Davidoff Unveils Exclusive Corona FSG 20th Anniversary

Since October 2014, Davidoff has been helping celebrate milestone anniversaries of its appointed merchants by producing limited edition cigars. In the case of Corona Cigar Co. in Orlando, Fla., Davidoff isn’t just making a cigar for the store’s 20th anniversary, it’s using some of owner Jeff Borysiewicz’s tobacco in the blend.

The Davidoff Exclusive Corona FSG 20th Anniversary is a 6 x 52 belicoso that uses a uniquely tailored blend of Florida Sun Grown and Dominican tobacco in the filler, bound with Mexican San Andrés Negro and wrapped in an Ecuador Connecticut Rojiza leaf. Davidoff noted that the Florida Sun Grown tobacco was reviewed and quality controlled under the same standards that every Davidoff product is held to, with the tobacco adding a spicy flavor and complexity. The cigar itself delivers a rich, full bodied profile with exceptional palate stimulation, according to a press release.

“We are very proud to be working with Davidoff and there is no way better to celebrate our 20 year milestone of becoming a leader in premium cigar retailing,” said Jeff Borysiewicz, president and founder of Corona Cigar Company, via a press release. “Our unique and exclusive Florida tobacco farm has truly allowed our company to come full circle as a premium cigar retailer as well as the world’s only grower of prized Florida cigar tobacco. We are excited to be able to share with fellow aficionados this unique Davidoff cigar that is blended with our 2014 crop of heirloom Florida Sumatra seed tobacco that was grown on our farm in Clermont, Florida.”

“The Borysiewicz family has been trusted colleagues of Davidoff for over 20 years,” noted Richard Krutick, vice president of marketing for Davidoff of Geneva USA, adding that “as one of our largest partners, the collaboration to create a 20th Anniversary Exclusive Edition incorporating FSG was a natural decision. Davidoff and Jeff Borysiewicz share many of the same philosophies and principles regarding cigar retailing and tobacco cultivation. It’s important for Davidoff to support Jeff and his family in their efforts to grow and protect the premium cigar industry in the US.”

The Davidoff Exclusive Corona FSG 20th Anniversary sells for $27 per cigar and $224.95 for a box of 10. It is now available in limited quantities at Corona Cigar Co’s three locations in the Orlando, Fla. area, and is also available via the store’s website and at the Davidoff of Geneva Since 1911 store and bar in Tampa, Fla., which Borysiewicz operates. He told halfwheel that while the line is limited in its production, he intends to have it be an ongoing release made in limited batches.
