A gentleman can often find it hard to combine a love of cigars with summer travel. With the warmest months of the year just around the corner, it’s approaching peak time to explore Long Island, America, or the world.
With these essential cigar accessories for travel, you can take your passion for cigars anywhere you go.
Three Vital Cigar Accessories for Summer Vacations on Long Island or Around the World
1: A Cigar Travel Case with All the Extras
When you’re in Port Jefferson, you can always stop in at The Smokin’ Gentleman Lounge to enjoy new flavors in like-minded company. On the road, you need somewhere to keep your cigars. Premium cigars are delicate and require stability when you’re on the move.
The Premium 3 Cigar Travel Case by Case Elegance is perfect for your next weekend away. This genuine leather case is perfect for travel with a cedar-lined interior that helps keep cigars fresh while preventing breakage. The combination of a wooden inner shell and leather exterior helps maintain a consistent microenvironment inside. While it’s not quite the same as your cigar humidor at home, it’s a practical mobile alternative for your cigars this summer.
2: A Luxurious Cigar Lighter and Reliable Cutter
Whether you’re weeks into the lifestyle or have enjoyed cigars for decades, you will know that the right cutter and cutting technique can drastically affect the quality of a cigar. A blunt cutter can crush the leaves, and then everything falls apart. Likewise, the right lighter ensures a smooth experience, while the wrong one can leave unwanted chemical odors and flavors.
This Cigar Accessory Kit with Cutter & Torch Lighter by Case Elegance is a non-negotiable summer accessory for travel and also for use at home. The premium guillotine cutter ensures quick and clean cuts that won’t damage your cigars. The torch lighter ensures a consistent flame for toasting the end and kickstarting the flavor.
Cigar Cutting and Lighting Tips for Air Travel: Cigar cutters are permitted in carry-on and checked bags, but TSA officers have discretion during security checks. We recommend packing your cutter in checked luggage. Torch lighters are not permitted on most commercial flights. If you’re flying somewhere this summer, leave the torch lighter at home and carry a simple Bic Disposable. Soft flame lighters aren’t recommended for daily use with cigars, but they’re a good backup for travel. Hold the cigar a few centimeters tilted down toward the flame, rather than in it, when lighting.
3: A Quality Leather Bag You Can Take Anywhere
There is nothing as important as a casual bag for summer getaways. Whether you are heading to the Hamptons for the weekend or flying over international borders, your bag can carry all of your most essential cigar accessories and everything you need for daily life.
You don’t need a backpack for practicality when traveling. A gentleman knows that looking good is as important as being organized. A leather messenger bag is an essential carry that has storage for all of your tech, as well as the more grounded things in life, like your wallet, cigar travel kit, and even a few of your favorite cigars.
The Theodore Leather Messenger Bag blends modern practicality with a traditional aesthetic and heritage durability. There’s a padded microfiber section for your laptop, pockets that are perfect for cards or cigars, and an extra section for your wallet, lighter, and anything else that you’re traveling with. This bag is handcrafted with thick full-grain US steerhide leather. Like most premium leather goods for men, this bag could last you a lifetime.
