New cigar celebrates vibrant Dominican Republic

Basel-based Davidoff has introduced the Davidoff Dominicana limited-edition cigar that celebrates the Dominican Republic’s culture and lifestyle.

The Dominicana cigar line (pictured below) is Davidoff's celebration of its Dominican roots. To achieve a vibrant taste sensation that builds on the joyful culture of the Dominican Republic, Davidoff's Master Blenders concocted a complex blend of five Dominican filler tobaccos united in an Ecuadorian binder and crowned with a Dominican Yamasá wrapper.


The extended six-year ageing of the tobaccos harvested in 2014 results in a sophisticated and complex taste journey that makes this full-bodied, yet pleasantly balanced cigar a total Dominican experience.

The Dominicana cigar line comes in Short Robusto, Robusto and Toro formats. All three will be available in wooden boxes of 10 cigars featuring a vintage sticker to accent the aged tobacco.

The Davidoff Dominicana hits the shelves globally in May 2021.

AVO Improvisation 2021 limited edition

In other news, Oettinger Davidoff is introducing the ninth instalment of the prized AVO Improvisation Series.


In 2001, Avo Uvezian was one of the first to produce an annual limited-edition cigar, and to celebrate his legacy, AVO Cigar is breaking the mould once again with a 2021 release.


The AVO Improvisation 2021 showcases the heritage and innovation of the line with four distinct yet complementary Dominican filler tobaccos. Both the binder and wrapper tobaccos from Ecuador bring a modern, innovative note to the improvised aromas. The wrapper is treated with a special ageing and fermentation process to amplify the creaminess and sweetness of the tobacco.


The AVO Improvisation 2021 will be introduced in European markets in June, with 4,550 boxes available globally.
