Festival del Habano 2019 H.upmann Humidor

Humidor Features Herman Upmann was a German banker whose love for Havana cigars (Habanos) led him to settle in Havana in 1840. In 1844, he founded a bank and a Havana cigar factory, although the bank later failed. However, his Havana cigar brand has survived to this day, exemplifying the most refined Havana cigars ranging from mild to medium strength. The stability and security of the bank inspired this piece. This compact and symmetrical structure not only highlights the value of its contents but also ensures their proper protection. Four container sections are arranged around a central axis, creating a superstructure that evokes a tobacco leaf. This piece features interesting light and shadow effects. Similarly, the highlight of this piece is the key symbol located in one of the sections, referring to a lock, with an interesting component made of precious metals on one side. Other symbolic elements include metal bars crossed on the sides and faux screws, reminiscent of a bank's security system. This piece blends two wood colors. It has 20 drawers, accommodating 500 Havana cigars, and has 4 spaces for sealed boxes, bundled cigars, or tobacco bundles.
