Puro Travel Collection
Each city has a soul—a unique blend of history, culture, and character that shapes its identity. At Puro Connoisseur, our first collection, “Cities,” celebrates the profound connections between cigars and the iconic destinations that inspire us. Rooted in craftsmanship and storytelling, these cases are more than accessories; they are a journey into the essence of these legendary places.
New York City Black
The City That Never Sleeps
In the towering skyscrapers of New York, the echoes of cigar smoke once intertwined with the ambitions of visionaries. From the private cigar rooms of Wall Street magnates to the artistic haunts of Greenwich Village, cigars have always been a mark of status and creative inspiration in the Big Apple.
Legend has it that John D. Rockefeller, the iconic industrialist, would unwind with a cigar at the end of a relentless day. He once remarked,
“I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.”
This spirit of resilience and ambition is embodied in the sleek, bold design of the New York City Black case—a tribute to those who thrive in the hustle and bustle of urban life.
Marrakesh Sand
Where the Desert Breathes Stories
Marrakesh, the heart of Morocco, has long been a crossroads of trade, culture, and adventure. The ancient caravans that traversed the Sahara carried exotic goods, including the first hints of the tobacco leaf, brought from the Americas and cherished by travelers and traders alike.
One of the most famous visitors to Marrakesh, Winston Churchill, often painted its golden sunsets with a cigar in hand. He once said,
“My tastes are simple: I am easily satisfied with the best.”
This sentiment inspired the Marrakesh Sand case, blending the mystique of the desert with the sophistication of cigar culture. It’s a piece of the Sahara you can carry wherever the winds take you.
Havana Brown
The Heartbeat of Cuba
Cigars are as synonymous with Havana as the rhythmic beats of salsa music and the vintage cars cruising along the Malecón. The Cuban cigar has transcended borders to become a global symbol of luxury and artistry.
Ernest Hemingway, who spent years in Havana, famously enjoyed cigars as he wrote masterpieces in the vibrant city. He declared,
“In order to write about life, first you must live it.”
The Havana Brown case reflects this ethos—a rich, warm leather design that captures the passion and vibrancy of Cuba. It’s a statement for those who dare to live boldly and love deeply.
Dublin Green
An Emerald Tradition
In Dublin, where the air is crisp, and the charm of tradition lingers in every pub and cobblestone street, cigars have always been a mark of celebration and camaraderie. Irish poets and scholars would gather with cigars in hand, engaging in debates fueled by whiskey and wit.
James Joyce, the literary giant, once mused,
“Life is too short to read a bad book.”
The Dublin Green case channels this spirit of quality and depth, offering a nod to Ireland’s timeless elegance. With its rich, verdant tones, it is a companion for those who appreciate life’s finer details.
Beijing Red
A City of Fire and Fortune
Beijing, a city where ancient traditions meet modern innovation, has long been a place of power and symbolism. In the 16th century, tobacco reached China via Portuguese traders, and the practice of smoking quickly became a status symbol among the elite.
One of China’s greatest thinkers, Confucius, though never a cigar smoker, left a sentiment that resonates with aficionados:
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
The Beijing Red case captures this enduring spirit, with its bold hue and commanding presence. It’s for those who stand out in a crowd, embodying confidence and vision.
