In 1991, After 23 years of cigar production in
Cuba, Davidoff made a crucial strategic decision
to relocate its entire production enterprise
to the Dominican Republic. It was a tough
decision for a company which bore the symbol
of ultimate quality in the marketplace. Indeed,
the name Davidoff was well known as a synonym
for world supremacy and a household requisite
for the upper-class. But the Davidoff prestige
was undoubtedly linked to its Cuban heritage
and the globally publicized "divorce" spelled
jeopardy for the Swiss giant. The people
at the helm of corporate headquarters in
Geneva have made the right choice. The production
line was rebuilt in the Dominican Republic
and the brand was launched and quickly regained
its name as the epitome of cigar luxury.
A carefully controlled series of events signifies
the manufacturing of a Davidoff cigar. The
tobacco has to be aged up to four years and
only the finest leaves are used in a factory,
exclusively dedicated to the Davidoff brand.
All Davidoff cigars maintain well defined
standards of quality and excellence. The
tobaccos that are used in the different blends
have been cultivated in accordance with the
most ancient traditions, in the richest soils
and ideal climatic conditions of carefully
selected fields. The choicest leaves from
various harvests undergo four years of aging,
which imparts to Davidoff cigars their rich
aroma and consistently smooth taste. All
Davidoff cigars are handmade in the Dominican
Republic, where for over five centuries this art
has been passed on from generation to generation.
Distinct blends of aged Dominican Republic tobacco
create the six Davidoff cigar lines: The full
bodied and smooth Aniversario series, the delicate,
yet rich flavor of the Classic series, the medium-body "Thousand" series,
the full body Grand Cru, the new super-rich Milennium.
And last but not least the fantastic Special
series which includes the famed "Double R" and
the "Special T".
