I just joined team otter box.  8)

I ordered:

(1) 5 Stick Caddy 3400-20
(1) 2 Stick Caddy 3140-20

from Paul at Vintage Chic'.

He honored that "Welcome New Customer" coupon for $10 off! Very cool!

I e-mailed him and told him I was shopping for best price and didn't need the cigar cutter or any of the extra's he throws in as I was using them to hold microphones. The shipped price he gave was better than anything I saw at any other site, including eBay.

+T's to the thread.

I got mine from him as well and he is a great seller.

Not sure what to use the cutter for since I don't smoke. Ideas?

thanks for the suggestion of the cigar box
fits two 3032's and windscreens -- squished on the ends
it is perfect for the brutal punishment of air travel
convincing TSA the mics aren't explosives should be interesting! ;)
Cheers!

Trying to decide if I need the two or five stick size for the Avantone CK1s. I'm going low budget right now with an old check box with some nice foam padding inside and a fold in the middle to keep them separated.  ::) Not very sexy, but does the trick and easier to haul then the wooden boxes they came in.

I believe the Avantone ck-1's are roughly the same size Ø as the 3032's
ck-1 = Ø 23mm // 3032 = Ø 21mm
so the two stick size Otterbox would fit them nicely
the mics are held firmly in place by the internal foam cushioning
I've been carrying them around with me the last few days while doing some location recording
and they haven't needed anything separating them

I just grabbed a two stick cigar caddy off of Ebay for my M210's. Excellent case for mic storage and at a very reasonable cost too.

Picked up a 2-stick on ebay this week for $11.25 incl. shipping.  Nice deal and a nice mic case.

Perhaps for larger mics like the LDS2, you could get the appropriate diameter of PVC pipe and glue screw-on caps to the ends. Then put foam inside the pipe, and in goes the mic. Would only be a few bucks in material.

I am in for a 5-stick... Your Order Has Been Processed! from vintagechiccigar will either do the e70's with extra caps or the 4041's in here.

/edit
haha..

IMPORTANT: I have your note on the cutter and lighter – THANK YOU for letting me know!  I’ll pass this on to some “deserving cigar smoker”  Pb

Thanks again,
Paul

I got the 5 stick caddy and the improved foam padding that only has 3 grooves. The grooves are deeper and better fit my Naks. I didn't need the cigar cutter, so I gave it to an older friend who smokes smelly cigars for reasons only he knows.

What's the improved padding? Three grooves would be much better.
