While cigars are not for everyone, those who enjoy them can often be found lighting one up on the course. When it comes to accessories for the cigar-loving golfer, there is no shortage of options, but one of the most essential tools any smoker can own is a quality cigar case.
What began as a cold call between two strangers quickly evolved into a partnership that became Tübr Storage. It is a fascinating origin story, and if you want to read about it you can visit their website. Today our focus is on the product that made waves at the PGA Merchandise Show, The Tübr Gordo.
Has Tübr Storage created the perfect cigar case? Let’s find out.
The Tübr Gordo Alümen Cigar Case
If you are a golfer, putting a cigar into a golf bag without proper protection is just asking for trouble. Without a quality case, cigars can dry out, or worse, be crushed or broken inside your bag.
Tübr believes they have designed the perfect cigar case and a golf bag is one of the many uses for it.
The Gordo Alümen is made from aircraft grade anodized aluminum, which is not only rust resistant and ultra lightweight, its also incredibly strong. When you pick it up you immediately feel the the quality, giving you the confidence that your cigars will be well protected.
The Gordo Alümen is IP65 water-resistant, airtight, odor-proof, and crush-resistant, yet, somehow compact enough to hold two cigars up to a 65-ring gauge. Measuring just over 7 inches in length, the Tübr Gordo accommodates most cigars, with only a few exceptions.
The true differentiator here is the patent-pending design featuring a double O-ring system. This design seals the contents securely while pushing excess air out, creating a tight seal that you can both hear and feel.
The Tübr Gordo Alümen is available in three colors: Raven (black), Silver, and Gunmetal. Of note, the selected color applies to the top portion of the case; the bottom remains black across all versions.
- External Dimensions: 7.25″ x 2.5″ x 1.5″
- Internal Dimensions: 7″ × 1″ per chamber (176 mm × 25.5 mm per chamber)
- Weight: 10.4 oz (292 g)
The Gordo Alümen is priced at $99.99 and includes a velvet carrying bag.
Tübr Storage Plastic Options
“Gordo”
If the Alümen’s price point is a little high for your taste, Tübr offers a more budget-friendly alternative. The Gordo is also available in a lightweight, all-plastic version.
This version maintains the same airtight, water-resistant, crush-resistant, and odor-proof benefits as the Alümen. However, it weighs approximately 100 grams less and does not include the velvet carrying bag.
The plastic Gordo is priced at $39.99 and is available in black or white.
Other Available Products
Tübr also offers additional containers in a couple sizes. Given their odor-proof and freshness-preserving benefits, it is no surprise the company has expanded beyond traditional cigar storage.
“The Stash”
“The Stash” is a compact storage unit designed to keep smaller items fresh or protected. The company highlights uses such as medication and valuables, though there are clearly other applications depending on your needs.
Available in Wasabi, Ember, Raven, and Frost, “The Stash” is priced at $19.99.
“Kingz”
“Kingz” is an even smaller unit designed for pocket carry while maintaining the same level of protection as the larger models.
Available in Sky, Wasabi, Honey, Raven, and Frost, “Kingz” is priced at $19.99.
Final Thoughts – Tübr Storage
Tübr products are thoughtfully designed and perform as advertised. While they are not intended to replace larger storage solutions such as a humidor, they excel at portability, keeping contents fresh, dry, and protected while on the move.
I feel confident that either of the Gordo options would protect my cigars from damage in my golf bag or during a short trip.
Although the focus today was on golf, these Tübr products can be used for a variety of things. Use your imagination, whatever fits inside will be protected and dry.
