1660 “Gucci” Bee on White Ostrich Cigar Box Purse

Where to start? There is a lot going on with this sensational cigar box purse! A designer inspired, up cycled bee brooch has been added to the white ostrich decoupaged image on the front of this cigar box purse- gorgeous! Four half pearls surround the bee brooch just because. The cigar box itself is stunning- a red and white, Romeo and Julieta, Romeo, Magnum with the beautiful and classic Romeo and Juliette balcony label and red Romeo logo on the inner lid! The back of the cigar box has the original black velvet and I added four gold corner protectors to the back and two to the front of the purse. I lovingly lined the inside of the up cycled cigar box purse with padded and plush red velvet and gold trim. The handle is made up of gold, red ,pearl and crystal beads and a vegan leather gold tassel. The cigar box has been flipped so that the opening is now on the top and has been given a gold three ball lock for security. Eight gold purse feet have been added to the back and bottom for protection. Gold hardware has been attached to the sides so that you may add a strap that you already own. This makes these little cigar box purses of mine versatile in that they can be worn by the handle, over the shoulder or cross- body. I sell straps and gold and silver cross body chains too. The chain in the last photo is available, but not included. 7.5 x 10.75 x 2.75″ THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC CIGAR BOX PURSE, SO SMALL FLAWS INFLICTED BY THE SMOKERS OF THE CIGARS ARE TO BE EXPECTED! They add character and charm! Large flaws will be noted in the description. If you don’t like what you see, I can do custom cigar box purses and can include anything you like!- pictures of family members, pets, places- you name it!

History: Shakespeare’s most famous theatrical work, Romeo & Juliet, has captured imaginations and served as global inspiration for over 500 years. Inocensio Alvarez and Manin Garcia used this inspiration to establish Romeo y Julieta in 1875 in Cuba. After a number of years producing highly respected, top quality cigars, Alvarez and Garcia’s dedication to the brand paid off. Romeo y Julieta earned numerous gold medals at tasting exhibitions between 1885 and 1890; propelling the brand to increased notoriety around Cuba and the rest of the world. The future of Romeo y Julieta would now be in new hands after Jose “Pepin” Rodriguez Fernandez and his firm, Rodriguez, Argüelles y Cia acquired the brand in 1903. As a consummate cosmopolitan and salesman, Pepin constantly promoted the brand across Europe and America – his active marketing efforts included entering his horse (aptly named Julieta) into racing events across the world. Romeo y Julieta cigars quickly became exchangeable around the world as the best of the best, coveted by famous and wealthy customers. Shortly after Pepin’s death in 1954, the Cuban Revolution in hand with the nationalization of the cigar industry, brought new challenges for the brand. Romeo y Julieta was eventually re-established outside of Cuba in 1976 and produced at the Tabacalera De Garcia in La Romana, Dominican Republic. Tabacalera de Garcia continues to produce the brand for U.S. consumers today. Romeo y Julieta cigars have enjoyed over 140 years of recognition and continue to be coveted by cigar aficionados. No Romeo y Julieta customer was more renowned than Winston Churchill himself. An avid Romeo y Julieta customer, a vitola, was named in his honor (the eponymous Churchill, a 7” x 47 ring gauge cigar) and remains a flagship of the brand to this day. In addition to the Churchill, Romeo y Julieta was also known for specializing in figurados, such as perfectos and pirámides, during Pepin’s leadership. The new ROMEO by Romeo y Julieta line launched in 2012, bringing a modern twist to the heritage brand. Rated 94 by Cigar Aficionado in 2012, No. 3 Cigar of the year. The Romeo brand continues to grow in a prosperous direction.
