This is a high-quality, handcrafted Italian cigar case (specifically a "telescopic" or "two-finger" case) made by Bartoli. Material & Craftsmanship The certificate of warranty confirms the most significant detail: this is made from Radica di Erica Arborea, commonly known as Briar root. •⁠ ⁠The Wood: Briar is the same heat-resistant, dense burl wood used to make high-end tobacco pipes. The "bird’s eye" and "flame" grain patterns visible in your photos are characteristic of premium briar. •⁠ ⁠Construction: It is a telescopic design, meaning the top slides over the bottom. This allows the case to adjust to different lengths of cigars while creating a relatively airtight seal to maintain humidity for short periods. •⁠ ⁠Origin: Bartoli is a respected Italian brand known for luxury smoking accessories. Their "Made in Italy" stamp and hand-finished certificate (marked "Art. 1") suggest this is part of their premium artisan line. Condition Assessment •⁠ ⁠The item is in excellent, mint condition. •⁠ ⁠Finish: The high-gloss lacquer is intact with no visible cracking or "crazing," which can sometimes happen with older wood items. •⁠ ⁠Interior: The inner wood is clean •⁠ ⁠Completeness: Having the original suede dust bag and the paperwork/tags significantly increases its value to a collector.
