A MAJOR NAME IN CIGARS Davidoff is a point of reference in the world of cigars. In fact, Zino Davidoff introduced and inspired a passion for cigars in Europe, invented humidors and made his Geneva cigar shop the European hub for Cuban cigars. The prestigious Davidoff brand has also developed a full range of accessories essential to the cigar ritual. Each has been carefully designed by experts who master the established codes that govern the world of cigar aficionados. Many of these accessories are works of fine craftsmanship that are passed down through the generations as treasured heirlooms. These include humidors made of precious woods, precious stone lighters, limited edition cigar cases and more. www.davidoff.com

WINE WORLD EXPERTISE Ever since its creation over 250 years ago, Sotheby’s has ceaselessly refined auction sales to perfection. As with works of art, wine is sold by auction. In today’s sluggish economic environment, auction buyers are scrambling to purchase prestigious wines at sometimes dizzying prices. For the past fifteen years, a column has appeared in each issue of our magazine detailing the state of wine auctions. This column was launched by Serena Sutcliffe, Honorary Chairperson of Sotheby’s Wine, and later taken up by Adam Bilbey, Wine Department Manager for Asia. Reports on major collectors such as Bill Koch supplement this focus on fine wines and rare spirits. www.sothebyswine.com

A PHOTOGRAPHY LEGEND SINCE 1934 The legend of Studio Harcourt began on January 15, 1934 when it was launched by Cosette Harcourt. Since then, this mythical studio has stood as the pictorial memory of the 20th century’s great artistic, cultural and political figures. In 2007, Studio Harcourt was purchased by Francis Dagnan. Today it is run by Catherine Renard, under whose leadership it continues its quest for the exceptional. Mastery, excellence and know-how elevate portraiture to its most noble and timeless artistic essence, existing somewhere between mystery and legend. For an age, the “Harcourt Paris” label, with its assertive lettering, has been the “sacred seal” stamped on the portraits of celebrities and anonymous sitters alike. www.studio-harcourt.eu
