New In

The Chefs Edition 2025 blend incorporates select tobaccos from Davidoff's iconic White Band Collection, mirroring the chef's signature lightness and finesse. To introduce fresh notes while enhancing complexity, Davidoff's Master Blenders meticulously experimented with a variety of tobaccos and ageing techniques.

Amongst other tobaccos, additional highlights of the blend include a Dominican San Vicente that was patiently aged for 15 years for exceptional depth, a Dominican hybrid tobacco for fresh lemon notes and a Dominican Piloto that was aged in Yagua bales for five years – a technique that has never been applied to tobacco in a Davidoff cigar before. The meticulous, labour-intensive traditional method involves carefully wrapping the tobacco in natural Yagua palm leaves, whose fibrous texture allows for a more refined ageing environment. This enhances the cigar’s smoothness, sweetness and complexity

The cigar opens with notes of cayenne pepper, followed by sweet whipped cream. The Yagua-aged tobacco brings complex floral aromas to the blend. As the journey continues, an impressive bouquet of flavours emerges. Cayenne pepper is still present in the retrohale, while notes of perfumy rosewood, leather and a subtle hint of lemon entertain the palate. Towards the end of the cigar, the intensity increases slightly, unveiling a crescendo of fresh spice, coffee and oak wood. Perfumed flavours from the second third give way to more robust notes. A true masterpiece that fills time beautifully for 60 to 80 minutes.

The Chefs Edition 2025 is elegantly presented in a substantial, kitchen-inspired box made from solid wood, paying homage to the culinary artistry behind its creation.

Davidoff's latest addition to their collection features a cigar inspired by the 12 symbols on the Chinese Zodiac calendar for the 14th consecutive year. It marks the beginning of the second cycle of the calendar, making it a significant release. The cigars boast a blend of an Ecuadorian wrapper, binder, and fillers sourced from the Dominican Republic and Mexico's renowned San Andrés Valley. This is also the first time the brand incorporates a Dominican hybrid seed 98 from the prestigious Martín García region, situated west of Mao and south of Monte Cristi. Moreover, it is only the second time that Mexican tobacco has been used in a Davidoff blend.

The latest in Davidoff's Zodiac series, this beautiful Lancero size celebrates the Year of the Snake. 

The taste profile of the blend is quite unusual and a novelty for a Davidoff cigar: With flavours of lemon, leather and coffee, the limited edition cigar makes for a perfect introduction to the new cycle. Especially the Dominican San Vicente and the Mexican Negro San Andres filler tobaccos, which are both known to stimulate the areas on the palate responsible for sour and salty sensations, drive the fresh and lemony notes without ever overpowering the palate. 

The Year of the Snake Limited Edition 2025 comes in a wooden box of ten, which, like the Snake, is elegant, graceful and serene on the outside, but leaves the excitement inside for those who want to explore. A removable wooden frame adds to the excitement of unboxing and the novelties inside: Aficionados will receive their removable, numbered collector’s coin and can admire the second band of the cigar in red with a yellow accent.

In 2014, Davidoff successfully conquered the ultra-premium segment of handmade cigars with the launch of the Davidoff Oro Blanco Special Reserve 2002. An exceptional cigar with a blend comprised of the rarest tobaccos grown in the richest of soils and patiently aged for over 12 years before being made into what was then Davidoff’s rarest cigar. The incredible success and demand for this luxurious offering has led to predictions that the product will be sold out by the end of 2024. Davidoff is therefore proud to introduce an exclusive successor that will continue to reinforce the brand’s ultra-premium image: The Davidoff Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years.

THE CIGAR

The toro features a Dominican puro blend of vintage tobaccos from five different terroirs in the Dominican Republic. One of the areas in one of these terroirs is no longer cultivated by Davidoff, meaning that the cigar contains tobacco that aficionados will not otherwise be able to taste. While each of the tobaccos has a considerable individual age, the combined age of all 7 tobaccos is an impressive 111 years. This makes the Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years the cigar with the most aged tobacco on the market. A definite must-have for aficionados who want to treat themselves to the finest and rarest of cigars. The new Oro Blanco is crafted by Master Roller supervisors with at least 20 years’ experience, and is only released once the Master Blenders have deemed it ready to be enjoyed.

These extraordinary efforts have resulted in an extremely refined cigar with a very sweet taste profile and a full body.

