Davidoff Cigars is proud to announce the extraordinary launch of its most pioneering and rarest creation to date – the Davidoff Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years, featuring tobaccos that were aged for over a century.

111 years in one moment: Davidoff’s new Oro Blanco toro cigar takes exclusivity and age to an unprecedented level. Blended with the rarest of tobaccos with a combined age of 111 years, the toro is a masterpiece of raw vintage tobaccos of unmatched quality and the capabilities of Davidoff’s most experienced craftsmen.

The beginnings of Davidoff’s ultra-premium line

Davidoff’s latest launch announcement may bring back memories of its previous Oro Blanco cigar release in 2014. Back then, Davidoff’s first creation of such an exclusive nature received the highest accolades and endorsements around the world, including an impressive 94 points from the cigar blog “Halfwheel”, which also crowned it its “2014 Cigar of the Year”. With the last batch of this special cigar already released and soon to be completely gone, Davidoff today presents its new Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years, a rare Dominican puro of exceptional age and value. Davidoff thus introduces “Oro Blanco” as a line of special releases for luxurious cigars of the highest calibre.

Redefining rarity – the Davidoff Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years

To present aficionados an unprecedented ultra-premium experience that will fill their time more beautifully and luxuriously than any cigar has ever done before, Davidoff’s Master Blenders have opened the vaults with the oldest and most precious exclusive vintage tobaccos to create the Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years. Its blend is made up of well-aged tobaccos from five different terroirs. “We cultivate 15 terroirs in the Dominican Republic alone, as this allows us to blend cigars with very diverse and unique flavour profiles. Each of these terroirs yields tobacco with individual characteristics in terms of texture, intensity and taste”, explains Edward Simon, CMO at Oettinger Davidoff. “The new Davidoff Oro Blanco blend is composed with the finest and most aged tobaccos in the industry. The binder and each filler are at least 17 years old, including one that we have never used in a Davidoff cigar before, and that was grown in an area that we no longer cultivate. All tobaccos combined; the Dominican puro is an impressive 111 years old. It is only rolled by our Master Roller supervisors with at least 20 years of experience and is only released when our Master Blenders deem it ready to be enjoyed. I am proud to declare the Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years our rarest cigar to date, offering the ultimate indulgence to aficionados and appealing to collectors of ultra-premium creations”, concludes Simon.

Taste experience

The exquisite blend in the elegant toro format allows aficionados to savour this unforgettable experience for 70 to 90 minutes with entertaining flavour changes and a complexity that is second to none. This is due to the remarkable age of the tobaccos, which bring out the aroma to perfection.

The medium-intense cigar opens with notes of caramel and wood. Subtle citrus notes balance the sweetness and are complemented by a delicious creaminess. Over the course of the toro, it gains a fruitier character, paired with flavours of leather and roasted nuts, all the while still accompanied by creaminess from the beginning. In the final third, the lingering creaminess is paired with notes of dark chocolate, while the previous dried fruit flavours are still present as well. This concludes this full-bodied, dynamic masterpiece of ever- changing aromas.

Dimensions toro: 54 RG x 6” / Ø 2.2 cm x 15.2 cm
Intensity: 3 out of 5

Luxury inside and out

The sophisticated character of the toro is underlined by its presentation: each cigar is adorned with two tastefully branded Oro Blanco bands with silver elements.

In order to reflect this luxuriousness on the outside as well, Davidoff has set a new standard in packaging design. The Oro Blanco Special Release 111 Years comes in an elegant wooden box for one or ten cigars. The grain of the solid wood is reminiscent of the structure of a tobacco leaf. The Oro Blanco logo on the box is inspired by the rays of the sun. Due to its larger size, the box for ten cigars has some additional features such as a branded metal plaque, a smooth push and click system and a metal plaque that can be personalised.

The new Davidoff Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years will be available as of 17 October 2024* at select Davidoff appointed merchants and HORECA outlets, and Davidoff flagship stores around the world.
