FAIRWAY - Golf bag shaped 8-cigar travel case

The case holds up to 8 cigars in its main body, in addition to the accessories stored in the zippered front pocket. Real capacity obviously depends on the format: eight medium-diameter cigars will fit, while very thick cigars will reduce that number slightly. The case measures 220 mm high and 85 mm in diameter; the maximum cigar length accepted is not provided by the manufacturer, so we recommend comparing your favorite formats to these exterior dimensions, particularly for Churchills and Double Coronas.

No. The FAIRWAY is made of leatherette, which is a synthetic, leather-effect coating. This choice has several advantages for an item intended for golf and travel: it is lightweight (about 130 g), cleans with a simple damp cloth, and is less susceptible to water splashes or wet grass than natural leather. It will not develop a patina like cowhide leather, but it will maintain its appearance and colors (army green and brown) over time, provided it is not exposed to excessive heat.

According to the model photos, the case is equipped with a humidifier disc. Before use, moisten it with distilled water or a propylene glycol solution, depending on its nature, following the provided instructions; then wipe off any excess so no droplets can stain the cigar wrappers. Place it back in the case, close the lid, and let it stabilize for a few hours before storing your cigars. Recharge it whenever it appears dry, generally before each trip. Never use tap water, which causes limescale and promotes mold.

That is not its purpose. The FAIRWAY is a travel case, designed for a round of golf, a day, or a weekend. Its humidifier disc provides moisture, but the case does not allow for precise regulation of humidity like a humidor, and its zippered closure is not airtight. After more than a few days, cigars may dry out or, conversely, become over-humidified. Upon returning, place them back in your cigar humidor, between 65 and 72% relative humidity, and only use the case for travel.

The zippered front pocket, reminiscent of the ball pocket on a real golf bag, is intended for smoker accessories: a pocket cigar cutter (guillotine, punch, or compact scissors) and a lighter (torch or soft flame). Depending on their size, you can also slip in a few cedar matches or a small cigar piercer. The accessories shown in the photos are not included with the case. Be sure to close the pocket before hanging the case, and never store a lighter while hot immediately after use.

The FAIRWAY is designed to follow the golfer. Thanks to its small handle-strap, it can be hung from a carabiner on your golf bag or slipped into a side pocket if large enough. At 220 × 85 mm and about 130 g, it does not imbalance the bag. During the round, keep it in the shade if possible—in the bag or under the golf cart seat—rather than exposed to direct sunlight: heat quickly dries out cigars. At the clubhouse, it sits on the table and easily sparks conversation.

Maintenance is very simple. For the exterior, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, possibly with a drop of neutral soap, then dry with a dry cloth; this is enough to remove dust, grass, or fingerprints. Avoid solvents, alcohol, and abrasive products that could damage the coating. For the interior, empty the case and shake it to remove tobacco bits, then leave it open to the air for a few hours after a long trip so it does not retain residual moisture or the smell of cold tobacco.
