Davidoff Year of Collector's Edition

Davidoff has announced the Davidoff Year of Collector’s Edition. It’s an impressive collection that includes all of the limited edition cigars paying homage to each element of the Chinese Zodiac that Davidoff has released over the years With the recent release of the Davidoff Year of the Dragon, Davidoff has completed a full cycle of the Chinese Zodiac.

Davidoff’s Chinese Zodiac series traces back to 2012. At that time, Davidoff launched the Davidoff Cuveé Selection 2012 inspired by the Year of the Dragon. That release was exclusive to the Asian market, but it was received with great interest, and as a result, Davidoff opted to turn it into a worldwide limited edition series. This kicked off in 2013 with the Year of the Snake Limited Edition and has continued annually since.

The Davidoff Year of Collector’s edition features 12 trays, each representing a Chinese Zodiac year. Each tray contains eight of the limited edition cigars released by Davidoff to pay homage to that year. The following are the limited edition cigars that are included:

“Each zodiac sign has its own distinctive and fascinating character traits, which we translated into our packaging design and our cigars’ formats and tasting notes. In the same way that larger zodiac signs such as the Horse, the Ox or the Dragon have led to the creation of generously sized cigars, the Rabbit perfecto cigar discloses its depth and complexity slowly – just like the Rabbit reveals its character gradually,” commented Edward Simon, CMO at Oettinger Davidoff, in a press release. “With these editions, we have been able to offer our aficionados a seamless journey that reflects the zodiac sign from opening the box to enjoying the special cigar. I am thrilled that we can now bring our combined expertise from the past twelve years to a select few in a collection that takes craftsmanship and packaging design to a new level.”

Davidoff has produced a total of 100 Year of Collector’s Edition units.  Furthermore, a numbered plate with the serial number engraved on the casing is featured on each unit.
