Bugatti Cigar Cases
Andrew Nagy
Posted: December 12, 2011
Made
from fine, Cognac-colored leather with Macassar ebony wood sides that
shine like glass, Bugatti’s set of cigar cases are for the enthusiast
who appreciates understated elegance.
The
cases come in two styles—Churchill and Robusto— in two- and
three-finger options. Each opens and closes with a nifty magnetic flap,
and each is lined with Spanish cedar housing. The Spanish cedar, along
with the entire construction of the case, is solid enough that one won’t
have to worry about crushed cigars.
These
cases, though, are not for the six by 60 ring gauge crowd. Bugatti has
designed the slots inside the cases to specifically house traditional
Cuban Churchill and Robusto sized cigars, which are 7 inches by 47 ring
gauge and 4 7/8 inches by 50 ring gauge, respectively.
While
the cases can, of course, be used to transport other cigars sizes, the
precision design really shines when carrying the correct cigars. This is
because the slots are contoured to hug the traditional sizes and
minimize any chance your precious smokes will get damaged due to
unwanted shifting. The buyer will be happiest if they stick to storing
cigars of similar ring gauges, although length is not as important a
factor.
While
the cases are perhaps a bit expensive—$250 for the Robusto style and
$300 for the Churchill—we believe the splurge is worth it.
You’ll find the Bugatti cigar cases at fine tobacconists throughout the United States.

NYC Big smoke ticket or a carry case? Maybe they will hand them out next year, with your 27 cigars.

Nice but for that price I can buy a new humidor for 200-300 cigar capacity

Definitely quite a price tag for a 3-stick case. Definitely sweet though if you have the money to spend.
