Elie Bleu’s collaboration with Fuente Opus X has produced a collection that reflects artistry, tradition, and refinement. The Hemingway Blue and Gold series pays homage to one of the most celebrated names in cigar history, offering pieces that are as functional as they are collectible. Each item carries the distinct elegance and meticulous craftsmanship for which both brands are renowned.
An Heirloom for the Smoking Table
Crafted in France from Limoges porcelain, the Hemingway Blue Porcelain Ashtray embodies the sophistication of both Elie Bleu and the Fuente family. Its vivid blue color, adorned with delicate gold detailing and trim, creates a striking visual effect that immediately draws attention in any smoking lounge. At its center, the intricate Opus X motif stands as a tribute to Fuente’s artistry, surrounded by graceful “Hemingway” script and the signature of Carlos Fuente. This is more than an accessory; it is a piece of art meant to be admired as much as it is used.
Exclusivity defines this ashtray, with only 154 individually numbered pieces available worldwide. Its generous size, measuring 9 inches by 9 inches, is complemented by two removable yellow gold-plated cigar bridges that can be adjusted to accommodate different ring gauges. These bridges, engraved with “Elie Bleu Paris,” keep a cigar suspended perfectly while resting, ensuring both practicality and elegance. Every detail, from its clean white porcelain base to its polished presentation in the original Elie Bleu box, reinforces its collectible appeal and makes it an ideal piece for display.

Fire in Blue and Gold
The Hemingway Blue and Gold Lighter is the result of an extraordinary collaboration between Elie Bleu and the Arturo Fuente family.

This lighter is not just a tool; it is an objet d’art meant for those who appreciate refined craftsmanship.
Beyond its visual beauty, the lighter is built for performance. Its extra-wide flat flame provides an even toast for the perfect light, while a visible fuel gauge adds practicality for regular use. The intuitive flame adjuster and refillable design make it a reliable companion for any aficionado. Limited to only 254 individually numbered pieces worldwide, this lighter is delivered brand new with all original paperwork, a two-year warranty, and presented in Elie Bleu’s signature box, underscoring its collectible status.

A Cut Above the Rest
The Hemingway Blue and Gold Cigar Cutter is a masterpiece of precision engineering and decorative artistry.

The vivid blue lacquer, intricate scrollwork, and striking Fuente “X” motif combine to make this cutter a visual statement piece that perfectly complements the rest of the collection.
Performance meets beauty in every detail of its design. Built with a solid heavyweight body, the cutter features a spring-loaded push-button mechanism that releases a razor-sharp stainless steel blade. The blade delivers a swift and clean cut, ensuring the ideal draw for a fine cigar. Despite its robust construction, it maintains a slim pocket-friendly profile, making it suitable for both travel and display. Like the lighter and ashtray, it embodies the dedication to excellence for which both Elie Bleu and Fuente are celebrated.
