Davidoff Year of the Dragon - 2024 - Limited Edition Gran Toro

The limited-edition gran toro features a multi-origin blend composed of 8 different tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Mexico and Ecuador, which in total have a combined age of 60 years. The cigar surprises aficionados with an uncut foot, meaning that the first inch (2.5 cm) is to be enjoyed without the wrapper. This requires utmost precision in not only rolling but also blending. Despite the absence of the wrapper, the beginning is very enjoyable and exemplifies a high skillset in craftsmanship, as Davidoff's Master Blenders managed to create an intriguing switch in taste and sensation as soon as the wrapper leaf comes in with added depth and complexity of flavours.

For the twelfth consecutive time, Davidoff celebrates the Chinese New Year with a collection around a zodiac. With this release, the brand for the first time completes an entire zodiac cycle, which began in 2013 with the Snake. The Dragon is the largest and most important character in the entire zodiac, and Davidoff reflected this with a number of special limited products. Amongst them is the gran toro cigar, which is only available in the very limited Year of the Dragon Flagship Exclusive and the Year of the Dragon Masterpiece Humidors.
