Davidoff marks the energetic Year of the Horse

Davidoff is celebrating the Chinese New Year of the Horse with a special collection of accessories for 2014, which complements its Limited Edition Year of the Horse Gran Toro cigar release. Zino Davidoff, who founded Davidoff in 1875, was himself born in the Year of the Horse.

To celebrate the energetic and active horse, Davidoff presents a new collection of accessories composed of a lighter, a round cutter, two cigar cases, three ashtrays and a humidor. The cigar accessories are crafted in a shiny black and fiery finish.

Davidoff Year of the Horse ashtrays

The Year of the Horse Prestige Lighter has an octagonal design and comes in a gilded, moiré pattern. It shows an elegant and energetic horse engraved on the side.

The Year Of The Horse Cigar Cases are finely crafted in vegetable tanned full-grain leather from Europe. The leather tanning process is natural and the colouring and sealing of the case are hand crafted. The particular aesthetic finish is secret, the company says, adding that the craftsmen work with "forms and fire" to create them. The characteristics of this special leather such as veins, scars and different tones are designed to exemplify its purity and authenticity. The cases are crafted in two colours : shiny fiery red or brilliant blacks. They are designed to hold two XL cigars.

Davidoff Year of the Horse humidor

The Year of the Horse Ashtrays are made in the renowned city of Limoges from the finest porcelain, a porcelain which was first described as White Gold in the Imperial Period and was produced with a special combination of kaolin, quartz and feldspar. The density of this exclusive material is said to be a perfect surface to apply painted designs. The ashtrays come in three different designs.

The Davidoff Limited Edition Year of the Horse humidor has been designed with a slim lid, inspired by the brand's classical cigar boxes. To guarantee the air-tight seal of the humidor and meet Davidoff’s high quality standards, small metal pieces are embedded in the lid and ensure that it remains airtight throughout the years.
