Cigar Case Stitching
I came across this cigar case today and noticed it had a raised seam on the inside part of the case. A case with out the raised seam would seem to be more eligant. Is that a purely astetic choice? Or is it too hard to do a butt stitch like in the cigar case video corse in a large scale production setting?

Hi John. This is a traditional way of making a cigar case. A butt stitch could be used, but that would prevent makers from machine stitching the outside seams. Butt stitching would require a more skilled workforce, and more time, both increasing expenses.
I believe the style you linked is pre-stitched, then put onto a mould for final shaping.
If you are hand stitching cigar cases, you have the luxury of doing what you want!
