Christian Lacroix founded his own brand in Paris in 1987, he stands out of the crowd by using a combination of strong colours and beautiful embroidery. Unapologetically glamarous, dramatic, and expensive-looking. Lacroix came to epitomize the 80's through his use of sumptuous fabrics (velvet, satin, taffeta) and overlapping patterns (patchwork, stripes). His followers described his signature look as having "panache" or "gaiety," while minimalists (though there were very few in the 80's) preferred to see his ornate bustiers and opera capes left to the stage.

Elie Bleu humidor maker in Paris

Elie Bleu is one of the most remarquable humidor store in Paris.

Elie Bleu is a boutique humidor-maker based in Paris and many says that its product are the best in the world. Many collectors are investing serious sums in a classic range of humidors finished in gorgeously understated veneers such as amboyna, palisandra, thuya and macassar, and the Flor de Alba range, an outré rococo blast of colour recreating the traditional Cuban cigar box, only in bright primary shades such as canary yellow, scarlet and, best of all, orange – a nod to Hermès.

Any Elie Bleu is a work of art and future collectible. Older humidors made by Elie Bleu founder Alain Berda are now starting to change hands for inflated sums, while the Che Guevara pop art humidor currently for sale is a notable departure from Elie Bleu’s normal style, and probably a future rarity.

Each Elie Bleu humidor is individually handcrafted in France from precious fruitwood and finished with fine coats of transparent varnish. Striking and distinctive protection for your fine cigars.

No you have your humidor buy cigars at following cigars shops: Le Lotus (almost in the same street) and La Civette du Palais Royal

Le Lotus - Cigar shop in Paris

Very good choice of Habanos in, Le Lotus, this very recent Parisian cigar shop located not far from the rue Royale and the rue Saint Honoré (10 minutes walking from Hermès and Elie Bleu).
Directed since its creation in 1999 by Régis Colinet, Le Lotus became very quickly a quite renowned place among the best the cigar shops of the capital.
The place is very small but full of good surprises like nice collection of humidors for example.
The strong point of this “civette” remains the technical skills of its team, which flash back on the quality of the conservation and the selection of Habanos. We appreciate as well the dialogue and the accompaniment of the initial or confirmed amateurs, and the fact that they display cabinet of 50 from which you can buy only one cigar.
One regularly finds there; rare cigars, aged or vintages (we found recently "El Septimo" cigars, a new brand very rare in France).
Look while entering the walk in, opposite you almost by the ground: you will find there certainly the rare affair of the day.
A cigar shop to be visited regularly with confidence.
Only weak point: a very small selection of non-cuban cigars (Saint Domingo - Honduras…) But we bet that you are not in Paris only for these cigars!!
