Sounds like a Boveda situation to me. Although, for just a couple days, you are fine with nothing. I would probably go with nothing before I went with the green thing. Especially if you stick the whole thing in a ziploc.

...and more on this topic:

I too will be traveling soon. I'll be traveling by air. How do y'all store your cigars for air travel? What I mean is, do you check them or carry them on? Checking them puts them in what I understand to be an unpressurized luggage compartment of the plane. Does the altitude and temporary lack of pressurization and low temperature adversely effect our sticks? Think of that shampoo bottle left in your checked luggage... The flight will be about 6hrs.

Either way. Just pack them in a cigar case and cary it on- what I do- or check it through with a couple of Bovedas. The only thing about carry-on is the might search it and you will need to tell them to be very gentle b/c they don't get it. Traveling carry on with Cubans could be a little nerve-wracking at TSA, but they don't really have any idea...

I usually leave them in my checked baggage in a herfadore. Never noticed any adverse affects.

Pick that round green thing off and toss it. It's just lightly glued on. If you don't remove it you run the risk of damaging the wrapper on your cigars. Ask me how I know... Just use a boveda pack, it lays flat and won't hurt your cigars. I use a 65% size 8 (8 gram) boveda pack in the 5 pack herfador and more with the bigger herfadors. The packs last months even opening and closing many times a day. The nice thing about boveda packs is that they can add or remove moisture depending where you are.

I have every size herfador and a couple of the fiver versions. I pack a fiver on the way out every morning and always travel with cigars and have had them in checked bags and carry on, usually both if I'm going long enough to need a checked bag. As long as they're in the herfadors they will remain perfectly safe and undamaged even if it gets banged around. Leave your cutter and lighter home if you're flying. Cutting your cigars before you pack is handy but tricky getting back into the cellophane. Happy trails.

Thank you Gentlemen!

two to three days is nothing as far as cigars drying out unless you are in an area with extremely low humidity like 40% or less and let them sit out. No Boveda pack is necessary! I have had many sticks that sit in plastic bags for months and all were perfectly fine. As long as it's airtight they will be great. Same reason why cigars in tubes don't dry out. They carry enough moisture to last.

I carried one of these when traveling in SE Asia, mostly Thailand, for 15 years. Not bulky and keeps the sticks dry, durable and accommodates large rings up to 7”. You can find it on Amazon.

I’mma too paranoid to use anything soft when it comes to carrying cigars in a laptop bag or backpack. For me, it’s gotta be a hard case like a herfador. Since I have both 5 and 10 cigar versions, I use either one depending on where I’m going and how long I might be smoking.

I just spent 4 nights in the keys I did put anything in my case and never do for short trips. Never had any issues yet.

Never... EVER.... EEEVVVVEEEERRRR use the Green foam... unless your goal is mold... rip it out, NOW... no kidding, GO, RIP IT OUT!!!!!!!! now, i feel better... Boveda is easy... no need to over think it, no mess, little to no risk, and if you are really frugal you can even recharge them (GASP, see many other threads) you need 1 standard pack (60 gram i believe) for every 25 Cigars of CAPACITY (not actual cigars but how many does the case hold) since they are 2 way you can not over humidify however, if in an air tight container the humidity may stay 1-2 % over what the back is, especially if they are in a warmer area. i use 65% packs in Pelican style cases and they are usually spot on 65% or at most 66% i do open it almost every day as i use it for my regular Humi and smoke while working from home most days.

In my coolers i use the large packs which are 320g, in a 50quart cooler i use 3 of these and also tend to have some smaller packs sprinkled in through as well. i use 67s in the coolers and with a Govee BT hygrometer i can monitor temp and Humidity since only open the one cooler about once a month and the other about once every 6 moths. they are usually spot on 67. may go up to 68/69 in the summer when the house is a few degrees warmer but i keep them in the basement which is never above 6 degrees.

You can also get little 8 gram Bovedas which i sometimes use in a 3 finger sleeve or a 5 count travel box but i usually travel with more so i just use the standard pack. the smaller ones are also great when doing trades, pibs etc on this site so you can ship cigars ready to smoke ROTT.

Love it

For a week I usually take 2-15 ct. and 10 ct herfador or maybe a 40 ct herfador.with another 1 or 2. I lightly moisten a pillow pack in each one. No problems !
