The latest outpost of Club Macanudo has opened as part of the Havana Club at the Miami City Club, a private membership club. The club opened in mid December with a party that featured performances by Jon Secada and Arturo Sandoval. The Club Macanudo lounge has couches, dining tables, wide screen televisions, and a retractable glass wall that turns the lounge into more intimate space. The Havana Club at the Miami City Club is located on the 55th floor of the Wachovia Financial Center and has amazing views. Members have access to a private humidor, concierge service, the Club's conference room and business center and reciprocal membership to other clubs. The club is limited to 800 members and dues are $300 per month plus a $5,000 initiation fee.
You could spend $2,500 on a poker set but if you are looking for something a bit more casual and perhaps the chance to put your money on the table rather than bring it to the table, cigar maker CAO has you covered. Their CAO Poker Bag has chips, cards, dice and a cedar-lined humidor fitted with a CAO Humidipak. The bag is made of ballistic nylon and sells for $200.
The Vegas Humidor designed by Elie Bleu is one of the more unusual pieces that we've featured here, as it actually does manage to capture the sprit of Sin City's high rollers. Shaped like a giant die, the humidor is made of natural sycamore and has Tahitian black mother-of-pearl circles inlaid on each face to make up the die pattern. One of the dots is not mother of pearl circle, but a small lock that opens the box. Inside, the humidor holds up to 100 cigars in its deep main compartment with two removable open-slat cedar trays. Price: $3,760.
The Bentley Collection has many beautiful pieces in it, built to the exacting standards that most associate with the brand, and their Bentley Humidor is exceptional. The handmade humidor has a solid walnut body, with walnut veneer and ebony beading. All the accents, including the lock plates and even the hinges are silver and it is equipped with the 'Credo' humidifier and hydrometer to maintain the ideal environment for your cigars. Price: £3,617.02 ($6,780).
For those cigar aficianados who enjoy smoking while driving, the Maybach Smoker Set by Dunhill is the ideal car accessory. A leather-trimmed humidor contains one of Dunhill's signature lighters and a custom-designed one-handed cigar cutter, so you can keep one hand on the wheel. Of course, it might take some practice before you can actually use the cutter with one hand, given that you'll have to maneuver the cigar into it and probably want to keep any part of it from falling onto the floor of your car, for neatness if nothing else. We don't have a price right now, but if you have to ask...
Stop using the awl on your old Swiss Army Knife and use this cupped cigar cutter with double honed edges for the
cleanest of cuts. Getting your smoke on with this utilitarian cigar cutter will set you back 2 Benjamins and 40
Washingtons.
Our protein-driven friend, Arnold, commissioned The Daniel Marshall Humidor company, based in
California, to create a limited number of Governor Seal humidors for special gifts. The bronze medallion on the lid is
covered in 24kt gold and has the California State Governor’s Seal. One of them will be going up for auction on
Ebay soon, and profits will go to his After School All Stars charity founded in 1992.
As we have seen
before Kaizad Hansotia's Beach Cigar Group makes flavorful, high quality cigars. The latest in the Gurkha group is the Gurkha Genghis Khan. One would
expect a cigar named after the fearsome Mongol chief to be super strong but it is actually a medium-bodied cigar. The
Genghis Khan is a 7 1/2" by 52 Churchill size with a Costa Rican maduro wrapper, Dominican binder and Dominican
and Honduran filler. The cigars are sold in a dome chest that holds 30 cigars and has a lift-out tray that reveals a
lower compartment for additional cigar or accessory storage. The chest sells for $249.95.
