-resistant transparent polymer — more rigid and shock-resistant than standard acrylic, comparable to organic glass. In the Vanguard, it replaces the case body, typically made of leather or metal, to offer two simultaneous benefits: perfect crush-proof rigidity that protects your cigars from impacts, and full transparency that allows you to see your cigars without opening the case.
What are the U-shaped cutouts on the acrylic frame for?
The U-shaped cutouts allow you to extract each cigar with your fingers from the bottom without exerting any lateral pressure on the wrapper. In a classic case, you often have to pinch the cigar to extract it, which can mark or damage the wrapper. With the U-shaped cutouts, you slide your fingers under the cigar and gently lift it — no contact with the wrapper, no risk of damaging your Cohibas or Montecristos.
Is the included Damascus cigar cutter really made of stainless steel?
Yes — the double-blade cigar cutter included in the front pocket is made of stainless steel with ornamental Damascus-style engravings. The double guillotine ensures a clean and precise cut. The Damascus engravings are decorative — they are inspired by the characteristic pattern of historical Damascus steel (waves and flames) without being true forged Damascus steel.
Does the Vanguard maintain cigar humidity during transport?
The HD acrylic and genuine leather together create a relatively airtight enclosure that maintains the relative humidity around your cigars during transport. It is not a long-term storage humidor — it is a transit case that protects your cigars during trips of a few hours. For a multi-day trip, supplement with a Boveda pack slipped into the case.
Is the Vanguard a good gift for an enthusiast who already has everything?
Yes — it is precisely for this profile that the Vanguard was designed. Its hybrid acrylic & leather design is unique in the cigar case market. The U-shaped cutouts, full transparency, and included Damascus engraved cigar cutter make it an object that surprises even the most equipped connoisseurs. For a Cohiba, Montecristo or Partagas enthusiast who already owns a classic humidor, lighter, and cigar cutter, the Vanguard is the original piece that was missing.