Available as single cigar or in a box of ten.

The Ultimate Jewel Collection from Joya De Nicaragua was inspired by an exchange between a visitor to the Joya factory in Esteli, Nicaragua and Master bochero Aristo Torres. When asked ‘what exactly do you do?’ his brilliant response was ‘I am a jeweller. But not just any jeweller. Each of my hand-rolled creations is a man’s best friend. It’s not just a cigar; it’s an experience, each puff a story unfolding’

This seemingly trivial exchange sparked the inspiration behind the Ultimate Jewel Collection. A remarkable sampler of Joya De Nicaragua’s top creations providing a journey into the craftmanship of its blenders and master makers through time. An insight into the work of Aristo, who humbly and confidently, has been perfecting his craft at the factory for the past 30 years and counting.

The Ultimate Jewel Collection features fourteen exceptional cigars, each from one of JDN’s family of brands in its line’s best-selling vitola. The selection also spans launches from 1968 all the way to 2023, from when Joya initiated the Nicaraguan cigar industry, to the commemorative 55th Anniversary blend. The cigars will provide a deep insight into the wide range of flavour profiles, complexities and strengths mastered throughout the years.

Joya de Nicaragua literally translates to the ‘Jewel of Nicaragua’ An unequivocal link to luxury, but one that by belief is unpretentious. Instead of delighting boasters, this jewel stands for craftsmanship, heritage and quality, with the sole purpose of crafting great cigars for those in the know. Every puff is a story, a legacy passed through smoke and fire. Imagine unwrapping this box, each cigar a hidden gem revealing itself. The tobacco leaves? Chosen with the precision of a jeweller, aged to perfection, hand-rolled into what Joya like to call a smokeable masterpiece.

Collection includes:

In 1946, Zino Davidoff designed a line of cigars which would be crafted like classic Bordeaux wines. The blend would be selected depending on the soil and the climate in which the tobacco grew, just like the French ‘terroirs’. And just as Bordeaux wines blend three different main grapes, these cigars would feature three different fillers.

 Voilá, Davidoff Grand Cru cigars were born. Now, like the rich, ripe grapes of Bordeaux, the fruits of another piece of innovation have been harvested and turned into a truly remarkable cigar, one even more deserving of the title Grand Cru.

For the Diademas Finas Limited Edition Collection incorporates tobacco aged in Premier Grand Cru red wine casks from Bordeaux. In the spirit of Zino’s pioneering blends, this is the first time where a winecask aged tobacco has been used.

A San Vicente seco tobacco is matured for six months in the casks. As a result, the flavour carries the same notes which characterise the chateaux wines – dark cherries, walnuts and citrus. The combination rolls around in the mouth like wine being swirled in a glass. To add extra distinctiveness to this Limited Edition, it comes in the striking figurado format. The shape guides the palate towards the richness of the blend. Perfect to accompany a vintage bottle from France’s most celebrated wine region. For this is truly vintage Davidoff.

Santé.

The Trinidad Cabildos are presented in two rows of six cigars and, as with the Premier Pack, each cigar will have a foot-band that contains an NFC authentication chip. Known as an Ilustres in the factories of Cuba, this unique size measures 6⅜″ (162mm) x 46 ring gauge and has been made using the classic, approachable medium bodied Trinidad blend.

All of the cigars have been made entirely by hand using long filler tobacco leaf sourced from the Vuelta Abajo zone of Cuba. As with Limited Editions produced from 2007, all the leaves used have been aged for a minimum of two years before being rolled and the cigars are dressed in dark, maduro, wrappers.

The Diplomaticos Leal is the latest Regional Edition Cigar to be manufactured exclusively for the Cuban market, and is the seventh regional edition for the Cuban Market

Originally intended as a 2021 release, the Diplomaticos Leal finally made its debut in early 2024 at the Habanos Cigar Festival. 

Each 10-count dress box echoes the esteemed Diplomaticos Excelencia, Cuba’s 2015 Regional Edition. Despite a pandemic-induced delay, the Leal honors the late Cuban historian Eusebio Leal Spengler.

