Elie Bleu has a new cigar stand, and like so many things in the cigar world, it’s inspired by Cuba.

The El Capitolio Cigar Stand is a folding cigar stand that is offered in two different colorways. When closed, it measures just 2.36 inches x 2.36 inches x .059 inches, meaning it can easily fit in a pocket.

As for the Cuban inspiration, it’s modeled after the National Capitol of Cuba—also known as El Capitolio—specifically, the top part of the building. The stand has cutouts that mimic the building’s columns, while the cigar is placed in an area that is designed to look like the dome.

Elie Bleu is offering it in gold- and silver-plated variants, both priced at $210. That price includes a blue leather case.

Rëyns International, Elie Bleu’s American distributor, says it will begin shipping the El Capitolio Cigar Stand next month.
