Nanbu Ironware: Traditional Craftsmanship Behind NOBDESIGN's Designs

At the core of Nob Designs' exceptional products is Nanbu ironware , a traditional Japanese cast ironware that dates back to the 17th century. Known for its durability, heat resistance and elegant texture, Nanbu ironware has historically been used for teapots and cooking utensils. In 1908, Crown Prince Yoshihito (later Emperor Taisho) visited an ironworks, an event widely reported and celebrated in Japan, causing Nanbu ironware's popularity to soar.

Nob Designs has embraced this timeless craft, incorporating Southern Iron into its modern cigar accessories to create products that are both functional and beautiful. For example, the OH!VAL ashtray is made from Southern Iron, ensuring it can withstand high temperatures while maintaining an elegant appearance. The ashtray's modular three-piece design, combined with magnetic components and adjustable stirrups, provides cigar lovers with unparalleled convenience and customization options.

The use of Nanbu ironware in Nob Designs' products pays homage to Japan's rich cultural heritage. This traditional material not only provides exceptional durability, but also adds historical significance to each piece. By combining Nanbu ironware with modern design, Nob Designs creates accessories that are both practical and deeply rooted in Japanese tradition.

Nob Designs' commitment to preserving and innovating traditional craftsmanship is evident in every product. Whether it's the OH!VAL ashtray or the OH!VAL cigar cutter "Katana", each product is a celebration of Japanese artistry and modern functionality. For cigar lovers who appreciate craftsmanship details, Nob Designs offers a unique blend of cultural heritage and modern design, making it a brand that truly stands out in the world of high-end cigar accessories.
