KEVO 5 Travel Cigar Case | IP68 Shockproof Hard ABS

Hard ABS IP68 1-Ton Shockproof

The KEVO 5 is the travel case for aficionados who don't compromise on protecting their cigars. Its rigid ABS shell with a grid texture resists up to 1 ton of compression without deforming. IP68 certification guarantees total dust and water resistance — even with short immersion. The interior egg crate foam gently holds each cigar by friction without crushing or marking it. The integrated wrist strap allows for hand or shoulder carrying. Capacity: 5 cigars. Compact size: 18 × 12 × 4 cm. Unique black finish.

🛡️ Hard ABS, IP68 & Egg Crate Foam — Three Layers of Protection

ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is the go-to engineering plastic for protective equipment — military cases, professional toolboxes, helmets. Rigid under compression, it doesn't deform under load and doesn't transmit shocks to the interior. Its raised grid texture structurally reinforces the shell while improving grip.

IP68 certification is the highest level of waterproofing for portable equipment: total protection against dust (index 6) and water immersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes (index 8). For a cigar case, this means complete protection in the rain, in a wet bag, or in tropical conditions.

The interior egg crate foam (convoluted foam) absorbs vibrations and holds each cigar by gentle friction — soft enough not to mark the wrapper, firm enough to prevent any movement. It is cut into two half-shells that envelop the cigars when the case is closed.

IP68 + 1 Ton — Protection Leather Cases Can't Offer

Leather, carbon, or aluminum cigar cases offer protection against moderate shocks and scratches. They cannot compete with an IP68 certified ABS shell resisting 1 ton of compression. The KEVO 5 is in a different category — that of professional protective equipment applied to the world of cigars.

The egg crate foam in two half-shells completely envelops the cigars when the case is closed — no hard surface touches them. The closing latch ensures a hermetic seal. The wrist strap made of braided cord means you never have to place the KEVO 5 directly on a dirty surface. For adventurers, frequent business travelers, and golfers, this is the case you take when you take your cigars seriously.

Usage — 4 Steps

1
Preparation before departure: If the journey lasts more than 24 hours, slip a travel-size Boveda 69% pack into the bottom of the case before loading your cigars. The egg crate foam retains residual humidity for short trips — Boveda takes over for longer journeys.
2
Loading cigars: Open the KEVO 5 and place your cigars in the bottom egg crate foam. Close the lid — the top half-foam envelops and holds each cigar by friction. Ensure the latch is securely engaged and the seal is in contact all around the perimeter.
3
Transport: Slip the KEVO 5 into your bag, suitcase, or carry it by the wrist strap. It resists compression (checked luggage), water splashes (rain, patio), and shocks. On a plane, it passes as carry-on without restriction.
4
At destination: Open the latch, take out your cigars — they are in the exact condition you loaded them. For prolonged storage at your destination, transfer them to a local humidor. The KEVO 5 is your transport partner, not for long-term preservation.

IP68 — what it concretely means: The IP rating is read in two digits. The first (6) = total protection against dust — no particles can enter. The second (8) = waterproof to immersion in fresh water up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes. For the KEVO 5: rain, humid covered patio, soaked bag, drop in a puddle — no risk to your cigars. Only prolonged immersion or in salt water exceeds the limits of the certification.

Boveda pack for long trips: The egg crate foam retains residual humidity suitable for trips under 24 hours. For trips longer than 24 to 48 hours, insert a Boveda 69% size S pack into the bottom of the KEVO 5 before loading your cigars. It maintains stable humidity for several weeks without refilling, within the confined space of the case.

Travel case, not a storage humidor: The KEVO 5 does not have an active humidification system or Spanish cedar. The egg crate foam retains residual humidity for short trips. Beyond 24 to 48 hours, add a Boveda pack and transfer your cigars to a humidor at your destination. The IP68 protects against external water — it is not an indicator of internal humidification.

🎁 Cigar Gift — the serious traveler's equipment

The KEVO 5 is the perfect cigar gift for the avid traveler who doesn't want to risk their best vitolas: IP68, 1-ton resistance, egg crate foam, wrist strap — everything for maximum protection on the go. An accessory the recipient probably doesn't have yet, and whose usefulness they will only truly understand after the first use.

Ideal for a birthday, business gift, or going abroad. Pair it with a torch lighter and a compact cigar cutter to create a complete cigar travel kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does IP68 certification offer compared to a standard case?
A leather or fabric case offers limited protection against external moisture — rain or a wet bag can damage cigars. IP68 certification guarantees total dust protection and waterproofness to immersion in fresh water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. For a regular traveler, this is the difference between decorative protection and real certified protection. Rain, condensation, damp patio, airplane cargo hold — no risk.
Does egg crate foam mark cigars?
No — the egg crate foam (convoluted) is designed to hold by progressive friction, not rigid pressure. The foam tips adapt to the diameter of each cigar and hold it without crushing it. The wrapper is not in contact with a hard surface. For fragile cigars or those in very thin cellophane, orient each cigar so that the head rests on a full cell rather than between two tips.
Does the KEVO 5 maintain humidity during travel?
The egg crate foam retains residual humidity that limits drying for trips under 24 hours. The IP68 seal confines this humidity inside — the hermetic case slows evaporation. For trips longer than 24 to 48 hours, insert a Boveda 69% size S pack into the bottom of the case. The KEVO 5 is primarily for protection against shocks and external water — not an active humidor.
Can the KEVO 5 be taken on a plane?
Yes — in carry-on or checked luggage. The ABS shell resists 1 ton of compression, making it impervious to rough handling of checked bags. Cigars are not restricted items in carry-on in almost all countries. IP68 certification also protects against humidity variations in pressurized cargo holds. In the cabin, the KEVO 5 fits in a backpack or under the seat.
What cigar sizes are compatible?
The KEVO 5 has an interior length of 18 cm. Compatible sizes include: Robusto (124 mm), Corona (140 mm), Toro (152 mm), standard Churchill (178 mm). Long Churchills (over 180 mm) slightly exceed the interior dimensions — check the exact length before purchasing. The egg crate foam adapts to all standard diameters (ring gauge 38 to 60) without modification.
Is the wrist strap strong?
The integrated wrist strap is a braided cord attached to a ring on the ABS shell. It allows you to carry the KEVO 5 by hand or attach it to a bag, belt, or equipment. It is sized for the weight of the loaded case (5 cigars + shell). Avoid attaching other loads to the wrist strap — it is designed for carrying the case alone. In case of intensive outdoor use, regularly check the attachment ring.
Is the KEVO 5 a good gift for a travelling cigar enthusiast?
The KEVO 5 is a cigar gift particularly suited for enthusiasts who travel regularly — business trips, outdoor sports, golf, hiking. IP68, 1-ton resistance, egg crate foam, wrist strap — an accessory that many enthusiasts don't yet have and immediately understand the value of. Paired with a torch lighter and a compact cigar cutter, it makes a complete and memorable cigar travel kit.
