Mixing It Up

The Flagler Museum, Northern Trust, and St. Augustine Distillery jointly hosted the Whitehall Society’s annual “Mixing It Up” cocktail party on board the Mansion Yacht during the recent Palm Beach International Boat Show. The event featured St. Augustine Distillery’s special Whitehall ReserveTM spirits and the unveiling of a very limited reproduction of Henry Flagler’s custom-made Tiffany & Co. cigar humidor, as guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

Henry Flagler’s humidor was a thank-you gift from the New York Yacht Club for the use of his yacht, Alicia, as the patrol boat, with Henry Flagler as captain, at the 1895 America’s Cup race. The cigar humidor is lined with sterling silver, and decorated with an engraved plate on the lid and enamel fittings. The wood is mahogany.

The Flagler Museum commissioned a reproduction humidor from Daniel Marshall, available in the H. M. Flagler and Co. Museum Store. Only ten Flagler Humidors were crafted by Daniel. The humidor comes with an autographed and slip-cased copy of Daniel Marshall’s book 38 Years. A numbered certificate from the Flagler Museum, supplies for keeping the humidor seasoned, two keys for the lock, and a copy of The Fish That Ate the Whale by Rich Cohen, which explains the fascinating legacy of the yacht Alicia.
