Press Release: Davidoff Cigars Unveils Its “Short Pleasures” Assortment

February 17, 2014 (Basel, Switzerland) — Davidoff’s “Short Pleasures” Assortment responds to the rising need of aficionados to be able to enjoy a short, relaxing break in their hectic everyday lives. The assortment offers a great selection of Davidoff’s rich blends in shorter formats, to be enjoyed in 30 to 45 minutes. Thanks to the different cigar formats and blends, modern cigar lovers can discover and enjoy, depending on their mood and the time of day, the milder “Entreacto” and “Grand Cru” No. 5, the richer and more intense “Millennium Blend” Short Robusto or Davidoff “Puro d’Oro” Gorditos. The cigar strength indicator inside the assortment pack helps you choose the right cigar for a specific occasion. All four cigars are shown on the back of the pack on a scale of 1:2.

The assortment allows aficionados to discover the recently introduced and very popular “Puro d’Oro” Gorditos, which respond to the trend toward shorter cigars with larger ring gauges (3¾″ x 58) and combines robust flavors and richness to provide an intense experience in a relatively short period of time.

Davidoff’s “Short Pleasures” Assortment encourages one not only to find time to chill out and relax with a premium cigar but also proves that enjoying a Davidoff cigar, whatever time the aficionado may have, is Time Beautifully Filled.

The Davidoff “Short Pleasures” Assortment is also an ideal gift and available from selected tobacconists worldwide since beginning of February 2014.

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.
