If you’re serious about cigars, you’ll know that storing and preparing them properly is just as important as the cigars themselves.
Enter Elie Bleu, a Parisian brand synonymous with elegance, craftsmanship, and the art of cigar appreciation. Known globally for its luxurious humidors and impeccably designed accessories, Elie Bleu has long been considered the gold standard for those who want to enjoy their cigars in style.
Whether you’re a long-time aficionado or beginning to curate your own collection, this guide will walk you through the world of Elie Bleu and the beautiful cigar accessories available in the UK at Havana House.
The History of Elie Bleu
Elie Bleu was founded in 1976 in the historic Faubourg Saint-Antoine district of Paris, an area renowned for cabinetmaking and fine woodworking. From the outset, the brand focused on producing exquisitely made wooden objects, from jewellery boxes to humidors, combining traditional woodworking techniques with contemporary design.
Over the years, Elie Bleu’s reputation grew, particularly among cigar lovers, and the brand became an icon in the world of cigar storage and accessories.
Every Elie Bleu piece is handcrafted in France using fine woods that are air-dried for years before being shaped, polished, and lacquered. Their meticulous attention to detail and flair for design has attracted a global following, with customers including royalty, presidents, and discerning collectors.
Today, Elie Bleu is known not just for its products, but for representing a lifestyle of slow luxury, craftsmanship, and appreciation for life’s finer things.
Elie Bleu Humidors: Where Function Meets Art
The cornerstone of Elie Bleu’s offering is its range of luxury humidors, widely regarded as the finest in the world. Elie Bleu humidors are more than just storage boxes; they’re heirloom-quality pieces of art designed to protect your cigars in perfect conditions.
Available in sizes ranging from compact 25-cigar boxes to large 250+ capacity cabinets, each humidor features a meticulously engineered interior that maintains ideal humidity levels.
Elie Bleu uses only the best materials: Spanish cedar interiors, top-of-the-line analogue hygrometers, and a patented humidification system to ensure precision climate control.
But what truly sets these humidors apart is their visual design. Collections like Flor de Alba, Medals, Casa Cubana, and Che showcase the brand’s artistic roots, featuring inlaid marquetry, lacquered finishes, and bold, often playful themes.
Elie Bleu Flor de Alba Bubinga Humidor
Inspired by the original Cuban cigar boxes and labels, Elie Bleu’s Flor de Alba humidor is beautifully designed to inspire the very best from your cigar collection. Created with the finest natural Bubinga wood, a hardwood from Africa, this is a truly exquisite humidor and a worthy home for your best Cuban cigars.
This Flor de Alba humidor has space for 75 cigars, and also contains a humidifier & needle hygrometer, plus lock & key entry. It is also available in black and red designs.
Elie Bleu El Secadero Limited Edition Humidor
The drying house for tobacco has been beautifully downsized into a handmade humidor. The El Secadero is a limited and numbered edition from 1 to 99.
It has a capacity for 75 cigars, and contains one humidifier and one needle hygrometer.
Whether you prefer classic woodgrain or eye-catching artwork, there’s an Elie Bleu humidor to match your taste, and it’s a guaranteed conversation piece in any cigar room.
Elie Bleu Cigar Cutters: Precision and Style
No cigar experience is complete without a quality cutter, and Elie Bleu makes some of the finest. Their double-blade cutters combine sleek design with razor-sharp functionality, engineered to provide a clean, effortless cut every time. These cutters are available in a variety of finishes, including precious metals, lacquer detailing, and wood accents that complement their humidors.
Each cutter is not just practical but beautifully crafted, often sold with a protective leather sheath to keep it in top condition. Whether you’re prepping a robusto or a petit corona, Elie Bleu cigar cutters offer the precision and polish that a luxury accessory should.
Elie Bleu Double Blade Cigar Cutter
Released in 2016 to celebrate 40 years of Elie Bleu, the Double Blade cigar cutter features the signature square double blade system. The cutter is made using Japanese tempered surgical stainless steel blades for a sharp and precise cut. Either side of the cutter has comfortable finger handles, to allow you to cut the cigar with ease. Designed to accommodate cigars up to a 58-ring gauge.
Elie Bleu Double Blade Cuban Flag Cigar Cutter
The Elie Bleu Double Blade Cuban Flag Cigar Cutter is a stunning tribute to Cuba’s rich cigar heritage, combining luxury, precision, and craftsmanship. Featuring razor-sharp stainless steel dual guillotine blades, it delivers a clean, effortless cut, ensuring an optimal smoking experience. Designed for cigars up to a 58-ring gauge, it accommodates various vitolas with ease.
Elie Bleu also offers a collection of premium lighters, ideal for those who value both performance and presentation. Models such as the J-12 (double flame) feature ergonomic shapes and reliable ignition systems, encased in stunning designs that mirror the artistry found in their humidors.
Lacquered finishes, engraved detailing, and rich colours make these Elie Bleu lighters stand out, more akin to high-end jewellery than utilitarian tools.
Elie Bleu Cigar Ashtrays: Functional Elegance for Every Smoke
No cigar lounge or at-home smoking setup is truly complete without a great ashtray, and Elie Bleu’s cigar ashtrays are just as refined and thoughtfully designed as the rest of their accessory range.
Designed specifically for cigars, Elie Bleu ashtrays feature deep, wide trays to hold ashes securely and wide grooves to cradle larger ring gauge cigars without tipping. The ashtrays have options for two or 4 cigars, making smoking with friends even easier.
Elie Bleu ashtrays are made from high-quality porcelain and finished with vivid, kiln-fired colours and distinctive motifs that echo their humidor collections, such as Le Parisien, Flor de Alba, and the Che series.
Whether you’re placing one in your home lounge, study, or garden smoking space, an Elie Bleu ashtray adds a note of luxury to every cigar break. These ashtrays don’t just serve a purpose; they enhance the experience, turning a routine ash flick into something elegant.
Perfect as a centrepiece or a complement to other Elie Bleu pieces, they also make superb gifts for aficionados who already have the basics covered. And of course, they’re available through Havana House, making it easy to build a coordinated set of accessories that reflect your personal style.
When you’re on the move, an Elie Bleu cigar case ensures your favourite sticks travel in complete safety, and serious style. These cases are designed to hold two or three cigars, with a firm exterior to prevent crushing and a soft-lined interior to keep cigars fresh.
Like all of Elie Bleu’s products, the cases are beautifully finished, some with classic leather exteriors, others with bold colours or motifs like Cuban scenery. They’re an ideal gift for a cigar lover or the perfect personal investment if you enjoy cigars while travelling or at social events.
