"45th Anniversary Elie Bleu" Humidor
A humidor limited to 45 pieces for the 45 years of existence of the French Tabletier.
We are in 1976 in the heart of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, a famous Parisian neighborhood which was renowned for its craftsmanship for a long time, especially that of the 18th century cabinetmakers. It was in this exact location that the first Elie Bleu workshops opened their doors. It was the birth of what would become the epitome of "French know-how" in the creation of objects belonging to the world of "tabletterie": watches, jewelry, boxes, but above all, exceptional cigar humidors. And this, from rare wood species, manufactured in an artisanal "Haute Couture" spirit.
While the cigar market is booming in the United States, an American journalist discovers Elie Bleu cigar humidors and immediately recommends them to his readers. Thus, these precious works of art will quickly conquer an international audience, which will propel the House among the list of the best craftsmen of luxury accessories intended for the aficionados.
The first Elie Bleu boutique opened in the 8th arrondissement of Paris in 1997. Resulting from a real know-how, the quality of the humidors elaborated by Elie Bleu reaches an exceptional level. For its production, the manufacture gathers the noblest materials, by selecting the most precious woods and the rarest exotic species.
Making the marquetry, planing, fitting, sanding, varnishing and polishing... This work of assembling and adjusting the wood requires a lot of know-how and precision. Worthy of the most meticulous jewelers, the House's passionate and specialized craftsmen work for four to six months to deliver one of these masterpieces with a resolutely distinguished appearance.
For its 45th anniversary, the Elie Bleu workshops have once again demonstrated their unparalleled expertise with the creation of the new "45th Anniversary Elie Bleu" humidor, which traces the history of the world and its wonders, the power of civilizations and the taste for wealth.
Just like the famous "50 Aniversario Humidor" of Cohiba, its design was conceived by Jean-Philippe Matin, which explains their similar layout. Handmade from a very rare wood, the smoked eucalyptus, its front is decorated with a magnificent world map made from yellow sycamore. It is accompanied by a mother-of-pearl cardinal star executed in marquetry as well as 14 inlaid medals, representing some of the world's greatest buildings: the White House in the United States, the Taj Mahal in India, the Arc de Triomphe in France, the Chichén Itzà in Mexico, the Sydney Opera House in Australia, the Forbidden City in China and many others.
Its English-style opening reveals four drawers, each equipped with a hygrometer and humidifier, designed to preserve cigars in the best possible conditions. The interiors elaborated with alcantara give an elegant finish to this work of art.
Dedicated to the accessories that accompany this humidor, the trap door of the lower level reveals an Obsidian ashtray with 5 notches, a leather cigar case of 2 units and a beautiful table lighter. This set will truly become an essential in the collection of an aficionado and will allow a daily use all in elegance.
Like all Elie Bleu humidors, the "45th Anniversary Elie Bleu" will become a legacy that can be passed on to future generations. Its rare and timeless exterior veneer and meticulously designed interior will preserve your favorite cigars in a case of unparalleled class.
With this new humidor, the French tabletier pays tribute to mankind and the marvels it has built over the course of its existence and, more broadly, to civilizations. But it also represents the celebration of its 45th anniversary, which explains why it has been produced in a limited series of 45 individually numbered pieces. The "45th anniversary Elie Bleu" offers a storage capacity of about 200 cigars in the best conditions.
For decades, Elie Bleu has put all its creativity into its creations, whose tradition is faithfully preserved. The use of the finest materials, the most meticulous marquetry work and the highest quality of preservation make Elie Bleu cigar humidors true personal treasures.
