Type of review

It fits 15 big size cigars, so they arent lying like some humidors do and say they hold a certain number but its only for robusto sizes lol. I didn't wanna use the built in humidor thing so i bought a gel stick humidor device. Works like a charm and the case is built like tank.

Pros
  • A must-have for brothers and sisters of the leaf traveling on vacation.
Cons
  • The humidor may not work as well as advertised, leaving your cigars at risk of drying out

I'll mark this as five stars since the humidor itself .

I'll mark this as five stars since the humidor itself is strong, seals well, and keeps my cigars safe. It *will* hold 15 cigars but only if the cigars aren't larger than about a 50-52 ring gauge. If you smoke larger gauge cigars, you'll find that it's more of a 12 count. But I usually never need to carry more than 7 or 8 at a time, so this is not a big deal for me. If you absolutely need to carry 15 cigars, go for one of the larger count travel humidors, just to be safe.

Pros
  • Wish it had more directions for using the humidifier but works great as far as i can tell
Cons
  • The case may not fit all types of cigars, limiting your options

Get with the program

I've been pleased with the one I have so I purchased this for a friend who was carrying his cigars in a plastic bag.Can't have my dude doing that!

Pros
  • Exactly what I expected.Would buy again when needed.Good Luck
Cons
  • It may take up valuable space in your luggage, making it difficult to pack

Great product best in my review

Worked very well as a travel humidor. Kept my stogies nice and fresh, used the sponge humidifier inside and also added two xikar stick humidifiers. Can 15 cigars only if the ring size is small, otherwise you're looking at about 12 that can fit. You can also take out the sponge layer and possibly fit more.

Pros
  • Excellent product. Have used it many times traveling.
Cons
  • The case may be too flashy or attention-grabbing, drawing unwanted attention

Bad latches, doesn’t seal

Doesn’t really feel that sturdy at all. I’m not sure how it is actually supposed to seal up because the latches are extremely loose and when latched the lid can move up and down. I wasn’t expecting pelican case tough or really even extremely water tight. I did figure it would seal tight enough to keep cigars from drying out in one day. A Tupperware container with socks for padding would honestly be better than this brand. Going to try another brand.

Pros
  • Super-strong ABS molded plastic construction makes it airtight, watertight, and crushproof
Cons
  • It may be difficult to find replacement humidifier sponges over time

Xikar 15 Cigar Humidor

This works great. I am able to keep it at 70% at all times. I use the xikar solution with it and it seems to work great. I have been using it for a month now and I have only had to refill the humidifier filter once. Love it for traveling too. I took it to alaska and didn't have a problem with it getting crushed or wet even with raining on it.

Pros
  • Works as advertised.
Cons
  • The carrying case may be too expensive for people who are just starting to smoke cigars

Once You Get it Open

Our XiKar Cigar Travel Case arrived promptly and looked just like the photos. I had read that it sealed so well that it was a little difficult to open sometimes. I also read a review that said prying it open with a quarter worked wonders. I subsequently read that after an airplane flight it is even harder to open - and obviously ours was shipped via air.We poked, we prodded, we broke finger nails. We followed one suggestion of leaving it in a hot car - I think you have to leave it there for a…

Pros
  • Love this travel humidor. Everything just works as expected. No surprises. No drama.
Cons
  • It may not be practical for people who only smoke cigars occasionally

Wow! Does what it's supposed to do

I needed a travel humidor and this worked perfectly. The foam is smooth egg crate type. Still worked ok. It can hold a large amount without the foam as well. Xikar make good quality products imo.

Pros
  • Great deal
Cons
  • The case may have an off-putting smell that lingers on your cigars

GREAT PUCHASE FOR PRICE!

I have done research one humidors and it was down to two that I like. They where both pricey, but I wanted the Xikar more than the other one. And for a 15 cigars count this price was just right. The cost for this Xikar is the price for a 5 cigars count. I'm very thankful i waited to purchase. So far it has 13 cigars, puncher and a humidity control bag. I must say so far I'm very please with my purchase. 💘

Pros
  • Use every time I travel. Works great and well constructed.
Cons
  • The carrying case may be too large to fit in most people's carry-on luggage

Interior is not the same as shown in image.

