Davidoff

After releasing a cigar for each of the 12 symbols on the Chinese Zodiac calendar, Davidoff is starting the calendar over again with a new Year of the Snake. For this release, there are three different cigars.

Davidoff says it was inspired by the dark blue hues oftentimes used for business suits. Inside, there’s a brown leather luggage tag that can be customized.

In 2014, Davidoff introduced the Oro Blanco, a $500 halo cigar that was made with tobacco aged for more than a decade and rolled by its best rollers. Later this month, the new version of Oro Blanco will ship. Price: $750 per cigar.

This is the fourth and final release of Davidoff’s History Re-Rolled Series, a line that debuted last year made up of cigars Davidoff had previously discontinued but brought back as limited editions. The filler of the blend includes seco from San Vicente that was aged for six months in spent casks that previously held premier grand cru classé red wine from Bordeaux, France.

Eleven years ago, Davidoff entered a new chapter of its storied history, embracing Nicaragua and its tobacco. Ten years later, the company celebrated that event with a cigar; now that cigar gets a revisit.

Davidoff’s return to the PCA Convention & Trade Show means that all four of the large companies that balked at PCA 2020 will be exhibitors at PCA 2025.

Late last year, Gurkha filed a trademark lawsuit over Davidoff’s Limited Edition 2024 Year of the Dragon cigar. The two sides are also fighting a related legal dispute at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Expressions Limited Edition 2024 is a collaboration between Davidoff’s AVO brand and D-Nice, the hip-hop artist and DJ.

Davidoff is updating its Travel Humidor for 2024. The new design is offered in a dark green and orange colorway, though at least two more will be introduced between now and early 2025.

This is the fourth and final release of Davidoff’s History Re-Rolled. Rather than rereleasing a discontinued cigar, Davidoff turned to a new concept: Grand Cru + Diademas Finas.

While Davidoff has gotten one of four counts removed, the case will continue.
