Abstract: A cigar storage and transportation container is disclosed which includes inner and outer tubular components which are telescoped one within the other. A sealed container is achieved by closing the tubular members at opposite ends, and the interior of the container may be accessed by pulling the tubular members apart. In its side wall, each tubular member includes an opening, and the openings on the tubular members are positioned so that, upon relative rotation of the tubular members, the openings can be brought into varying degrees of alignment. With the openings fully aligned, communication is provided between the interior and exterior of the container, so that a cigar stored therein may readily be exposed to the regulated environment of a humidor. With the openings fully out of alignment, an effective seal is provided between the interior and exterior of the container, thereby preserving the freshness of the cigar.
