Their much-coveted humidors have gained strong fol- lowing from connoisseurs since the 1990s and come in a wide range, from the classics to the most eccentric designs. Think portrait of The Che, leop- ard-prints, skulls… the choice is quite impressive and their quality absolutely impeccable. Fashionable yet timeless, Davidoff proposes a large accessories selection of the highest quality. The centerpiece of their range is the humidor and their latest offerings are quite exclusive: French furniture maker Daniel Clément has collaborated with Davidoff on 10 limited edition pieces of its Géant Humidor in glass marquetry. One month is needed to create each piece, with each of its 800 glass fragments cut by hand. This exclusive Da- vidoff Humidor Géant by Daniel Clément stores 190- 250 cigars and is only available at Davidoff Hong Kong in Asia. Another limited edition is Davidoff Cave de Paille: in collaboration with straw marquetry special- ist Lison de Caunes, this series of three Davidoff Dome humidors were created to mark Davidoff's partnership with Art Basel. Using the art of straw marquetry and seeking inspiration from the pat- terns of time and the life of a cigar, each humidor season illustrates the journey a cigar makes, from the growing of a tobacco leaf to the enjoyment of a cigar. Some 50 to 60 cigars can be stored in this exclusive piece, and only one piece of the Saison II humidor is currently available at Davidoff Hong Kong stores. Slightly more affordable, the Zino Graphic Leaf humidor, a contemporary interpretation of the classic line, is offered in bright and dynamic co- lours with a tobacco leaf pattern to celebrate the ingredient at the heart of a cigar. It stores 50 to 60 cigars and is available in Davidoff Hong Kong stores from November.
