Bespoke Louis Vuitton Humidor Trunk for $68,000

A stunning Louis Vuitton humidor trunk capable of holding 1,000 cigars is being offered for sale by London's Pullman Gallery for $68,000. The bespoke "Malle Cigares" is based on a 1926 design known as the Stowkowski trunk. The hinged doors open to reveal a superb marquetry-inlaid removable humidor and a fully fitted interior, comprising two small drawers for cutters and accessories above a further nine humidified drawers graduating in size. All the drawers are cedar lined with divisions and drawer fronts in lacquered rosewood with leather and brass pulls. The lid of the trunk is lined with suede and the exterior is covered in Vuitton's famed monogram canvas with brass trim and side carrying handles in leather. Truly one of the world's most exclusive humidors, it took nine months to create.

Lormarins 1200 Launch Leads £10M of Classics Through Mayfair

London's packed with exotic and classic automobiles, but the usual array was no match for the parade that drove through the city's Mayfair neighborhood the other day. Some £10 million worth of classic motors – including a 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C Monza and a 1957 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France – were led through the streets to the home of fashion icon Alfred Dunhill by none other than former world champion Jody Scheckter in a 1952 Jaguar C-Type, with the South African ambassador riding shotgun.

The event was held to announce the launch of a new classic rally in South Africa. Modeled on the iconic Mille Miglia in Italy, the Lormarins 1200 will be held for the first time this October around the country's Western Cape wine region, with some 40-50 classics anticipated to participate.
