Oliva and Elie Bleu announce Las Mesitas, the second humidor in their collaboration, as part of their planned trilogy of collaborative humidors.
It is named for Oliva’s tobacco processing hub in Nicaragua. The Elie Bleu Las Mesitas humidor is a replica of this facility, limited to 124 units produced.
“Making cigars is complex, very complex if you take into account the work from the seed to the cigars,” Oliva’s owner, Fred Vandermarliere, said in a press release. “With our trilogy of humidors that we can make with the master house Elie Bleu, we are very, very proud to present to you our second humidor, a masterpiece that showcases our Las Mesitas processing center. Last year, you had the ‘Tabolisa Uno cigar’ gallery; now, we show you where we process the leaves. Fermentation and sorting of the tobacco leaves are the core of making a cigar and ensuring its consistency over the years. There is no premium cigar without a premium sorting center, and there is no premium sorting center without a humidor made for it.”
The Las Mesitas humidor will be showcased during InterTabac 2024 in Dortmund.
