Hand-Painted Cigar Theme Limoges Box

Made for the cigar smoker who appreciates a good draw and a quiet room, this porcelain box takes up a classic cigar theme in colorful painted motifs. The work was done by hand in Limoges, France, where porcelain boxes have been made for centuries.

Smoke Rings and Leather Chairs

A fine cigar has always been tied to celebration, from new babies to signed deals. This piece carries that spirit to the shelf, with its theme painted by hand so the details and colors differ slightly on each box.

Humidor Neighbors

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a cigar, tobacco or gentleman's study grouping
• Sits well with cognac, golf and hunting pieces

Lit for the Occasion

Consider it for Father's Day, a retirement send-off, a fiftieth birthday, or the closing of a big business deal. It also makes a thoughtful thank-you for a best man or a groomsman. Anyone who keeps a humidor or belongs to a cigar club will recognize the theme at once.

A Fired Tradition

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, which gives it a dense, bright body. The color comes afterward, applied by hand once the white piece has cooled. Keep this one on a library table, beside a leather chair, or on a den mantel.
