Next Wednesday, Davidoff of Geneva USA will begin shipping Art Edition 2016, the latest in Davidoff’s cigars made in collaboration with artists.

This year’s cigar is made in collaboration with Jamaican-born artist Olivia McGilchrist. Each box of Art Edition 2016 features an image from McGilchrist’s “from many sides” video, a digital project focused on the Caribbean and its people and history.
