Humidor Emperador for Lacquered Bar Cabinet
Made to order as part of the Litolite Bar Cabinet system.
This humidor insert is crafted to commission and configured together with your Lacquered Bar Cabinet, so the design is finalised with you before production. To reserve yours or discuss the configuration, contact us at info@litolite.com. We will guide you through materials, timing and delivery personally.
Emperador marble ranges from dark brown to beige, threaded with golden and white veins, a material that adds warmth and refinement wherever it is used. Here it forms the humidor insert designed to pair with the Litolite Lacquered Bar Cabinet, though it stands beautifully on its own too.
Why the weight is an advantage
Forty kilos of stone is not a styling decision. Marble carries high thermal mass, which means the interior temperature moves slowly even when the room around it does not, whether that is the afternoon sun on a window or the heating coming on in the evening. For cigars that inertia is worth more than any specification on a data sheet, because slow change is what ageing tobacco needs.
The system inside
The humidity comes from Boveda packs, a two-way system: they release moisture when the interior dries out and reabsorb it when the level rises, so the humidor holds a flat line rather than a sawtooth. There is nothing to fill and nothing to calibrate, and the packs are replaced when they stiffen, usually every two to four months. An automatic ventilation system moves that air through the interior so the humidity is the same at the back as at the front, and internal LED lighting lifts the veining of the stone whenever the door is open.
Capacity and care
The 150+ figure is measured on a standard Robusto; larger gauges reduce it, slimmer vitolas increase it. The drawer fronts are solid oak rather than veneer, so they hold their shape against the humidity differential across the panel. Keep the humidor below roughly 21 °C and away from direct sun. Above about 24 °C tobacco beetle eggs can hatch inside a cigar. Marble is cleaned with a soft, barely damp cloth: never use limescale removers or acidic products, which etch polished stone permanently.
Designed to sit on the Litolite Bar Cabinet
This humidor is conceived as the top element of a complete bar system. The Lacquered Bar Cabinet below holds your bottles, glassware and accessories, while the humidor rests on top, uniting cigars and spirits in a single piece of furniture. Together they turn a corner of a room into a dedicated space for the ritual.
Bespoke and contract work, made in Italy
The same craftsmanship behind this humidor is available for commissioned projects. Litolite designs and manufactures bespoke furniture in Italy, combining traditional marble and woodworking with high-precision CNC machining and hand-applied luxury lacquering, in custom colours and gold, silver or metallic finishes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cigars does it hold?
Around 150+ cigars, measured on a standard Robusto. Larger ring gauges bring the count down, while slimmer vitolas bring it up.
Is it made to order?
Yes. Each insert is made to commission and configured with you before production, and ships in about 6 to 8 weeks. To reserve or configure yours, write to info@litolite.com.
Does it have to sit on the Bar Cabinet?
It is designed to pair with the Litolite Lacquered Bar Cabinet, but it stands beautifully on its own too.
Do I need to add water?
No. Humidity is handled by two-way Boveda packs, so there is no water to fill. You replace the packs when they stiffen, typically every two to four months.
Will it look exactly like the photos?
No. Natural marble varies from piece to piece, so your humidor will differ from the images and from every other one we make.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Each humidor is handcrafted in Italy using traditional joinery, marble sculpting, and wood finishing techniques. No two pieces are exactly alike.
