Davidoff Cigars Celebrates the Year of the Snake with Exclusive Launches and Zodiac-Inspired Innovations
Davidoff Cigars is marking a fresh start in its Chinese zodiac-inspired series with the 2025 Year of the Snake collection, following the completion of its first full zodiac cycle in 2024. Known globally for premium handmade cigars, Davidoff launched this annual zodiac series in 2013 and has since delighted aficionados with distinctive, limited-edition cigars and accessories each year. In celebration of the new cycle, Davidoff has crafted an exclusive range of cigars and luxurious accessories for the Year of the Snake, introducing exciting innovations and paying homage to the elegance and sophistication of the snake symbol.
Limited Edition Lancero Cigar
The Davidoff Year of the Snake Limited Edition lancero, a 43-ring gauge, 7-inch cigar, offers a unique blend of Ecuadorian wrapper and binder, paired with Dominican San Vicente and Mexican Negro San Andres fillers. This blend creates an unexpected yet delightful profile featuring notes of lemon, leather, and coffee, balancing smoothness and richness. This lancero cigar is not only a rarity in Davidoff’s offerings but also represents the innovation Davidoff is infusing into its zodiac series. Aficionados will find the experience both memorable and refined, with an intensity level of 3 out of 5.
Flagship Exclusive Toro Cigar
For those seeking the ultimate exclusivity, Davidoff’s flagship stores offer a Year of the Snake Toro cigar available only in select locations. Crafted specifically for Davidoff of Geneva since 1911, this exclusive edition provides a similar flavour profile to the lancero, wrapped in a 52-ring gauge, 6-inch toro format. Limited to just 600 boxes worldwide, it’s a rare treasure for discerning cigar enthusiasts.
Thoughtful Accessories and a Stunning Masterpiece Humidor
To complete the collection, Davidoff has unveiled the Year of the Snake Accessories Gift Set, including a porcelain ashtray, a two-cigar case, and a punch cutter—all adorned with snake-inspired designs. The accessories, presented in a stunning box with a collector’s coin, are limited to 500 pieces, adding a collectible quality to this luxurious set.
The centrepiece of the collection is the Masterpiece Humidor, adorned with intricate snake artwork crafted by Chinese artist Feifei Chen and marquetry artist Mariane Léger. This 326-piece wooden design showcases a snake motif inlaid with 24-carat gold, embodying artistry and sophistication. Accompanying the humidor are 88 gran toro cigars, a number symbolising good fortune in Chinese culture.
