I am working on a small case that will hold my folding cigar stand, and a stainless steel cigar cutter. Here are some pics of a prototype that I made. I dont sew, so i used a staple gun. The factory is working on my samples. The pic shows a plastic cutter, but it will be designed around the metal cutter in the last picture.









I have been using this cutter. It works great.

Assuming the samples are good,I will have a full line of cases that will hold the stand plus various cutters

Very nice Idea, Ron... it's amazing how much bulk all those dang sleeves can add to your gear.

Would be cool to get it consolidated... any plans for a teardrop shaped pocket?

I like this idea... I currently keep my cutter and lighter together by putting them in a leather 2 cigar case. It would be nice to have a dedicated holder. Which cutter is that Ron?

just a thin, compact metal cutter. like i said, once they get this case right, other shapes and sizes will be easy to pull off. i have a few nice compact cutters in the works

Ron, maybe one for a Palio cutter?

just to give you an idea, the plastic cutter in my photo was 4 5/8ths" long. the metal cutter in the bottom picture is just about 4", so the case is fitted for the shorter cutter.

Really like the idea! And would be interested in one to fit the Palio. The case they include has a flap on it, which realistically makes it close to the same thickness yours could be, when holding the Palio and stand.

Ron, this looks great! I have this cutter crammed into my wallet at present, so this would be awesome to have on hand.

Very nice Ron! Great idea! I lost my cutter 2 weeks ago due to carrying it in my back pocket! You have a built in customer base here when it goes public!