I bought this as my first humidor because I have a trip planned soon and wanted something to bring my cigars with me. Unfortunately, the inside foam is NOT the same as in the image. The foam in mine isn't curved like in the photo. The foam is basically shallow egg-crate foam. As that's not too much of an issue, it's still not really cool to deceive customers. I don't know if it's the manufacturer's fault or the seller but I was looking for the foam shown in the photo as it looks like it would…

Pros
  • Great product from XiKar – great price from Revain (about ½ off).
Cons
  • The case may not be able to handle extreme temperatures, leaving your cigars at risk in certain environments

Good value and secure for cigars

I enjoy cigars every chance I get and this case does just as it says. Keeps them safe from breakage and has a good enough seal to use a humidifier. Highly recommend.

Pros
  • Perfect for travel. Fits nicely in the corner of my travel suitcase.
Cons
  • The case may not provide as much protection as advertised, leaving your cigars at risk if dropped

Not as pictured on my review.

Not extremely happy with the product. Pictured and the reviews and questions says that the unit comes with ribbed foam for placing my cigars. This one came with regular egg style convoluted foam. I'll have to deal with it, but I would have been better off with a different unit.

Pros
  • Household Supplies
Cons
  • It may be difficult to find replacement humidifier cartridges over time

Great Case ! on my review.

Very well made case . Sturdy and keeps cigars fresh . The built in humidifier disc is a great feature ! Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Great cigar case
Cons
  • The case may not be as durable as advertised, and could break or crack with use

Perfect for on the go!

I bought this for my father-in-law who travels several times a year for several weeks. I really liked this humidor for several reasons - 1. it's extremely lightweight. While adding cigars will of course add to the weight, the case itself won't weigh down your luggage. 2 - I like the foam inserts to keep the cigars separate. 3 - I LOVE that there is a humidifcation product in the lid. No having to add or purchase any extra pieces. Overall it's great. One reviewer commented to help break the…

Pros
  • Works like a champ. You don't need a fancy humidor. anything that seals will work. This one is perfect.
Cons
  • The case may not actually be waterproof, despite being advertised as such

Great humidor - my new review

Excellent travel humidor case. We now use this instead of our fancy looking wooden humidor. Well made and maintains humidity like a champ!

Pros
  • Item as described
Cons
  • The case may not actually keep your cigars as fresh as advertised

Great Product! best in my review

This is what I have been looking for! Perfect for traveling! And did I mention that its a nice sleek box?! Well I just did! Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Combo travel holder/at home humidor
Cons
  • It can be bulky and difficult to carry around in your pocket or bag

Product does not match description and bad sealing.

The photo is of a model with a bead, but I received a model "powered by Boveda" without bead.In addition the boveda that came in came dry.I just did not return because I needed it for a trip.Product does not match description.Edit: The sealing is very bad, I have tried to submerge in water and it easily enters.

Pros
  • Tobacco-Related Products
Cons
  • The case may be too large to fit in most personal lockers or desks

Great Travel Case on my review.

Took this on a boundary waters trip and needed a case that would keep potential water out. Very happy with the case, although I brought 15 cigars and could just barely fit them all in, even with the inserts removed.

Pros
  • Bought as a gift and they loved it!
Cons
  • The case may not be able to keep your cigars fresh for extended periods of time

Revainrating 4 out of 5

High quality - A good practical choice.

Well made, good protection, and seals humidity well. Includes multiple contoured sponges to keep rows of cigars separated/layered and protected.

Pros
  • This is my second one. Needed more storage, they work great.
Cons
  • The carrying case may be too large for some people's needs

Great travel humidor

I bought this to compliment my 5 stick humidor by Xikar. This works just as well. I have had them in my luggage on a flight with no issues - and no pressure issues either.I don't use the built in humidifier, but rater, I prefer the drymistat tubes. I toss one in per humidor (losing a seat for a cigar in each) and the humidity stays perfect.

Pros
  • Nice size
Cons
  • The humidifier may require frequent maintenance to keep it working properly