Celebrating 20 years of partnership with La Union cigars by José “Pepin” Garcia My father Cigars and Pete Johnson, Tatuaje Cigars

José “Pepin” Garcia and Pete Johnson, of My Father Cigars and Tatuaje respectively, are marking their two-decade partnership with La Union, a set of exclusive and pricey cigars. Their collaboration began in 2003 when Garcia, originally from Cuba, established his first cigar factory in Miami's Little Havana, where he met Johnson. La Union offers four unique blends, two from each maker, in a single size called Prominente Especial. These cigars, featuring a belicoso head, come in red or black box sets. Johnson's blends use Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 or Ecuador Sumatra wrappers, while Garcia's use Ecuador Habano or Connecticut broadleaf. All cigars have Nicaraguan binder and filler, sourced from the Garcias' own farms, including Pelo d’Oro leaf. Johnson's cigars have a closed foot, while Garcia's have an open foot.

The much-anticipated Bolivar Regentes is the 2021 Habanos Limited Edition and measures 5 1/8” (130mm) x 52 ring gauge. The vitola is known as a Discretos in the world-famous cigar factories of Cuba and are presented in special production SLB boxes containing 25 cigars.

The Bolivar Regentes shares its dimensions with the Partagás Maduros No.1 and delivers voluminous rounded smoke to the palate which is balanced with intense layered flavours and rich aromas. A signature for this powerful Habanos brand.

All the tobacco for the Bolivar Regentes has been aged for a minimum of two years which from 2007 was a standard introduced to all leaves destined to become an Edición Limitada Habano.

Although this is perhaps not a cigar for the novice, the characteristics make it one of the most sought-after marques among more experienced cigar smokers and for collectors looking to round the robust, rich aromas even further by laying them down to age.

Meir was influenced by his forefathers: tobaccos merchants travelling across the oceans to trade the sacred leaf. He grew up with a dream that soon turned into a vision; a Meerapfel cigar, manufactured by his very own craftswomen and men, rolled with leaves from his farms. Vision turned into history when Meir officially incorporated the Meerapfel companies in 1876 in the village of Untergrombach, Germany. The Genesis.

Genesis, the inception of everything, symbolizes the foundation of a family legacy that is unique in the premium tobacco and cigar history. Meir Meerapfel set the ground for heritage, firmly resting on traditional values, principles and ministrations for the people, the community and the greater good.

The Meir Meerapfel Master Blend is the quintessential expression of a genesis spirit that proudy rests upon the most traditional values of perfection, a covenant of utmost respect, finesse and pure elegance - the genesis of uber luxury.

The “Meir” Master Blend honors Meir MEERAPFEL and is presented in ornamented caskets showcasing 10 Double Robusto cigars (5 3⁄4 x 52) with flagtail

Size: Double Robusto
Length: 5 3/4 inches

#6 Cigar Journal Cigar of the Year 2023

The Year of the Dragon Limited Edition completes Davidoff’s cycle of twelve consecutive celebrations around a Chinese zodiac. The brand honors the important year with several limited-edition products inspired by the Dragon and its fascinating personality. 

The powerful Dragon requires an equal format, making this zodiac’s cigar the biggest creation out of all “Year of” executions to date. The double corona carries an eye-catching foot ring which covers the uncut part of the cigar. This enables aficionados to enjoy the first inch/2.5 cm of the masterpiece without the wrapper leaf, which creates an intriguing play of flavors and visualizes the Dragon spitting fire.

The blend consists of 8 tobaccos, combined for a total of 60 years aging. In 2024, this number will match the age of a person born in 1964, which is also a Year of the Dragon. This year’s edition comes in a handsome box of ten cigars. The top surface of the box shows a captivating iridescent varnished dragon skin pattern all over. The powerful Year of the Dragon icon in the center holds a pearl, which in Chinese culture symbolizes wisdom, prosperity and fortune.

A wooden tray inside the box reveals two cigar sections that are divided by a silky red ribbon inspired by the Dragon’s tongue.

TASTING NOTES:

1/3 – The uncut foot of the cigar offers an inch of enjoyment without the wrapper leaf, during which earthy, wooden and herbal notes are present. Once the wrapper takes over, the taste changes to rich notes of roasted nuts, cream and subtle liquorice.

2/3 – The intensity rises in the second third, when notes of sweet honey, white pepper and citrus dominate. The double corona format and 8 different types of tobaccos of a combined age of 60 years create and elegant and sophisticated taste journey.

3/3 – In the cigars final third, fresh spice and oak wood complement the dominating notes of dark chocolate. The intensity remains the same as before, making the last part of this masterpiece especially smooth and well-balanced.
