Frequently Asked Questions

What material is The Vizcaya (Makore) made from?

The Vizcaya is constructed from solid makore wood, a dense hardwood known for its deep reddish-brown grain and natural resistance to moisture. The exterior is polished to a satin finish, while the interior is lined with a soft satin fabric that cushions each cigar and helps retain its ideal humidity level.

Does the case include a humidifier?

The Vizcaya does not contain a built-in humidifier; it relies on the natural humidity-retaining properties of its satin interior and the wood’s ability to moderate moisture. For short trips or environments with stable humidity, the case protects cigars well, but longer journeys may benefit from a separate humidifier packet.

How many cigars can it hold?

The case is designed to accommodate up to three standard-size cigars, typically 5 to 6 inches in length. Its interior slots are gently tapered to hold each stick securely without crushing the wrapper, making it suitable for most popular vitolas while keeping the overall footprint compact.

Is the magnetic closure reliable for travel?

The magnetic closure provides a firm seal that clicks shut with a single motion, and it has been tested to stay engaged during typical travel vibrations. While it is reliable for daily commuting and short flights, users who anticipate extreme jostling may prefer a case with a latch or screw-type lock.

Can I use the case in humid climates?

Yes, the makore wood naturally resists moisture, and the satin lining helps maintain a stable micro-environment for the cigars. In humid climates the case will not trap excess moisture, but it is advisable to store it in a climate-controlled area or add a small humidifier packet if you plan extended storage.
