Converted a Storm case about a month ago

Love mine, and am very happy with the unit other than there really is no real way of figuring out what the real humidity is in there and if that flower shop greeeen thing really does work, so because of that I wound putting in a xikar crystal stick that is the size of about a corona and now I don't worry about humidity anymore. Also I like the case cuz I believe this is not a xikar case it is a pelican case with xikar name on it and since I scuba dive pelican is good enough for the Navy Seals its good enough for me.

Xikar is not using a Pelican

I have a cigar caddy and I love it...I was not a fan of the foam treys either....

whats wrong with the trays?

 

[TravelingJ]

The trays tend to take up a lot of space. I live out of my 30 count, and keep the trays out at all time. When I'll be on the road, I put maybe one on the top to fill in the dead space and keep the cigars from bouncing around. Otherwise, I prefer to be able to keep 50 cigars in the 30 count case. Not to mention, you need a ton of space to be able to lay out 4 trays to get to a cigar at the bottom. I just don't have that kind of room.

 

[RonC]

the 3,5,and 6 finger cigar bags do a nice job in place of the trays

 

[TravelingJ]

Yes and no. They do provide an additional layer of protection, which is very nice, but the way they space out the cigars can take up more room, as well. It really does depend on what exactly you are trying to do with the case. I also found the length ended with overlap and the bags had to be folded someway, so that was another space hog.

That said, I might try it out again when I get back to the house this time around. I did order from the last batch of 5 finger group buy, so I'm looking forward to getting them.

i have had mine for a while now, and have no complaints, i took the humidifier out that came with it and put in a humidifier with some rh beads and also cut out a nice little square from the top liner foam and added a digital hydrometer, i love it. dont have a single thing to complain about with this one

 

[Easyryder01]

If xikar isn't using a pelican it is a damn good copy of one. Thank you for clarifying that for me. I do agree that taking out so many trays to get to the stick you want to enjoy is a hassle.

 

[usmc-walker]

yeah the clasps are different than pelicans, but still a very good case. i am an avid diver as well, when not trapped in the desert haha.

I just use a pelican case? why not...ok they are pricey but my military brethren know about tactically acquiring gear.

 

[usmc-walker]
