There are humidors and there are humidors, but the Elie Bleu boxes are something special. What are the greatest challenges for a humidor maker? Finding quality raw materials, like flawless and odor laden Spanish cedar from South America.
Elie Bleu makes humidors, jewelry boxes, boxes for pen collectors, cigar accessories etc. The cases with the small circular windows are for displaying wrist watches.
The two humidifers are doused every once and awhile in distilled water. They maintain the humidor at a perfect 70 degrees humidity. My own Elie Bleu's have varied vary little over time and keep a constant humidity level with little effort.
If you don't want one of the more classic styles, you can opt for a limited edition "Che" humidor which includes a leather bound edition of Das Kapital.
After such a difficult visit at Elie Bleu, the LL team decided to continue its search for good taste and lo and behold, La Maison du Whiskey. Who would have thought to find such a collection of Scottish good taste in France?
Take your pick, all the major terroir are represented in this store
Islay, Speyside, Highlands, Orkney, Irish, Bourbons...
Why not a Japanese scotch? The twenty year old from Nippon was delicious.
The camera is fine, there are occupational hazards to looking for good taste.
Cheers!
