Spanish Cedar
The STARS Essentiel set answers the question every enthusiast or gift-giver asks: where to start?

Nothing to add, nothing to look for. Dimensions: 25.5 × 18.4 × 8.2 cm, 3 kg.
Contents of the STARS Essentiel set
Spanish cedar — active preservation included in the set
The humidor of the STARS Essentiel is not just a storage box — it is an active humidor made of Spanish cedar (Cedrela odorata). Its natural hygroscopic properties regulate humidity passively: it absorbs excess moisture when humidity rises and releases it when the air dries out. Its aromatic terpenes migrate gradually into the stored cigars and enrich their organoleptic complexity over the long term. Cedar also protects against the tobacco beetle.
The needle hygrometer and the humidifier are integrated into the inner lid of the case — accessible every time you open it without any additional handling. The STARS Essentiel is designed to be operational immediately, as soon as it is received.
Why choose the STARS Essentiel set
One set, five elements — the turnkey cigar ritual
The STARS Essentiel starts from a simple reality: most cigar gift sets deliver either an isolated accessory or a collection of unrelated items. The STARS solves this problem by combining everything that constitutes the complete ritual into one case — preservation, preparation, and tasting.
The Spanish cedar humidor with integrated hygrometer and humidifier ensures preservation. The 22 mm guillotine cigar cutter in its molded slot handles preparation. The silver ashtray in its dedicated slot ensures the tasting. The black lacquered case with burgundy trim coordinates them into an object you can set down, open, and use daily.

Molded slots — integrated organization: the right compartment of the STARS Essentiel holds the cigar cutter and the ashtray in dedicated molded slots. This organization is not trivial — it ensures that the accessories do not slide onto the cigars, that they do not crush them during transport, and that they are immediately accessible every time you open without searching through the case.
Mandatory seasoning on new cedar: the STARS Essentiel humidor is made of new Spanish cedar. Without a prior 24 to 48-hour seasoning, it would absorb moisture from your cigars upon the first load. This initial impregnation time is the condition for the cedar to become a natural regulator rather than a competitor for the humidifier.

22 mm cigar cutter — diameter limit: the included cigar cutter is compatible with all formats up to 55 ring gauge (approx. 21.8 mm diameter). Gordo 60 ring gauge (23.8 mm) and Double Robusto 60+ ring gauge cigars exceed the cutting capacity — forced cutting may damage the wrapper. For these formats, provide a larger diameter cigar cutter.
