Davidoff sports a pigtail for Chinese New Year

Davidoff is marking the Chinese Year of the Pig with limited-edition cigars and accessories.

The Gran Toro cigar with its proud pigtail is wrapped in a shiny and oily Dominican wrapper from the Yamasá area and develops smooth notes of pepper and wood once lit. 

Davidoff's Year of the Pig limited edition

Collectible Asian-inspired box

The Sumatra binder from Mexico and the well-aged filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic create a refined and balanced blend. Notes of liquorice, cream, vanilla, leather and spice were developed to please the big-hearted, determined personality of the pig, according to Davidoff.

The special edition is limited to 9,300 boxes worldwide, and comprises 10 Gran Toro cigars presented in a prestigious, lacquered Asian-inspired red box, designed to be collectible. 

The pig is represented by a simple and elegant graphic icon executed in gold, and the box contains a paper insert with the Year of the Pig story.

Davidoff has also introduced a special-edition Year of the Pig ashtray and double-blade cutter.

Inspired by the pig’s shape, the Italian-made round aluminum ashtray is enclosed with vibrant, grained, red leather to strikingly contrast the ashtray’s rich mocha color. 

In keeping with the pig’s generous nature, the ashtray has a holder for two cigars. The Davidoff logo is engraved on the metal and it comes in a limited numbered edition of 300 pieces.

The lightweight, German-made slim cutter is engraved with the elegant pattern. It will cut from a 22 to a 58 ring gauge and is made available in a limited number of 300 pieces.

The cigars and accessories were available at selected Davidoff appointed merchants and flagship stores from November 2018.
