Kansas City, MO- Though it is one of life's great pleasures, the finest cigar in the world is worthless after being crushed in your pocket.

XIKAR President Kurt Van Keppel explains the evolution of the Envoy, "The same reasoning behind our Xi cigar cutters extends to our cigar cases: superior function and form to make smoking a cigar that much more enjoyable. Style, however will never be overlooked, and the Envoy now offers the aficionado a style they can call their own."

In colors of cognac, red, blue and black, the Envoy cigar case holds three cigars up to 54-ring gauge each. With top-grain, armada leather, the piece has a well-dressed appearance and a soft feel. White contrast stitching on the black leather, silver on blue and tan on cognac secures the leather, giving it a contemporary look. Jet black stitching adorns the red case, giving a sports-car appearance that leaves other cases in the dust.

The inner lining of the crush-proof-case, crafted with genuine cedar, holds the ambient humidity of the cigar and projects the fresh cedar smell of a humidor on every opening. Stylish metal caps cover each end, reinforcing the strength of the case.
