Lot 1

ESPEJO DE LITTO

By: La Flor Dominicana

Starting Bid: US$20,000

Cigars: 150

Espejo de Litto goes far beyond anything ever created by LFD. Through craftsmanship and beauty this piece tells a story that should have never happened, of an outsider who shook up an industry through pure grit and with an unrelenting determination to do things his way. Through the smoke of three unique and never released blends, the story unfolds.

Origins – Calling back to vintage LFD flavor through the nostalgic notes of Cameroon, this cigar leads us back to the very beginning where an unlikely dream was cultivated.

Litto’s Revolution – The Chisel Tip, strikingly simple yet a bold rejection of the norm. Nothing better emblemizes Litto’s maverick attitude and vision of what a Dominican cigar could be. Full bodied, full flavored, and in every way LFD.

Futura – The past cultivates the future, and the fog of what lies ahead is characterized by the dark and enigmatic notes in this unique blend. Much of the story is yet to be told, and legacy awaits evolving in the shadows.

Bid: US$8,000

Cigars: 88

The Year of the Horse Masterpiece Humidor stands as a remarkable expression of artistic synergy, expert craftsmanship and refined aesthetics.

Born from the powerful collaboration of two distinguished artists, it unites creative vision with meticulous execution to offer a work of lasting elegance and precision. It is a conversation piece that carries the spirit of the Horse into the room: poised, dynamic and naturally captivating. Zino Davidoff, born under the sign of the Horse, understood this rhythm: the spark of individuality, the hunger for adventure, and the gift of turning a simple moment into a grand occasion.

Filled exclusively with Davidoff Year of the Horse cigars, specially created by Davidoff’s Master Blenders for this Masterpiece only. Each gran toro cigar is adorned with a beautiful second band in red with a green accent. The 88 cigars come arranged on a handy tray, which can be taken out of the humidor by its gold-plated handles.

The Year of the Horse gran toro cigar is composed of only proprietary hybrid seeds. It features Dominican vintage tobaccos in the filler which add complexity and smoothness to the 70 to 90 beautifully filled minutes.

This cigar opens with creamy milk chocolate and a touch of roasted nuts, offering a smooth and inviting start.

Through the middle, rich chocolate becomes more prominent, balanced by subtle acidity, floral hints, and a trace of spice. In the final third, roasted hazelnuts take the lead, joined by earthy tones and black pepper, with creaminess and cacao rounding out the finish. A warm, lingering aftertaste completes this nuanced experience.

Lot 4

CARLOS ANDRÉ – PACE

By: Arnold André

Starting Bid: US$3,000

Cigars: 100

A humidor. A moment. A unique piece.

Arnold André, a traditional cigar manufacturer and proud member of ProCigar, presents a humidor at the ProCigar Festival that breaks down the boundaries between craftsmanship, design and passion.

This humidor is an absolute one-off.

This exceptional “Made in Germany” humidor combines the highest level of precision with innovative details: An intelligent, patented compartment system with magnetic separator pins allows for completely flexible cigar storage. The combination of solid Spanish cedarwood and a mahogany tray ensures optimal air circulation and constant humidity distribution, supported by the highly precise MACHT humidification system.

Instead of classic surfaces, its outer shell is made of asphalt – a material that stands for roads, speed and automotive passion like no other. Asphalt carries movement, shapes curves and combines power with control. Raw, direct and uncompromising.

Inside, this extraordinary material meets the CARLOS ANDRÉ – PACE:

This cigar is a tribute to automotive passion and the most powerful of the three CARLOS ANDRÉ lines. A line full of volume and plenty of flavourful taste sensations. Intense. Spicy. Powerful. Earthy. A cigar for connoisseurs who know that true speed is not about tempo – but about perfect rhythm.

This humidor was created for a single occasion: whoever buys it at auction acquires more than just a humidor – they acquire a statement of asphalt, technical finesse and pure passion for enjoyment.

Lot 8

MARÍA VICTORIA PALMA (MVP)

By: Tabacalera Palma

Starting Bid: US$5,000

Cigars: 126

María Victoria Palma is not a humidor. It is a legacy object. Created to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Tabacalera Palma, this unique piece encapsulates nearly a century of history, craftsmanship, and family continuity. Inspired by the iconic Dodge Brothers truck “María Victoria” (1924) — an authentic family relic — the MVP transcends functionality to become a true collector’s object, conceived to endure through time.

This humidor represents the point where memory, design, and conservation engineering converge. A piece conceived not for the market, but for history.

