The Best Cigarette Cases: Our Picks
Buying and evaluation criteria for cigarette cases
To make it easier for you to choose your new cigarette case, we have summarised the most important criteria so that you can find the best cigarette case for you. These criteria are as follows:
In the following, we explain what you should look for in the individual criteria. This will help you make a well-informed decision.
Material
When it comes to cigarette cases, you can choose between a variety of different shapes and materials and let your personal preferences decide. Leather cigarette cases can be both rustic and very elegant. Leather and tobacco go well together in the sense that they are both natural products. However, the delicate leather can quickly become scratched and greasy. A case made of real silver, on the other hand, is durable and stable and can be engraved, but is correspondingly more expensive. Alternatively, a silver-plated case is suitable, but it loses its high-quality look in the long run. Finally, there are cigarette cases made of plastic, aluminium, copper and stainless steel, whereby engraving is also possible on the latter.
Colour
The variety of different models allows you to let your personal taste decide when choosing your next cigarette case. You can choose between all kinds of colours as well as different motifs. How about the logo of your favourite football club or your favourite cigar brand?
Dimensions
When choosing a cigarette case, its dimensions are also important. If you want it to replace your wallet and fit into your trouser or jacket pocket, the height, width and length of the case should be appropriate. The classic cigarette case is rectangular, but there are now also cases with a round design.
Weight
Do you plan to carry your cigarette case with you almost all the time? Then you should also consider the weight of the case when making your choice. If you value light weight, then aluminium cigarette cases are particularly suitable. But copper and plastic also score in terms of lightness. Cigarette cases made of real silver weigh between 70 and 100 g, which is close to the weight of a small smartphone.
Capacity
As well as the weight, the dimensions of the cigarette case also influence its capacity for cigarettes. Most cases have room for 10 to 20 cigarettes, while others can hold 30 to 40. The type of cigarette also plays a role – regular 85 mm cigarettes are slightly smaller than cigarillos, which are smaller than cigars. If you are in the process of reducing your cigarette consumption, cigarette cases with a smaller capacity can be helpful!
