MIAMI - Tabacalera Perdomo, S.A., one of the worlds' most distinguished cigar manufacturers, today announced that shipment of its
EDICION de SILVIO® Museum Humidor retail display unit has begun to qualified tobacconists strategically located throughout the U.S.
The
EDICION de SILVIO® Museum Humidor, believed to be the only free-standing humidor/display case ever designed for a single cigar brand, was co-designed and built by J. C. Pendergast, Inc. of Racine, Wisconsin who have been involved in custom fixturing and architectural millwork since the mid-1950's and considered by many leading industry experts as the foremost authority on humidification and cigar storage. "The
EDICION de SILVIO® Museum Humidor represents the finest in craftsmanship and climate control," stated James Pendergast, owner of J.C. Pendergast, Inc. "There is no other unit like it in the industry today."
Of greater importance, the new display unit virtually guarantees that consumers will always receive
EDICION de SILVIO® cigars in optimum condition. Michael Argenti, executive vice president of Tabacalera Perdomo, attests "Cigar aficionados can rest assured that whether an
EDICION de SILVIO® cigar is purchased in San Diego, California or Augusta, Maine, the cigar's condition and seasoning will always remain perfect and consistent to the most discriminating palate."
The
EDICION de SILVIO® Museum Humidor (71 1/2" x 30" x 30") proudly reflects the striking packaging design of
EDICION de SILVIO® cigar brand and features an exterior crafted of mahogany with natural Spanish cedar lining the interior of the unit. The display unit is split into two functional sections: the top section, or 'exhibit', is sealed in glass and impervious to harmful atmospheric elements. The 'exhibit' section is used for the display of any
EDICION de SILVIO® 'Spanish Galleon' tobacco chest by being placed on a 'thatched wood' rotating shelf. The rotating shelf enhances the display's unique ability to showcase an open box of
EDICION de SILVIO® cigars by turning it at a rate of 2 revolutions per minute. The cigars are highlighted and protected by filtered lighting that emanates from the ceiling of the 'exhibit' section. The bottom section, or cigar pedestal, is used to house additional stock of
EDICION de SILVIO® and can accommodate up to three (3) additional tobacco chests and three (3)
EDICION de SILVIO® gift boxes. Therefore, tobacconists can easily and conveniently serve their customers from one single point in their store.
David Garofalo, owner of Two Guys' Smoke Shop, New England's most distinguished tobacconist, was exuberant in his praise for the
EDICION de SILVIO® Museum Humidor. "The display is positioned close to my cash register so everything required to properly show and explain the cigar to my clientele is extremely convenient. And it's such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship - people are drawn to the display as soon as they enter my shop. And because it's made by Pendergast, who is the very best, I can trust the unit to keep cigars in perfect condition outside of my shop's humidor."
The new display runs on 120 volts and also features a proprietary humidification system and multi-level venting that ensures an optimum relative humidity of 70 percent within the unit and the eradication of suspended minerals and chlorine from within the unit. The humidification unit is controlled by a humidistat which provides optimum humidity levels even when left unattended. A digital hygrometer is also included with the
EDICION de SILVIO® Museum Humidor. Entry to the display is protected by solenoid locks controlled from a password-protected digital keypad. Tabacalera Perdomo's Argenti expects between 50 and 75
EDICION de SILVIO® Museum Humidors to be shipped during the next 12 months to the nation's most prominent retailers.
