In what officially marks the seventh time Davidoff Cigars has celebrated the Chinese New Year by crafting a one of a kind cigar, Davidoff offers exclusive Limited Edition cigars and accessories commemorating the Year of the Pig. 2019 kicks off with the Year of the Pig, which is the zodiac sign symbolizing luck and wealth as well as compassion and generosity. It is said that those who are born on the Year of the Pig are gifted with a knack for success and the people around them have both luck in fortune and strength in spirit. It can also be said that when a person possessing this zodiac sign steps into a room, the mood immediately becomes brighter – much like the lighting of a savory Davidoff cigar.
This exclusive Davidoff cigar, which is an intense pigtailed Gran Toro, reflects the Pig’s nearly “pig-headed” determination of concentrating on nothing but the prize. When a Pig chooses its path to take, it will never fail in completing its mission. The Pig is a good representation of friendship and undying loyalty. If you manage to befriend a Pig, it might just share with you its luck, a fine bottle of spirit, or a palatable Limited Edition Davidoff cigar if your luck is high enough.
Sheltered in a polished and lustrous wrapper from the Yamasá area, the Gran Toro 6 x 56 format with its pigtail evokes silky notes of pepper and wood once lit-up. The cigar’s finespun, balanced, and aromatic blend is the result of the Sumatra binder from Mexico in tandem with an oily Habano 2000 leaf wrapper from Ecuador and the finely-aged filler tobaccos (San Vicente Ligero, San Vicente Mejorados Visus, Piloto Visus, Piloto Volado and Yamasá Visus tobaccos) from the Dominican Republic. Brimming with flavor, as soon as the cigar touches your lip you are welcomed by notes of liquorice, vanilla, cream, leather and spice.
The number of these limited edition cigars ($39 each/$390 per box) are in short supply with only a total of 9,300 boxes internationally, wherein each box accommodates just ten Gran Toro cigars. The prominent, lavishly lacquered Asian-inspired red box is also a masterpiece in of itself as it proudly serves as a sanctuary for the cigars within as well as a quick collectable. A simple Pig is depicted in gold on the cover of the box; while inside the box there is another identical depiction of the Pig as well as a paper insert that tells the story of the Year of the Pig.
In addition to the cigars and their boxes, Davidoff is also offering its special edition Year of the Pig ashtray and double-blade cutter. The Italian made round aluminium ashtray ($395) is encased with dynamic red leather to create a stunning contrast between it and the ashtray’s deep mocha colour. To honour the Year of the Pig, the ashtray portrays the generous nature of the Pig by having a stable holder for two cigars. Additionally, the Davidoff logo is engraved on it and is limited to 300 pieces.
On the other hand, the double-bladed cutter is a german made, lightweight cutter that is engraved with an elegant design. The cutter’s surface is made up of impermeable, stainless steel – allowing for an easy clean and protection against corrosion. A perfect cut on both sides of the cigar is guaranteed thanks to its double-blade, while the interspersed spring system imparts a balanced blade movement. Another key feature is that the blades lock when it is not being used, which is an excellent safety precaution for the owner. Limited to only 300 pieces, the cutter is capable of trimming anything from a 22 to a 58 ring gauge.
