OLIVA Cigars has announced launching a limited edition Elie Blue humidor to mark a tumultuous year around the world.
The XXI Selection humidor will contain 95 cigars from across the Oliva range, including a host of former award-winners and innovative vitolas.
The collaboration with Elie Bleu is a collector’s edition and includes a brand new cigar, personally designed by Cortès owner, Frederik Vandermarliere.
“It’s a real delight to me that within the Vandermarliere Cigar Family, we have the capability, expertise and contacts to be able to create a magnificent humidor like this for real lovers of full-bodied handmade cigars,” said Fred Vandermarliere.
“This is the pinnacle of cigar making and we are thrilled to be able to offer these beautiful, limited edition humidors for sale.”
Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurino
The new cigar is called Figurino and will only be released in 21 single sticks as part of the new humidor. It is a short figurado (5.5 by 52) and the cigar marks the first time that Frederik Vandermarliere and Gilberto Oliva of Oliva Cigars have created a brand new cigar since their collaboration began in 2016.
“Figurino came about after long discussions between myself, Gilberto and the team at Elie Bleu,” explained Fred Vandermarliere, in announcing the launch of the new humidor, which will be available in selected stores from the beginning of next year”
“It seemed appropriate to place 21 of these beautiful new cigars in our new humidor, made, of course, in 2021. Only 21 humidors will ever be made. And the price? €21,000, of course.”
The Figurino features a Habano wrapper, and a Nicaraguan Filler and Binder.
