  • Each year, Elie Bleu produces a limited edition masterpiece that pays homage to the beautiful architecture found in Havana, Cuba, as part of their Casa Cubana series. These, in my opinion, are quite simply the most beautiful humidors being produced today and showcase the incredible marquetry capabilities for which Elie Bleu is so well-known.
    Elie Bleu is a renowned French brand specializing in luxury humidors, accessories, and other objets d'art. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, the brand merges aesthetic elegance with functional design. Using premium materials like rare woods and intricate marquetry, each Elie Bleu piece becomes an heirloom, reflective of the brand's commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and tradition. Favored by discerning collectors and aficionados, Elie Bleu elevates the experience of preserving and enjoying cigars to an art form.

    Really cool humidors, and maybe this is a hot take... but I am not a huge fan of the painted style. To me, it looks almost a tad bit like a child painted the boxes with watercolor. I am not trying to take away from the exceptional craftsmanship but I'm curious if anyone else feels this way as well.

      I don’t think Cuba is too difficult to travel to! However, trying to bring Cuban goods back to the states seems almost impossible without finding a legal loophole through another country. This is based on pretty surface level research though, I could be wrong.

    I had to chuckle at "the ravages of modern architecture". Cities are living beings and evolve. They're dynamic and the architecture is a reflection of that. The contrast between old and new makes urban development exciting and fresh, in my opinion. Take the Louvre and the glass pyramid entrance, for example. Love it or hate it, but the juxtaposition of traditional and modern is at least an interesting fusion and a hallmark of how planning, architecture, and aesthetics evolve.
    Anyway, carry on!

    • @EasyMac308

      One thing you can say about architects is that they all want to try to make their mark on the world. I personally find modern architecture uninspired and boring, even buildings from the "best firms in the world". Then again, even as someone who's traveled through the US, Europe and Asia, I find even the best-planned urban setting to be oppressive to my soul.

    Sorry Kirby but even if I had the money to purchase such a humidor, if £12,600 didn’t matter or make a dent in my account, I still wouldn’t buy one. I’d rather show off the beautiful wood grain than paint or laser cut over it.
