Davidoff Cigars presented a new series of limited edition Masterpiece humidors, designed by the renowned French marquetery artist, Rose Saneuil.<\/p>\n

True to the brands philosophy to fill time beautifully, Rose Saneuil was commissioned to design a series of two Masterpiece humidors inspired by the notion of different aspects of time and the artistic interpretation thereof. The first Masterpiece humidor series will launch in September and is limited to only eight pieces globally.<\/p>\n

The second series will follow in November. „Collaborating with artisans and artists mastering unique skills is not only a cornerstone in our innovation strategy but always a possibility for us at Davidoff to learn, get inspired and expand our creative horizons,“ says Edward Simon, Chief Marketing Officer of Oettinger Davidoff AG.<\/p>\n

In her approach, Rose Saneuil artistically intertwined three dimensions of time: Time as the ultimate luxury<\/em>, a moment of serenity and reflexion which is reflected in a sunset. The limitation of time<\/em> and its easy evaporation which is inspired by the image of evaporating smoke. For the third dimension, when time seems to stand still, <\/em>Davidoff has provided exceptional vintage tobacco leaves harvested in 1994 which inspired the artist of the perfect moment. These tobacco leaves reflecting the moment of eternity are part of the iconic artwork, now conserved with the humidor for eternity.“Working with Rose, observing her creative approach and ability to translate into materials and techniques with a level of detail and dedication second to none, was a true privilege. These two Masterpiece humidors along the exclusive cigars surely are valuable collectors‘ items,“ Edward Simon continues.<\/p>\n

The Davidoff Masterpiece humidor series 2020 I and II<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented in September 2020, the Masterpiece humidor series I embodies calmness by using harmonic colours embellished with golden leaves in an abstract representation of a sunset.<\/p>\n

Derived from her inspiration, Rose Saneuil combined exclusive materials such as gold leaves, tobacco leaves, mother-of-pearl, parchment as well as woods from sycamore, walnut and wenge trees while the body of the Masterpiece humidor was crafted from pear wood in a grey tint.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Following in November, the Masterpiece humidor series II is designed with a shimmering effect, while the combination of darker colours of tobacco with vibrant golden hues reflects warmth. The materials chosen by Rose Saneuil incorporate gold leaves, tobacco leaves, mother-of-pearl, parchment and woods from vavona burl and sycamore trees. The body of the Masterpiece humidor is from precious Macassar woods all treated to reflect a richer and more vibrant appearance.<\/p>\n

Both series will be accompanied by 50 unique Davidoff cigars. Exclusively blended by Davidoff’s Master Blender for these limited Masterpiece humidor series.<\/p>\n

The Masterpiece humidors<\/strong><\/p>\n

The interior of the humidors is made of Gabon wood, known as okoum\u00e9, from central West Africa. The okoum\u00e9 is hand varnished to seal the humidity more effectively so that it will not be constantly absorbed by the wood. Each Humidor is equipped with three proprietary Davidoff De Luxe regulators which guarantee the stable humidification between 70 and 72%.<\/p>\n

Exclusive Masterpiece Series I cigars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each humidor is accompanied by 50 unique Davidoff Masterpiece Series I cigars, blended by Davidoff\u2019s Master Blender exclusively for this Masterpiece series. This special and very limited edition pleases with notes of spice, leather and wood deriving from the well-aged Dominican filler tobaccos. The aroma is on the sweeter end, with elegant notes of toffee and the retro-hale reinforces the woody and spicy notes. In the second third, the interaction between the Ecuadorian wrapper and binder delivers creaminess and black coffee notes with hints of prune. In the last third, the aroma becomes much creamier, still with notes of wood, spice and cacao.<\/p>\n
