Q. If I am buying a
box of cigars overseas, what is the best way to store the cigars whilst travelling on an airplane?
- Michael in Australia
A. Assuming you're not bringing Cuban cigars into the U.S., which could be confiscated at Customs, I would purchase an X-Treme humidor. They're air and water tight, and keep your cigars really fresh. I would also store them in your carry-on so they're traveling under "normal" conditions, as opposed to the freezing temperatures in the baggage compartment. The X-Treme model shown here holds 18 cigars, but they have models that hold less and more cigars.
