為了紀(jì)念佛羅里達(dá)州之父亨利·弗拉格勒(Henry Flagler),,雪茄盒制造商丹尼爾·馬歇爾( Daniel Marshall)推出了一款復(fù)刻版的雪茄保濕盒,。這些雪茄盒一共生產(chǎn)了10個(gè),,長(zhǎng)12英寸,寬7英寸,,高6英寸,。每一個(gè)雪茄盒售價(jià)是2995美元,。
無論你是否熟悉亨利·弗拉格勒這個(gè)名字,你的生活很可能受到這位商人成就的影響,。亨利·弗拉格勒聯(lián)合約翰·洛克菲勒創(chuàng)建了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)石油公司(Standard Oil),,開發(fā)了邁阿密、棕櫚灘等城市,,修建了佛羅里達(dá)東海岸鐵路,,他是鍍金時(shí)代(Gilded Age)的一位極具影響力的人物。
亨利·弗拉格勒酷愛雪茄和游艇,,100多年前,,他將自己的游艇“艾麗西亞”號(hào)借給1895年美洲杯游艇比賽的組委會(huì)使用,紐約游艇俱樂部為了向他表示謝意,,贈(zèng)送給他一個(gè)定制雪茄盒,。那一年,美國隊(duì)擊敗了英國隊(duì),,衛(wèi)冕冠軍獎(jiǎng)杯,。
為了紀(jì)念這位人物,棕櫚灘的亨利·弗拉格勒博物館(Henry Flagler Museum)委托雪茄盒制造商丹尼爾·馬歇爾重新制作了弗拉格勒的蒂芙尼雪茄盒,。
復(fù)刻版與原版一樣使用了桃花心木,,雪茄盒頂部裝飾了一塊刻有Flagler首字母的純銀牌,還鑲嵌著幾塊描繪游艇旗幟的純銀徽章,,這其中就包括紐約游艇俱樂部的旗幟,。
復(fù)刻這款雪茄盒的工作交給丹尼爾·馬歇爾是再合適不過了,他從事雪茄盒生產(chǎn)已經(jīng)超過40年了,。很小的時(shí)候丹尼爾就在造船業(yè)做木工活,,這讓他對(duì)大海和雪茄富有深厚的熱情,如今他將這種熱情用來再現(xiàn)弗拉格勒的雪茄盒,。
亨利·弗拉格勒博物館本月早些時(shí)候在棕櫚灘游艇展上舉辦了一次慶?;顒?dòng),慶祝復(fù)刻版雪茄盒的發(fā)行,。大概125名嘉賓出席了發(fā)布會(huì),,其中包括物館館長(zhǎng)凱莉·霍普金斯·弗拉格勒(Kelly Hopkins Flagler),她是亨利·弗拉格勒的曾曾孫女(great-great granddaughter),。
Daniel Marshall has built a humidor in honor of the man who built South Florida. Whether the name Henry Flagler is familiar or not, chances are your life has been impacted by the businessman’s accomplishments. The American industrialist—known for starting petroleum giant Standard Oil, founding cities like Miami and Palm Beach and creating the Florida East Coast Railway—was an immensely powerful figure of the Gilded Age. He also had a passion for both cigars and yachts. To honor this legacy, the Henry Flagler Museum in Palm Beach commissioned humidor maker Daniel Marshall to recreate Flagler’s Tiffany & Co. humidor, originally gifted to him by the New York Yacht Club.
Presented to Flagler more than a century ago, the humidor served as a token of appreciation from the Club after Flagler granted use of his yacht, Alicia, as the committee boat for the 1895 America’s Cup Race. The Americans went on to defend the Cup by defeating the British.
Like the original, the reproduction humidor is made of mahogany, with the top adorned with a sterling silver plaque engraved with Flagler’s initials as well as several sterling silver pins depicting yachting flags, including the New York Yacht Club’s signature flag.
Reproducing this humidor seemed a perfect fit for Daniel Marshall, as the craftsman has been making humidors for 40 years. Marshall cut his teeth in woodworking by building boats at a young age, leading to a passion for the sea and cigars that the humidor maker shares with Flagler.
To celebrate this project, the Henry Flagler Museum hosted a launch party earlier this month on a yacht at the Palm Beach Boat Show. More than 125 guests attended, including Henry Flagler’s great-great granddaughter and museum president, Kelly Hopkins Flagler.
“It is an honor for me to share in the celebration of such an important American in Henry Flagler and Florida history by recreating his personal Tiffany humidor,” said Marshall.
Only 10 of these limited-edition, reproduction humidors are available for purchase. The humidors measure 12 inches long by 7 inches wide and 6 inches tall. They are made in Daniel Marshall’s California studio and retail for $2,995 each.
