Where Reflection Finds Its Place

Cigars often punctuate life’s deliberate moments—quiet reflection, weighty conversation, memories worth holding. Each Era Opus ashtray is handcrafted to anchor these moments in beauty, grounding time in something worthy of it.
ABOUT US

Legacy Forged by an Empire

Struck in the shadows of coliseums, and triumphal arches, each piece of Roman coinage once moved through the hands of generals, senators, and merchants of empire. Now set in ancient redwood, these fragments of imperial currency anchor the present in a legacy of conquest, culture, and a fallen civilization at its zenith.

Over a Millennium in the Grain

These trees stood as Rome collapsed. In the 1800s, ancient old-growth redwoods were felled during California’s Gold Rush, their towering stumps left behind—untouched, perfectly preserved. We reclaim this forgotten wood with care, transforming what was once discarded into enduring works of beauty and meaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the wood used in your products sourced?

The redwood used in our products is sourced from fallen trees that were left behind from logging operations in the 1800s. These ancient trees have naturally aged over centuries, and we carefully reclaim this wood to ensure that no living trees are impacted. This approach allows us to honor the past while preserving the integrity of the ecosystem for future generations.

What makes the Roman coin in the ashtray so special?

The Roman coin embedded in each ashtray was struck in 139 A.D. during the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius. It is a small but powerful piece of history, honoring the strength and influence of the Roman Empire. Each coin tells a unique story, adding an extraordinary layer of history and luxury to every ashtray.

How should I care for my ashtray to maintain its quality?

To keep your ashtray in pristine condition, we recommend gently cleaning it with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the wood, we suggest applying a wood conditioner or oil periodically to maintain its natural luster and protect it from drying out.

Are your products handmade?

Each product is carefully crafted by skilled artisans. We pride ourselves on creating handmade pieces that combine traditional techniques with modern luxury, ensuring every item is of the highest quality and craftsmanship.
