Siglo Accessory Launches a Cigar Ashtray Inspired by the Japanese Art of Kintsugi

Accessory maker Siglo Accessory has unveiled a new cigar ashtray inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese technique of repairing broken ceramics with lacquer mixed with powdered gold. The philosophy behind this art is that cracks are part of an object’s history and should be highlighted rather than hidden.

The ashtray was not actually broken and glued back together. It is made of bone china, and the “cracks” are hand-applied gold decals that recreate the shining veins typical of kintsugi pottery. The result is an object that combines the function of a cigar ashtray with a decorative, Asian-inspired element.

According to Cigar Aficionado, the price is 1,300 Hong Kong dollars, roughly 165 US dollars. The publication has not yet specified a release date or distribution channels.

S.T. Dupont and the Paris Opera Launch a ‘Phantom of the Opera’ Collection of Lighters and Pens

Brichetă Dupont Minijet 261071

French lighter and writing-instrument maker S.T. Dupont has unveiled a collection created in partnership with the Opéra National de Paris, inspired by Gaston Leroux’s novel “The Phantom of the Opera” and the atmosphere of the Palais Garnier.

The collection is organised into four tiers. The limited-edition Prestige line includes the Le Grand Dupont lighter, a black-lacquered treble-clef brooch and a gold-plated lyre-shaped keychain, with deep red lacquer and details inspired by the opera house’s architecture. The Premium lines use Ligne 1 and Ligne 2 lighters in red or green, with musical notes, roses and references to the famous Box No. 5, reserved for the Phantom. The entry-level range includes the Slimmy and Twiggy models.

The top piece, from the Haute Création line, is a lighter designed as a miniature theatre stage, with gold-plated bronze reliefs of Erik and Christine. Sets are limited to 88 numbered pieces for each version. Prices have not been announced.

The Phantom of the Opera collection is not part of the shop’s range, but at Mister Tabaco you can find S.T. Dupont lighters and other premium lighters.

Boveda Wins Cigar Trophy 2026 for Best Humidor and Readies a 100-Count Model

Boveda, the company known for its two-way humidity control packs, has received the Cigar Trophy 2026 in the “Best Humidor” category for its 50-count wooden humidor, launched last year. It is the firm’s first product of this kind, designed from the ground up around its own packs: the box ships with a seasoning kit and a 69% Boveda pack, the humidity level the maker recommends.

The model is sold direct to consumers in the United States and through Amazon in Europe, and is positioned as a quality box at an accessible price. The acrylic version shown initially has since been discontinued.

The most important news for collectors is the confirmation of a 100-count humidor: it is expected to arrive in the US at the end of 2026 and on the European market at the beginning of 2027. Company representative Benny Patock said Boveda wants to gather feedback directly from end users to shape its future products. Separately, the company is rebranding its cannabis line under the name Vivid, so that the Boveda name remains reserved exclusively for cigars.
