The Masterpiece Series II, created for the “Masterpiece” collection of Rose Saneuil embodies calmness by using warm colours embellished with golden leaves in an abstract representation of a sunset.
She artistically intertwined three dimensions of time in her approach:
Time as the ultimate luxury; a moment of serenity and reflexion, which she created in her design with a sunset. The limitation of time was inspired by the image of evaporating smoke, creating wreaths and movement in her design to reflect the vanishing of time. For the third dimension of time, when time seems to be standing still, Davidoff has provided exceptional vintage tobacco leaves harvested in 1994 which inspired the artist of the perfect moment.
These tobacco leaves reflecting the moment of eternity are part of the iconic artwork, now conserved with the humidor for eternity.
Rose Saneuil trained at the renowned École Boulle, the French School of “Fine Arts and Crafts and applied Arts” where she discovered her passion for marquetry. Her deep knowledge of materials and creativity drove her to create and master her own secret technique – only Rose Saneuil mixes different materials within one piece of marquetry, resulting in her own distinctive and unique style. Her dedication, passion and talent have earned her collaborations with prestigious brands including the Swiss luxury watch manufacture Piaget.
After the collaborations with the Davidoff Masterpiece Humidor „Damajagua“ in 2017 and „Terroirs“ in 2019, Davidoff and Rose Saneuil collaborate for a new series of two Masterpieces inspired by the notion of time.
This series stands proof once more how Davidoff’s sense of excellence and craftsmanship is intimately connected to the art of cigar making, and ultimately the enjoyment and time beautifully filled one feels with Davidoff cigars.
The Masterpiece Humidor Series II is designed with a shimmering effect, while the combination of darker colours of tobacco with vibrant golden hues reflects warmth.
The materials chosen by Rose Saneuil incorporate gold leaves, tobacco leaves, mother-of-pearl, parchment and woods from vavona burl and sycamore trees. The body of the Masterpiece Humidor is from precious Macassar woods all treated to reflect a richer and more vibrant appearance. Each piece is handcrafted and assembled piece by piece on the humidor.
This exceptional and very limited cigar is handcrafted in an elegant 6 x 52 Toro format, providing a creamy, nutty and fruity aroma at the start, building to sweet notes of caramel, corn and hazelnut, with hints of citrus flavours in the second third. The Ecuador wrapper, and the hybrid 238 Ecuadorian binder contribute both to the smooth and aromatic retro-hale, creating a cigar with an exceptionally clean finish and palate-pleasing stimulations of sweetness and spiciness. The final third is building on the creaminess with additional sweet notes of chocolate.
