If there was one madness that Rolls-Royce had not considered since the modern era, it is that of joining the world of cigars. The prestigious luxury car brand has just released its second high-end humidor. Explanations.

A luxury humidor

From the top of its 55,000 dollars (about 48,000 euros), the Rolls Royce humidor must be up to the task. And for good reason, its price is that of a mid-range vehicle in France! However, his role will not be to lead you where you want, but only to keep your cigars during your travels. However, you can imagine that at this price, its prowess must go a little beyond a simple classic humidor.

The Rolls Royce Cellarette consists of an aluminum structure both for the aesthetic aspect and for the protective and insulating side. It opens on all sides and lifts to reveal the first surprise, namely stone glasses, hand blown. There is a box on either side of the structure. The first, lined in leather, is supposed to accommodate a bottle (of whiskey) and the other is none other than the famous humidor lined with Spanish cedar and equipped with an analog hygrometer, thus being able to accommodate 4 cigars.

Rolls Royce and its thoughtful travel humidor

Everything has been carefully thought out so that each part of the humidor is efficient. The open-pore obsidian veneer top tray can double as a stand for your glasses, ashtray or even serve as a small side table during a picnic or alfresco dining.

Two ST Dupont accessories also complete the Cellarette: a flexible Rolls Royce ST Dupont Ligne 2 lighter, as well as a cigar cutter. They are housed in a circular magnetic storage attached to the humidor. The magnetic ashtray is also part of the game. However, if you can’t afford this humidor we have a nice cigar humidor category.

Rolls Royce indicates that this travel accessory can be personalized according to the wishes of the buyer. You will find this little gem at any dealership of the brand.

If CBD is none other than cannabis without THC, what is hemp which also comes from the same family and has no recreational effect? Can we say that CBD and hemp are the same? To be honest, not quite. Here are the differences between these two plants.

Hemp, what is it?

Hemp is the first plant to have been domesticated by humans. Today, it is still cultivated, especially for making clothes, cosmetics and oils. It grows rapidly and the cultivation of hemp is simply licensed. However, it is completely legal.

The plant itself is completely identical to classic cannabis, which is prohibited. However, hemp does not have any psychotic substances (its THC level is less than 0.3%). It is for this reason that its cultivation is legal.

What is CBD?

In reality, CBD is not a plant. It is simply a molecule contained in cannabis, just like THC. Nonetheless, CBD has no recreational effect. On the other hand, it is recognized for its soothing and relaxing effects.

CBD is extracted in the form of a flower and oils that can sometimes be used in treatments, balms, candies and other related products. Unlike hemp oil which does not contain CBD, CBD oil contains terpenes and flavonoids.

But then what are the differences between the two?

These two substances come from the same plant and can be made almost the same. But hemp comes from the seeds, while CBD comes from the plant itself. The latter is much more expensive than hemp oil. On the other hand, the expected effects are different. CBD also contains cannabinoids that hemp lacks.

The effects of hemp are excellent for your health, but it has little influence on the relaxing and calming side that CBD can offer. In contrast, hemp contains arginine, which is great for helping lower blood pressure.

All great pipe enthusiasts inevitably know the Italian brand Savinelli. With its ancestral know-how and its finely crafted models, it has established itself as one of the best brands in the world.

A story that lasts

In 1876, the first Savinelli store moved to Milan, Italy, and sold items dedicated to smokers. Faced with the success it meets, the house decides to produce pipes bearing the image of the brand. From the post-war period, the know-how of the Italian master pipe makers crossed borders to be recognized internationally.

It must be said that the materials used are of high quality and the handwork of the pipe makers is also very meticulous. For all these years, the Savinelli house has never ceased to use ancestral methods to make its pipes, which today makes it a very popular brand among connoisseurs and collectors.

A wide variety of products

Besides the craftsmanship, it is worth noting that Savinelli has created over 90 different pipe shapes. Thus, each smoker can find his favorite fire pit on both aesthetic and practical criteria. Canadian, Brandy Liverpool or Lovat, Egg, etc., each of the pipes made by Savinelli has a name, but each shape is also identified by a number. These do not go from 1 to 100, but from 101 to 920. Some are even followed by the letters KS, an acronym meaning “King Size” for large model.

Let’s talk about models. There are also a very large number of them. Caramella, Punto Oro, Miel, etc., are among the so-called basic references. There are others made by hand: Creativity, Artisans or Autograph. And every year since 1986, the pipe of the year called Collection has been released.

The models of pipes are available in several finishes and always in 6 or 9 mm. You will understand, the idea is of course to adapt to the desires and choices of all pipe smokers. And you ? What is your favorite Savinelli pipe?

E-Liquide-FR is a family business that continues to grow. Its core business is none other than the electronic cigarette. Created in 2009, it has become a pioneer in the market. Let’s lift the veil on this success story.

A family matter

In 2009, Denis Goldrajch decided to launch his electronic cigarette business. In this adventure, he embarks Christel Mary, his wife. The bet was not yet won, since at that time, the vaping market was still unknown in France.

Denis and Chrystel had to create everything from product safety to e-liquid distribution, sales methods and techniques, etc. Indeed, nothing was yet truly standardized in this very young market. Reliable and reassuring, E-Liquide-FR has won over customers, so much so that the company has started to grow more and more. Then, some time later, the founder’s son, Julien Goldrajch, was added to the management duo.

European e-liquids made in France guaranteed

In the early 2010s, most e-liquids were made in China. The couple were the very first to offer European e-liquids to their customers. More standardized, more secure too, they quickly attracted vaping enthusiasts and the most curious.

But Denis wanted to go further by focusing on made in France. This is how they broke their contracts with European companies to focus on French know-how. A winning bet that has not only made it possible to develop the offer in the region, but also to make the company the leader in the sale of vaping products in France.

Technology above all

E-Liquide-FR owes its success to very advanced working methods supported by new technologies. Their error rate close to zero is mainly due to the use of connected objects in all stages of order preparation.

On the other hand, the company seeks excellence and diversity by choosing products that are always innovative and certified by AFNOR.
