Elie Bleu Casa Cubana "Palacio Cienfuegos" C-4 Cigar Cutter — Red Lacquer

The Palacio de Valle in Cienfuegos is a building of two temperatures: the cool blue-green of its Andalusian tilework and the warmer reds and terracottas of its painted surfaces and structural detail. Elie Bleu renders both in the pocket accessories of the Palacio Cienfuegos collection — the teal for one register, the red for the other — and the C-4 cutter in red lacquer is the warm-palette companion to the red J-15: the pair that travels together in the pocket of the smoker who prefers the terracotta end of the building's color story. The mechanism is the same in both colorways. The choice between them is aesthetic.

C-4 / Double Blade / Red

The C-4 double blade guillotine cutter cuts symmetrically from both sides of the cigar's cap simultaneously — the spring-loaded mechanism bringing one blade from below and one from above, meeting cleanly rather than pushing through. The result is a cut that preserves the tobacco leaf's integrity across the full diameter, producing the open, undistorted draw that a correctly cut cigar provides. Two Japanese surgical-grade stainless steel blades, a 22mm opening that accommodates up to 62 ring gauge, dimensions of 65 × 44.5 × 7.9 mm that keep it pocket-sized and effective. The UV ultra-durable red lacquer maintains its finish against the daily conditions of carry without the color fading or chipping under normal use.

The Complete Pocket Set

The Palacio Cienfuegos pocket accessories — J-15 and C-4 in teal and red — offer four objects that connect the collection's architectural palette to the smoker's daily carry. The red C-4 with the red J-15 is a matched set: the cutter that prepares the cigar and the lighter that starts it, both in the same finish, both from the same building's color story, both limited to 488 pieces. The complete Palacio Cienfuegos environment — humidor, table lighter, Egoist ashtray, and both pocket formats — places the Palacio de Valle's Arab-Andalusian romance at every point in the ritual from storage to close.
