by Fanny Lora
SHE is reborn as a flower every spring; life, color, flavor, fragrance, and texture are born from her. SHE walks and dances among the fields, like a butterfly showing off its beauty in front of the sun. Flirty, feminine, passionate, “ELLA”.
“In this masterpiece, artist Fanny Lora, always connected with nature, pays a tribute to women dedicated to the hard and delicate tobacco process. By using wood, she simultaneously expresses the duality of its hardness and delicateness that are present at the fields and the factories.
Samán, Oak and mahogany alternate, achieving a refine polychrome contrast for the different aromatic stages of the leaf with the shape of the feminine torso and its base.
For a final touch, a strong beating heart in clay (rakú) emulating those of our women field and factory workers who not only give us their strength, also their soul.” – Jaime A. Sued

Lot 13: Benji Menendez Commemorative Humidro
by General Cigar Dominicana
The cigar industry has grown greatly thanks to certain men and women whose leadership, passion and willingness has helped others grow and develop by sharing their vast knowledge. Together, they form the base of a great legacy that has turned the Dominican cigar into the best one worldwide.
On this special occasion we are honoring one of those special gentlemen, a living legend, whom you may call a “tobacco artist” and who developed some of our best blends. Through him, we all have learned what it means to genuinely love cigars. We are referring to the one and only Benjamin “Benji” Menendez.
Born and raised in Cuba, he learned about tobacco by working alongside with his father in Havana when his family was the majority owner of Menendez, Garcia y Cia., which at the time was the largest cigar factory in Cuba – the H. Upmann factory.
In 1960, Benji left Cuba, and began a new journey abroad. In the 80’s he joined General Cigar where he became instrumental in taking this organization to a new level and has been credited with helping to grow iconic brands such as Macanudo and Partagas, among others.
Tonight, we celebrate Benji and his legacy by showcasing one of his most iconic and celebrated blends, the Partagas Master
Series, which was one of the Top 25 cigars by Cigar Aficionado in 2009. Now in an unique and elegant Salomon size, which has never been released before. This rectangular shaped humidor made with centennial mahogany wood contains 100 of these Salomon cigars.