The “María Victoria” truck (1924) symbolized the very beginning of the journey for decades: the transportation of tobacco, dreams, and hard work. Today, its silhouette lives on, reinterpreted in this piece as a tangible homage to the foundations of Tabacalera Palma.

Named in honor of María (daughter of Jochy) and Victoria (his granddaughter), the MVP symbolizes three generations united within a single object. Past, present, and future contained in one form.

Statement of Value for the Auction

María Victoria Palma is an unrepeatable piece. This is not a limited edition — it is a unique anniversary creation, conceived as a physical testament to 90 years of tobacco history.

To acquire the MVP is to acquire: an object of genuine historical value, a functional work with museum-grade character, and a tangible symbol of lineage, tradition, and prestige.

This auction does not simply offer a humidor. It offers the opportunity to become the custodian of a legacy. A piece that cannot be replaced. A story that cannot be repeated. An object destined to remain where true collections belong.

Lot 9

FAMILY CREED: FUERTE SOL

By: La Aurora

Starting Bid: US$10,000

Cigars: 122

Inspired by the León Family Creed, this one-of-a-kind Family Creed: Fuerte Sol Signature Collector’s Humidor stands as a deeply personal expression of legacy, values, and continuity. It honors “a proud family of rural origin, forged through persistent work under a strong sun,” and the principles that have guided the León family across generations. That sun — unwavering and powerful — is the spirit behind Fuerte Sol.

An original design crafted by Livi León herself, fourth generation of the León Jimenes family, the Signature Collector’s Humidor reflects the strength born from family unity, hard work, and respect for the land — the same elements that give Fuerte Sol its character, depth, and purpose, and that continue to define La Aurora’s heritage and pursuit of excellence.

Shaped from Saman wood, a noble tree of the Caribbean and the Cibao Valley, revered for its resilience and longevity, the humidor carries profound symbolism. The Saman tree withstands the elements, grows tall beneath the sun, and offers shade and protection — much like the values that endure within the León family. Meticulously hand-carved with flowing tobacco leaves, the exterior is finished with a deep, satin-like varnish that enhances the warmth of the natural wood and is adorned with the Family Creed emblem.

The cedar-lined interior bears a hand-painting of the Finca de Jacagua by Livi León — a landscape shaped by early mornings, open land, and the quiet discipline of work done beneath the sun. Depicting the finca at sunrise, the painting captures the moment where everything begins, with a strong sun that gives life, purpose, and direction, encapsulating the essence of Fuerte Sol.

Within, the humidor preserves and elevates its contents: 122 Family Creed: Fuerte Sol the same number of years that La Aurora have, each rolled in an exclusive Belicoso Box Press vitola, created solely for this Signature Collector’s Humidor and never to be released again.

The piece is accompanied by a personal letter from Guillermo León, President of La Aurora, further honoring the significance behind this unique creation.

A singular expression of Family Creed: Fuerte Sol — for the collector who understands that true legacy is built over time, that strength is forged, not given, and that the rarest pieces are those that carry meaning and can never be replaced. Because nothing is stronger than Fuerte Sol.

PROCIGAR OFICIAL HUMIDOR 2026

By: Procigar

Starting Bid: US$7,000

Cigars: 132

Where Art, Celebration, and Tobacco Become One Some pieces are crafted.

Others are born from a moment.

This extraordinary humidor, meticulously handcrafted by HumidifGroup, is more than a collector’s item — it is a living memory of the spirit that unites the Procigar family year after year.

It all began with an idea.

Local artist Laura Franco set out to capture the essence of the White Dinner Party of the Procigar Festival — elegant, classic, and full of character. Every detail of her design was intentionally chosen to reflect the atmosphere of the evening and the identity of the Festival itself. The result is a composition that tells a story in pattern, movement, and texture.

Her artwork does not simply decorate the humidor — it completely envelops it. The design flows seamlessly across every surface, combining diverse patterns into one harmonious expression. Each angle reveals something new, inviting the viewer to pause, explore, and rediscover the piece again and again. It is immersive, bold, and deeply connected to the celebration it represents.

Beneath this artistic statement lies exceptional craftsmanship. The humidor is constructed with precision and care, honoring both the tradition of fine woodworking and the ritual of cigar preservation.

When opened, it reveals twelve individual compartments, each personally autographed by a Procigar member. Inside each rests ten exclusive cigars from their respective factories — a rare and intimate contribution that transforms this humidor into a symbol of camaraderie, unity, and shared passion. Sealed within are not only cigars, but the collective pride of an entire industry.

This is not simply a humidor.

It is a celebration preserved in wood and art.

A story of elegance, fellowship, and fire — waiting for its next chapter.
