Telescopic cowhide leather single cigar case — SOLITAIRE

The inner diameter is 25 mm, which corresponds to a ring gauge of approximately 63. Therefore, most common sizes fit without difficulty: Corona, Petit Corona, Robusto, Toro, and many intermediate formats. The thickest cigars, close to 25 mm, will be a tighter fit and should be slid in gently. As for length, the case measures 177 mm overall and its two parts slide to adjust: we advise comparing the length of your favorite cigars to this measurement before choosing, particularly for very large formats.

The case is made of two cylindrical parts that nest into one another. The cigar is placed in the bottom section, and then the top section is slid down until it gently touches the head of the cigar. The friction between the two leather tubes is enough to keep the unit closed: there are no clasps, magnets, or zippers. There is a two-fold benefit: the cigar is held along its entire length rather than sliding from one end to the other, and the case remains as slim and discreet as possible. To open it, simply pull gently on the two parts.

Yes. The exterior is cowhide leather, the gold standard for small leather goods, which is dense, supple, and durable. The interior is lined with a beige suede-style material, which is soft on the cigar wrapper. Like any natural leather, the SOLITAIRE may show slight variations in grain and shade from one case to the next, and it develops a patina with use, especially on the edges. These nuances are part of the object's character and do not constitute a defect. Very simple care is enough to keep it in beautiful condition for years.

That is not its intended purpose. The SOLITAIRE is a transport case: it protects the cigar from impacts and crushing during an outing, an evening, or a day, but it contains no humidification system and does not regulate humidity. After twenty-four to forty-eight hours, a cigar begins to lose its humidity, and its burn may become less even. For long-term storage, keep your cigars in a humidor between 65% and 72% relative humidity, and only take one out when you are ready to leave.

All three versions share the exact same construction, beige lining, and dimensions; only the leather shade changes. Brown is the most classic color, reminiscent of smoking rooms and clubs, and it develops a patina in the most visible way. Burgundy, with its plum undertones, adds a more personal touch and makes a very lovely gift. Black is the most understated version, ideal with a dark suit or evening wear. If the case is meant to accompany other leather accessories, simply choose the shade closest to your existing leather goods.

Maintenance is minimal. Regularly dust the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the leather gets wet, wipe it without rubbing and let it dry at room temperature, away from a radiator or hair dryer, which would harden it. Once or twice a year, you can apply a very thin layer of neutral cream for smooth leather, testing it first on a small, inconspicuous area, then buff it. Avoid household cleaners and solvents. Inside, a simple quick brush is enough to remove any tobacco residue.

Yes, each SOLITAIRE case is presented in a black gift box, sober and elegant, which protects it during transport and allows it to be given as-is. All that remains is to add a ribbon or a card. It is an appreciated gift for a birthday, Father's Day, a retirement, or to thank a friend who enjoys cigars. To enhance the gift, you can accompany it with a pocket cigar cutter or a lighter, creating a complete small set for outings.
