SIERRA MAESTRA COLLECTION

The Sierra Maestra Collection is created for those who carry their cigars with care, and with a sense of occasion. Designed and made in Britain, these crossbody cigar cases offer a refined solution for travelling well, without the weight or formality of a traditional humidor.

Each piece is crafted from certified Italian vegetable-tanned leather, selected for its strength, natural character, and the way it matures with use. Over time, the surface softens and develops a deep, individual patina, reflecting the journeys it has taken and the hands that have carried it. Those interested in the qualities of fine leather and what defines a well-made case can explore more in our guide to choosing the perfect leather cigar case.

Inside, structured compartments provide discreet protection, keeping cigars secure against pressure and movement while maintaining an elegant, slim profile. The hands-free crossbody design makes the collection equally suited to daily commuting, long-haul travel, or an evening out, offering confidence that your cigars are properly housed without drawing attention.

For those new to cigars, the Sierra Maestra Collection brings reassurance and simplicity. For seasoned smokers, it delivers thoughtful functionality and material integrity. For gift buyers, it offers lasting value in an object that feels personal, purposeful, and beautifully made.

Understated in appearance and precise in execution, these cases speak quietly of quality, longevity, and craftsmanship, designed to become better with age, just like the cigars they protect.

How well do the Sierra Maestra cases protect cigars while travelling?

Each case is handmade in Britain with a structured interior that helps prevent cigars from being crushed or knocked, offering reassurance when carrying them through daily commutes, flights, or social engagements.

What makes Italian vegetable-tanned leather different from other leathers?

Vegetable tanning is a traditional process that uses natural tannins rather than chemicals. It produces leather that is durable, breathable, and capable of developing a rich patina, while retaining its strength and shape over time.

Will the leather change in appearance as the case is used?

Yes. With handling and exposure to light, the leather will gradually soften and deepen in colour, forming a natural patina that is unique to each owner and reflects years of use.

Do these cases replace the need for a humidor?

They are designed for transport rather than long-term storage. The close-fitting, structured interior helps protect cigars and limit short-term environmental fluctuations, but a proper humidor remains recommended for extended ageing and humidity control.

Are the cases suitable for someone new to cigars?

Very much so. The design offers simple, reliable protection without complicated maintenance, making it easy for newcomers to carry and care for their cigars with confidence.

What level of durability can be expected from a handmade case?

Crafted by British leatherworkers using traditional techniques, the cases are built for longevity. The vegetable-tanned leather and reinforced structure are intended to withstand years of regular use.

Are Sierra Maestra cases suitable as gifts?

They make considered gifts for both new and experienced smokers. The quality of the materials, the restrained design, and the way the leather matures over time give them lasting value beyond the initial presentation.
