Oliva and Elie Bleu join forces for a project to excite cigar aficionados. From 2023 up till 2025, Elie Bleu will each year build a rare collector’s item, a humidor that is a replica of a place that contributes to the Oliva story. The first humidor, representing Tabolisa 1, was presented at the PCA Convention in Las Vegas by Oliva owner Fred Vandermarliere and Elie Bleu CEO Laurent Fusch.
Oliva prides itself on four generations of craftsmanship. It is determined to continue to build its legacy on handmade premium products. Oliva is partnering with Elie Bleu, well-known worldwide for making luxury handmade humidors, to pursue this quest further.
123 HUMIDORS, 123 PREMIUM CIGARS
For this project, a marvelous piece of woodcarving will be an exclusive humidor and a replica of Tabolisa 1, the production unit of Oliva in Estelí, Nicaragua. No more than 123 of these humidors will be released.
Inside the exceptionally detailed humidor, the cigar aficionado will find 123 premium handmade cigars symbolic of the Oliva standards.
The cigars inside will be
- 41 Serie V Melanio Figurado
- 41 Serie V Torpedo
- 41 Serie V Maduro Double Robusto
A PRESTIGIOUS LAUNCH
At the PCA Convention in Las Vegas, Laurent Fusch, CEO of Elie Bleu, and Fred Vandermarliere, owner of Oliva, jointly presented the result of the collaboration. Both men commented on the background of this extraordinary partnership and the idea behind the trilogy.
Fred Vandermarliere: “Oliva has always been about much more than just cigars. It is about every aspect of a passion, about how to experience that passion each time again in a way that celebrates the heritage with rekindled joy. To partner up with the best humidor builder in the world is a tribute to what the brand Oliva stands for. I’m happy we launched part one and I’m already looking forward to parts two and three.”
Laurent Fusch: “Oliva is among those rare cigars that true aficionados worship because of its quality, philosophy, and journey. We are proud to become part of that journey through this project and to write a chapter in the history of the craft together. This collaboration gives us at Elie Bleu lots of energy and satisfaction. We can hardly wait to reveal the plans for the next two humidors.”
