The Ultimate Cigar Connoisseur Collection — Luxe Living Giveaway #3
The Ultimate Cigar Connoisseur Collection
There are gifts, and then there are statements. This is the latter. The Ultimate Cigar Connoisseur Collection is a curated trinity of the world’s most coveted cigar-related objects — assembled for the person who has everything, and appreciates only the finest.
This collection brings together three extraordinary pieces: the Assouline Impossible Collection of Cigars — the definitive luxury coffee table book on the subject; a box of Montecristo Sublimes Edición Limitada 2008 — one of the most sought-after Cuban limited editions ever released; and the Daniel Marshall 500-Count Limited Edition Humidor — the crown jewel of humidor craftsmanship, sourced from The Index Luxury Cigar Purveyors.
Together, these three pieces represent the pinnacle of cigar culture. Whether displayed as a collection, gifted to someone extraordinary, or enjoyed over a lifetime of fine smoking, this prize is unlike anything else on offer anywhere in Australia.
This is not a prize. This is a legacy.
Assouline: The Impossible Collection of Cigars
Published by Assouline — the world’s most prestigious luxury publisher — this is the definitive volume on the art of the cigar. Authored by Aaron Sigmond, the book envisions the ultimate humidor brimming with the 100 most remarkable cigars of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
This is not a book you read. It is a book you experience. Hand-bound using traditional artisan techniques, with colour plates hand-tipped on art-quality paper, and presented in a traditional dress trade cigar box, it weighs 18 pounds and stands 20 inches tall. Each page bears the unique imprint of the craftsman who made it.
Part of Assouline’s Ultimate Collection — the most exclusive series in publishing. Retail price: $1,400 USD.
Montecristo Sublimes Edición Limitada 2008
From the legendary Habanos S.A. — the custodians of Cuba’s finest tobacco — comes one of the most celebrated limited editions in the history of the cigar world. The Montecristo Sublimes Edición Limitada 2008 is a box of 25 hand-rolled Cuban cigars in the Sublime vitola: 6½ inches of dark, oily, perfectly constructed perfection.
Known for its exceptionally smooth smoke, complex flavour profile, and the kind of construction that only Cuba’s master torcedores can achieve, this is a cigar that aficionados have been hunting for nearly two decades. Medium to full strength, with notes of dark chocolate, leather, cedar, and earth — it is a smoke that demands your full attention and rewards it completely.
Sourced from The Index Luxury Cigar Purveyors. A box of 25. Highly collectible. Increasingly rare.
Daniel Marshall 500ct Limited Edition Humidor
Daniel Marshall is the name in fine humidors. Period. His pieces are collected by heads of state, Hollywood royalty, and the world’s most discerning cigar enthusiasts. The 500-Count Limited Edition Humidor is his masterwork — described by The Index as “the Crown Jewel in humidor craftsmanship.”
Crafted in rich burl wood with a high-gloss lacquer finish, brass hardware, and a gold hygrometer, this humidor features four lift-out cedar trays that hold up to 500 cigars in perfect humidity-controlled conditions. The Spanish cedar interior is precision-fitted to maintain ideal humidity levels, protecting your collection for decades.
Sourced from The Index Luxury Cigar Purveyors. Retail price: $12,900 AUD. This is the humidor you never sell.
