ELKONGO
Through this new project, Kongo plunged himself into the complex and prestigious tropical universe of cigar, filled with flavors and sensoriality. These new short-lived artworks give us the opportunity to savour original aroma and appreciate present moment.
Each of the cigar humidors is hand painted by the artist and filled with delicate “El Kongo”. These cigars are reflecting Kongo’s personality: bold, “wild” and imprinted of freedom. It’s important for Kongo to put forward his multiple cultures and this one is a tribute to the Caribbean, the land that has welcomed and inspired him throughout his life. He’s willing to share with us the richness of Central America its “savoir-faire” and “savoir-vivre”. Each cigar is signed by the artist ... to taste it is not only a pleasure for the senses but also an experience that is similar to the contemplation of a work of art.
