One of the most unique humidors created by Yankel Ginzburg
called "The Shah" was given its name after gathering with
the artist and His Imperial Majesty, Reza Shah II of Iran.
The limited edition humidor was inspired by the 17th century
Royal Peacock Throne of Persia. It takes Ginzburg and his
assistants eight weeks to construct wach work of art (the lid
alone weighs 22 pounds). The humidor sells for a mere $15,500,
a portion of which goes to The Children of Iran Foundation.
Ginzburg has also created four other humidors that are a bit
less pricey.


William Flores and Carlos Flores, Jr. along with
Jose Perez of Flor de Florez cigars show their
