The forms of single cigar packaging include: aluminum tube packaging, glass tube packaging, plastic tube packaging, single carton packaging, and small wooden box packaging.
1. Aluminum tube packaging
Aluminum tube packaging is very common now, and Davidoff even has its own patent for its middle-opening aluminum tube. Aluminum cigar tubes first appeared in the mid-1940s and were quite common by the 1950s. The aluminum tube helps keep the cigar from physical damage and short-term hydration. If you store them in a humidor, the cigars will need to be removed from the tube. The shapes of aluminum tubes include screw caps, double-section sleeves, etc.
2. Glass tube packaging
The history of using glass tubes for cigars is older than aluminum tubes. Glass tubes were introduced around the 1940s, when aluminum tubes did not exist. Used on a large scale. By the fifties and sixties glass tubes became common. Whether it is Cuban, Dominican, Honduran, American or European cigars, glass tubes are used. It was not until the mid-1970s that many brands stopped using glass tubes.
3. Plastic tube packaging
Plastic tubes can be transparent or opaque, with top caps. Most cigars using plastic tubes are now machine-made cigars, and the protective effect of plastic tubes on cigars is not ideal.
4. Single carton packaging
A slender carton contains a cigar, such as Cohiba, or the Padron 1964 Presidential Edition launched this year. Packed in carton. Most of the single cigars packaged in cartons are handmade, and the quality tends to be relatively good.
5. Small wooden box packaging
Use a small painted or unpainted sliding lid box, and put one cigar in a box. This kind of packaging is usually used. They are relatively good cigars or large cigars, and some are used because of the special shape of the cigar, such as Partagas Coiled Snake, EGG cigars, etc.
