A Mythical Place
Trophée du Cigare, distinction: "The best European Civette of the year 2003″, Location: Hôtel Métropole - Paris
Location
La Couronne Sa., fully deserves its mythical reputation.
Built in a centuries-old building, our humidor faithfully recreates what connoisseurs expect when they enter this magnificent world.
The design of the humidor was a long-term project. We wanted the cigar lover to rediscover the round, fine curves of the finest vitolas, the magic of the ephemeral shapes of the wisps of smoke from the cigar as it is consumed. The colors were chosen in harmony with the magnificent cigar boxes we found on the market. Our main concern was to give these objects the visual value they deserved. The warm tones were chosen precisely to evoke the cigar's countries of origin. The idea was to give customers the privilege of "letting go", so that they could forget everyday life for a few moments and indulge in the greatest pleasure of a cigar aficionado: choosing their precious cigars.
The walls are covered with photos taken during trips to cigar-producing countries. They show each of the essential stages in the making of the perfect cigar. Tabaceros, Master Blender in action, factory owners, tobacco fields, fermentation stages.
As you enter our world, you'll find a vast choice of cigars, which you can select individually. The choice is exhaustive and the quality carefully controlled. You'll find vitolas from the four main countries we work with: Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Honduras.
More than 2000 cigar varieties are waiting to be revealed to you. If you search further, you'll discover an exceptional choice of cigars in boxes of 10, 25 and 50 cigars or half-wheels. Some of these pieces are extremely rare. Entering our store is like going on a treasure hunt. With no surprises in store, you never know what we'll be able to unearth in the name of your greatest pleasure and wonder.
The eye of Zino Davidoff, immortalized in a bust that is unique in the world, will remind you of the great master he was, his generosity and his great knowledge of cigars.
Carlos Fuente Jr, a man I greatly respect for his entrepreneurial courage and creative genius, will inspire you to push your discovery of new flavors even further. His photo hangs in our cellar, which, as you will have gathered, is also a place of homage to these great men of tobacco. The Padron family, the Levin family, Placencia, Oliva, Avo Uvezian, Davidoff, Litto Gomez, and so many others, are at the heart of our daily passion.
