The first humidor, the Cohiba 55 Anniversario, was presented for the first time in May 2021, after the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was designed by Nous Group and produced by Humidores Habana, which has been creating humidors for Habanos S.A. for over 20 years.

L'humidor Rare Le Rituel & le Cohiba Ambar

cohiba rare le rituel and cohiba ambar humidor

The second item up for auction will be the first edition of Rare Le Rituel, described as a tasting cabinet combining a bottle of Champagne Rare Millésime 1988 and 44 of Cohiba Ambar, a new cigar from the brand.

It measures 32 cm high, 32 cm wide and 64 cm deep, and is made of sycamore, okoumé, gold, silver and mother-of-pearl. The motifs on the sides and inner lid are inspired by the sun and moon. The humidor was designed by Elie Bleu, the French company that has been making humidors since 1976.

Inside the humidor are a bottle of champagne, 44 Cohiba Ambar cigars, an ashtray, a cigar cutter and cedar leaves. The Cohiba Ambar is a new vitola not only for the Cohiba brand, but for the entire Habanos S.A. portfolio. It measures 5 1/5 (132mm) x 53, an extra robust vitola known as Placeres. The Cohiba Ambar has not yet been commercialized and nothing is known about it, except that it will be sold in boxes of 10. In the catalog, Habanos S.A. describes it as having medium to full strength, offering a strong tobacco flavor from the first puff, with a drier note developing in the second third. The final third is described as "unctuous, tannic and spongy", while retaining the dry note of the beginning.

The winner of the auction will walk away with 48 additional bottles of champagne, 24 bottles of Rare Millésime 1998 and Rare Millésime 2008.
