THE DESIGN
Ziricote is one of the most striking woods used in fine cabinetry, prized for its dark, almost black grain streaked with irregular, cloud-like markings. Its signature is a pattern cabinetmakers call spider-webbing: fine black lines that branch across the surface like ink dropped in water. It appears only in certain cuts and cannot be predicted from the log, which is why premium Ziricote is graded by figure rather than by board foot — and why the panels on each humidor are selected and matched by hand. This Large Diamond puts that material to work at full display scale.
THE CRAFT
Boveda packs supply the moisture, working in both directions — releasing it when the interior dries and reabsorbing it when the level climbs — and a dynamic dual-fan ventilation system circulates that humidity through the cabinet, so over 70 cm and more than a hundred cigars the far end holds the same level as the packs themselves. There is no distilled water and no sponge: the packs are replaced when they begin to stiffen, typically every two to four months. Internal LED lighting turns the interior into a display the moment the drawer opens. The humidor opens on a solid oak drawer with a Blumotion soft-close mechanism rather than a lid, so opening it does not release the conditioned air in a single movement, and solid timber rather than veneer keeps the front flat over years of humid air on one face and dry room air on the other. Interior lined in Okoumé.

CARE
Keep the humidor below roughly 21 °C and out of direct sun — above about 24 °C tobacco beetle eggs can hatch inside a cigar. A soft, dry cloth is all the wood needs, with no polish and no solvents. Handmade from natural materials: expect gentle variation in grain and tone from the photograph.
