Davidoff Year of the Snake

The taste profile of the blend is quite unusual and a novelty for a Davidoff cigar. With its flavours of lemon, leather and coffee, the limited edition cigar makes for a perfect introduction to the new cycle. The Dominican San Vicente and the Mexican Negro San Andres filler tobaccos, which are both known to stimulate the areas on the palate responsible for sour and salty sensations, drive the fresh and lemony notes.The blend is not only unique in taste stimulation, but also in tobacco innovation. This is only the second time Davidoff’s MasterBlenders have used Mexican filler tobacco in a cigar, and the first time they have used a Dominican hybrid seed 98 tobacco from the Martin Garcia terroir, which adds sweet and creamy notes.The wrapper and binder are both from Ecuador and perfectly balance the flavors.

LANCERO FORMAT

Like the previous 2013 Snake churchill cigar, the long and slender lancero format pays homage to the shape of a snake. Because of itslength, a lancero is considered one of the most elegant cigar formatsand perfectly captures the elegance of the Snake’s character. Davidoff’sMaster Blenders envisioned the flavours gliding dynamically across thepalate, often changing direction, while maintaining Davidoff’s signaturebalance – a challenge for a complex blend in such limited space.
