40-ct travel - ISO/?'s

[AlohaStyle]

This thread is 2 parts... looking for answers and possibly looking to trade for someone's 40-count if you aren't using yours.

I've read the older threads about travel humidors and there's some good info like this one talking about the 40-counts: http://www.botl.org/threads/need-a-travel-case-recommendation.74745/ I am a little worried about @mdwest and @StogieNinja comments about the Black-Watch humidor foam inserts not working too well for thicker cigars. I like the occasional 52/54 size. For you guys that have these travel humi's, are the foam inserts a problem?

Field Supply has the Megilla humidor priced at $27.50 right now, but it doesn't mention including foam inserts... is it safe to assume the inserts are included? http://www.fieldsupply.com/megilla-40-ct-travel-humidor-black.html The Black-watch one is just a bit higher at $32.50, but these have the exact same specs/look.

Any answers or suggestions would be helpful. I've always traveled with smaller humidors using the 5-finger bags inside instead of foam inserts but would like to get a bigger one now for my next trip.

If anyone has one laying around that you're not using, I would be open to a trade as well. I can send some CC's your way.

Bought from them and haven't had any issues (other than the dog eating one of the foam inserts.)

I've been able to put thicker rg cigars with no issues. I can check what brand it is.

and probably cheaper for you to buy from them Ryan.

you wont have a problem with 52's and 54's.. I dont know if I would fill every slot on every tray with a 54.. it would get a little tight.. but some in there would be fine.. the foam will form around the stick.. if you have a 54 in one slot it will be a bit snug.. but wont damage the stick.. if you have 5 or 6, 54's side by side.. it might get a little tighter than you would like (but still could probably be transported with no issues.. and no damage to the sticks)..

the megilla and the blackwatch are identical.. the exact same case.. just two different labels being applied... go with megilla.. the one you have linked is the correct one, that comes with the fluted foam for cigars.. (some come with pick/pluck foam.. others come with flat/cuttable foam, etc..)..
