I received a three finger case as a gift, but unlike most, the fingers are sewn together with a thick leather barrier between them. The holes are too small for even corona size cigars. All I could think was to shove some tubos into the outside slots to stretch them wider. Is there a better way than this?

Well.. I'll let everybody know how well this works!

I dunno but I wear leather shoes & leather belts.
And they don't stretch that easily.
Maybe if it was made of spandex or lycra like the camel toe girls wear?

Quality does not occur by chance. It is the result of intelligent activities.

Maybe if you wet it, and then stick the tubo in there? Then when it dries hopefully it will be stretched.

Or blast it with hot steam from one of those portable steam cleaners and then stick the tubo in there.

Unfortunately you are screwed. The thing is to bring along some cigars in the size you like to smoke and try them in the case you want to buy. Also, it has been my opinion that the sewn finger cases are less versatile. If you have a pyramid or other odd shaped cigar, the contoured cases are more accomodating.

I have an Ashton that holds everything I smoke perectly. Why? Because I walked around the cigar shop trying every size cigar imaginable to see if they would fit. The guys in the shop didn't mind (I asked first) and in fact decided to recommend that to their customers in the furture. Seems they had been getting some returns lately.

If you bought it locally and haven't mangled it yet, see if they will let you exchange it for a bigger one. If not, consider it a lesson learned and try to like smoking smaller cigars.

Also, NEVER believe web descriptions regarding ring gauge. Most of these are way wrong. I saw two cases advertised as 54 ring capacity and when I actually tried putting a cigar in them, a 48 ring robusto was a snug fit.
