One of the cool lessons in physics is what happens to the Otterbox after you've been on a plane. The latches are loose but the box stays VERY shut. You need a coin to pry it open.

I've had the yellow box for a few years now and it's still working great. The pressure relief valve comes in handy after you've been on the plane. I bought the yellow one to keep my cigars dry when we go on our annual float trip on the Current river. The bright color is a lot easier to see when it falls overboard and you're not seeing real well.

My only complaint is the foam is pretty floppy. Cigar Solutions has some stiffer inserts that I just bought and they work great. They come in both robusto and churchill sizes so you can make your box hold 18, 20, 22 or 24 smokes.

Just received a 5 count otterbox. It says it will hold churchill sized cigars. Will it handle torpedos or robustos? Or do I need new foam...I can't tell if it'll crush them or keep them firmly in place....

It will take care of them just fine... I have a couple of large ring gauge Indian Tabacs in mine and they are OK.

Cheers,
