HUMIDORS

The Humidor, Wellesley Hotel

The popularity of cigar smoking has never been greater and is gaining momentum with a strong following of cigar aficionados searching for the ultimate smoking venue. Whilst Luxury hotels search for new unique selling points to enhance their brands, it appears that humidors and smoking terraces may well become essential additions for luxury hotel brands.

The requirement of exacting environmental conditions to preserve the cigars is as important as the actual collection. With cigars such as limited edition Behikes to vintage Havana's being highly sought after by collectors, the return on investment is substantial and provide real added value if designed with the correct knowledge and implementation.

Following on from Fox Linton Associates’ recent involvement and design of the largest hotel humidor, located within The Wellesley, London. We have put together a collection of images that inspired our design narrative and to celebrate the new dawn of the humidor.
