Henry Flagler's Cigar Humidor by H.M. Flagler & Co. x Daniel Marshall
When we had the idea to create a replica of Henry Flagler's cigar humidor, we knew there was only one person for the job. We reached out to California based humidor builder Daniel Marshall. As fate would have it, at that moment he was in South Florida and wanted to come see the humidor in person. He returned to California with detailed measurements and photos, and went to work. Henry Flagler's humidor was gift from the New York Yacht Club to thank Flagler for the use of his yacht, Alicia, as the committee boat during the 1895 America's Cup race. That year, American sloop Defender lived up to it's name and successfully defended the Cup by defeating the British cutter, Valkyrie III. The box was commissioned by Rear Commodore Bergen from Tiffany & Co. As you would expect from Tiffany's, it lined with sterling silver, and the engraved plate on the lid and enamel fittings are made with silver as well. The wood is mahogany. The flags on the lid are yacht burgees from various boats inclu
