Are there any cigar tubes/holders/carrying cases out there that change size for different cigar sizes?

I just got a nice leather(ish) one for Christmas from an excellent vendor!

So stoked.

ha...which ones? I have seen the leather sleeves that the top doesn't push down all the way if the cigar is longer, but wouldn't that damage the cigar if the top got pushed down at all? Curious what all is out there. I have an interesting design idea. Not sure how I would put it into action though.

Some cheap Chinese one... no idea on the brand... it was free.

I have yet to use it, still prefer my good ol' herfador in most situations.

I probably own a dozen different travel options for carrying cigars. But, most often, I find myself taking the clear poly reclosable containers...about .02 mm....often with a 🇨🇮 printed on one side

I'm thinking about a 1-3 finger holder that extends and has no chance of smashing cigars. Also if there is anything out there that can change ring sizes to match the cigar you put in it. I think my idea is good, but like I said...would have no clue how to put it into action or if there is already something out there like what I am thinking. I don't want to give out my idea though, don't want any DB's stealing it...bahaha

You already did give out your idea...

Telescoping cigar holder that don't smash cigars... I can think of about 50 ways to do it... sign an NDA and give me $10k, I'll send you a napkin with a schematic on it.

I used to have a nice 3 finger leather with no spacers between... accommodated different widths well. Never had a problem with long ones being crushed. Have you ever tried to destroy a cigar that direction? Pretty tough...worse that can happen is cap damage....but never happened. If you were worried cut a piece or two of cedar for cigars longer than case.

I would be more worried about the foot getting messed up by smashing it down. Not saying it for sure would, just a thought.

I have a nice 3 finger for everyday use, but when I need something more durable, I have an old army first aid kit that has a waterproof seal that I put some foam from a pelican case. It has enough pressure it holds the sticks but not crush them. The case is also water proof and crush proof. Add a Boveda pack and I can carry 5 or 6 into any environment. Also, it was free. Not exactly expandable, but the tension from the foam makes it work for any size cigar without it banging around

I do have a 15 capacity herf-a-dor but that isn't easy to carry around all the time. I lent my "friend" my 5 ct an haven't gotten it back in over a year.
