Davidoff Aniversario No. 1 Returning to Store Shelves in October
As part of its holiday gifting season releases, Davidoff is bringing back the Aniversario No. 1 for a limited edition release.
The cigar, officially known as the Aniversario No. 1 Limited Edition Collection, uses an Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut-seed wrapper, a binder from Ecuador, and Dominican piloto viso, San Vicente viso and San Vicente Mejorado viso in the filler. Davidoff lists the cigar as being a three out of five on its intensity scale, with herbal aromas complementing flavors of cedar and cream, along with citrus, fresh spice and roasted nuts.
It is offered in an 8 2/3 x 48 double corona vitola, which the company says offers a smoking time between two hours and two hours and 20 minutes. Pricing is set at $64 per cigar, and $640 for a box of 10 cigars, one of which is presented in a wooden tube that depicts and honors the vintage Aniversario design with a wreath. Production is limited to 6,500 boxes for the U.S. market.
The Davidoff Aniversario line debuted in 1986 to celebrate Zino Davidoff’s 80th birthday, though the No. 1 was discontinued in 2016 along with the No. 2, a 7 x 48 Churchill vitola.
The Davidoff Aniversario No. 1 Limited Edition Collection is scheduled to be in stores Oct. 12.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
