Popular Post Akela3rd Posted August 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2020 Mel Ramos' Hav-a-Havana series of lithograph prints. I have copies but not any originals which go for $20k+. The one below (Hav-a-Havana #3, 1998) is probably the most discreet for a family forum... Sent from Cosmos Redshift 7 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HabanosLuva Posted August 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2020 I have always enjoyed collecting cigar-related items and art, especially Habanos. I was given this present many years back for my yet-to-be cigar room. I haven't framed all of these yet, but I have a decent amount of the Habanos brands. Here's RyJ example. Also, would eventually like to frame these. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it there too and I love it. I tried to get my own version in Havana a couple of years ago. This wasn't posed. It just happened to be how people were situated. The photo isn't even cropped. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ryan Posted August 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2020 For some of my favourite cigar art. The Habana Libre hotel produced a limited humidor in 2015 (ish) with an inset signed by Alicia Alonso. I love this. The same hotel did the same for Omara Portuondo a year later. And presented her with the first in the series. I don't think she smokes cigars very often. Again, love this. My favouite is a humidor made by Humidores Havana in 2015 with an image of smoke on the top. The picture of smoke was made using actual cigar smoke. Alex of Humidores Haavana wouldn't give me any more details regarding how they did it. Lastly, there's Milton Bernal, he goes by Milton "Pintor del Tabaco", Cuban artist who paints with oils and tobacco leaves treated to last on an image. He uses different shades of leaves to get different shades of brown. Here's one he did for Jim Robinson a couple of years ago. Jim's head may look a bit wonky in the picture, but that's just how his head is, you can see him in the previous post standing at the counter. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirds Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 5 hours ago, Ryan said: Lastly, there's Milton Bernal I had the pleasure of touring his Studio in January and bought some prints. He was a gracious host and offered us cigars, rum and coffee. Just messaged him on Facebook asking if he still had one that I loved but was short on cash due to my CAD. He still has it and is reserving it for when Havana opens back up. I agree completely, his work is amazing up close. ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mtd057 Posted August 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2020 This is by Tony Mendoza, a Cuban-American artist in Miami. Being from Miami, I love his work as it incorporates a lot of Miami themes. This one is called "Romeo y Julieta en Hialeah", I wish I had the original! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
