The White House humidor: a masterpiece of craftsmanship
The White House Humidor is a true work of art. Designed from the original blueprints of the White House, it reflects the rich history of this iconic building. With over 200 individually carved pieces, all crafted with the utmost precision and attention to detail, the humidor is not only an object of luxury, but also an iconic piece of history. The design, inspired by artist Juan Rosillo, combines classic architecture and modern craftsmanship to create a collector’s item that fits seamlessly into the most prestigious collections worldwide.
A historical review that re-emphasizes the importance of the White House Humidor as an ingenious collector’s item and investment piece
The White House has been a symbol of power, leadership and history in the United States for over 200 years. As the official residence of the President and the site of significant political events, the White House is a place that breathes history. Many presidents – from George Washington to Ronald Reagan – have shaped the future of America from this building. Preserving this historic legacy is not only a national obligation, but also a passion for many Americans, including the White House Historical Society, which was founded by Jackie Kennedy to preserve White House furniture, artwork and furnishings.
The White House humidor by Daniel Marshall combines this rich history with exceptional craftsmanship. Designed from the original White House blueprints and intricately detailed, this humidor is a masterpiece that reflects the architecture and symbolism of this historic building. With over 200 individually carved pieces, the humidor is not only a luxurious collector’s item, but also a tribute to the history of the presidency and the legacy of the White House.
By replicating the White House in the form of a humidor, it is clear how deep the connection between luxury objects, collectibles and American history can be. The White House Humidor goes beyond the function of an ordinary humidor – it symbolizes a piece of American history, preserved in an object that combines craftsmanship and historical value. The choice of this design shows that the White House Humidor is not only an exclusive piece for collectors, but also a reminder of the cultural and political heritage of the United States that has been passed down through generations
White House Historical Society
I have heard from well-informed sources that there was a conversation on September 13, 2024 between the President of the White House Historical Society and Daniel Marshall due to the great success of the auction of the White House Humidor with an American historical background. The White House is enthusiastic about the entire package that was auctioned off. The White House could imagine acquiring 2 of these coveted collector’s items – “White House Humidor”. One White House humidor could find its permanent home in Blair House, where Churchill lived for months and which is located opposite the White House lawn, where all the high dignitaries live. The second humidor is to be auctioned to raise funds for the restoration of the White House at a major White House cigar event to which Daniel Marshall himself will be invited. This underlines the historical and cultural value of this creation. The humidor is therefore not only an object of luxury, but could also become a symbol of the preservation and promotion of American history.
An investment with sustainable and stable returns
In addition to its cultural significance, the White House humidor is also a stable and high-yielding investment. The value of such exclusive, limited-edition collector’s items is constantly growing, as the demand for unique works of art that are both historically and artistically valuable continues to increase. In particular, the close connection to the White House and the planned auction of one of the humidors from the Wise House to use the proceeds for the restoration of the building illustrates how deeply this piece is embedded in America’s history. Such events help to further increase the value of the humidor.
Investors who invest in luxury properties with historical value benefit from long-term increases in value. The White House humidor combines the permanence of history with the sustainability of a growing investment. Its rarity – only 10 examples are produced – ensures that its value on the collectors‘ market is constantly increasing. The White House Historical Society’s interest in acquiring two of these humidors reinforces the importance of this piece as cultural heritage, which is of great interest not only to collectors but also to investors.

The entire White House Humidor auction package at a glance
In addition to the historic White House humidor, the auction includes packages – the Daniel Marshall XXXVIII Anniversary, with a cigar band of the faces of the 6 American presidents who have shaped America. The Daniel Marshall XXXVIII Anniversary cigar currently costs 450 Swiss francs each in Switzerland, excluding the special creation of the presidential band. Also included are 6 historical painted pictures of the presidents. Here I would like to give a brief historical review of the presidents mentioned:
George Washington (1789-1797)
Contribution: Washington was the first president of the United States and laid the foundation for the US government. He continued important precedents such as limiting the presidency to two terms.
What he stood for: Unity and leadership during the nation’s formative years to ensure the survival of the young democracy.
Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865)
Contribution: Lincoln led the US through the Civil War, preserved the Union and abolished slavery by introducing the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment.
What he stood for: freedom and equality. He held the US together and paved the way for a more inclusive democracy
Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909)
Contribution: Roosevelt is recognized for his work in conservation (creation of national parks) and his efforts to break up monopolies (trust-busting).
What he stood for: strength and reform, with a focus on a strong US presence in international affairs and domestic reforms to improve living standards.
John F. Kennedy (1961-1963)
Contribution: Kennedy successfully handled the Cuban Missile Crisis and launched the Apollo program, with the goal of putting the first man on the moon.
What he stood for: Progress and hope, especially in the areas of space travel and civil rights, and strengthened the US during the Cold War.
Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)
Contribution: Reagan is praised for his role in ending the Cold War and implementing his economic reforms, known as Reaganomics.
What he stood for: Economic reform and strength and anti-communism, establishing the US as a dominant force on the world stage.
George H. W. Bush (1989-1993)
Contribution: Bush is best known for his foreign policy during the Gulf War and the end of the Cold War. He played a key role in the collapse of the Soviet Union.
What he stood for: International leadership and diplomacy, maintaining US strength and global alliances.
These presidents all had significant influences on the history of the United States and shaped the nation politically, economically and culturally.
It should therefore never be forgotten that with every indulgent puff of the cigars supplied in the White House humidor, there is a hint of unity and leadership, freedom and equality, strength and reform, progress and hope, economic reform and strength, as well as international leadership and diplomacy, which gives these fine cigars a meaning and character all of their own.
