From DM Archives - Artist Proof - "Passion for Oktoberfest Collection" Humidor by Daniel Marshall

LODENFREY Expands Assortment with Exclusive Daniel Marshall Humidors 

 With the start of this year’s Oktoberfest, the handcrafted humidors by Daniel Marshall are available at LODENFREY for the first time, bringing American flair to the Bavarian capital. 

 A special rarity is the ”Oktoberfest Humidor“, crafted exclusively for LODENFREY. This first of its kind piece features an oil painting that combines the California humidor designer’s signature craftsmanship with Munich tradition. 

 The inspiration for the ”Oktoberfest Humidor“ came from Hollywood star and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Marshall has been handcrafting humidors for his longtime friend for many years. German actor and former bodybuilding champion Ralf Moeller, who was crowned Mr. Universe in 1986 and is known for roles including ”Gladiator“, has also been part of Marshall’s and Governor Schwarzenegger‘s close circle of friends for 30 years: Moeller is a passionate smoker of Marshall’s cigars and owns several of his humidors. 

  Munich Lifestyle Meets American Craftsmanship 

 The oil painting on the ”Oktoberfest Humidor“ was painted directly onto the hand-carved humidor by renowned Colombian artist Juan Rosillo, who is based in Los Angeles, and depicts Munich’s Oktoberfest in all its liveliness. On closer inspection, the LODENFREY crest, featuring its traditional heraldic shield, can be seen in the background, honoring the Bavarian heritage of the house.
