Davidoff Year of the Snake 2025
A fresh start to the zodiac cycle.
As the Chinese zodiac cycle begins anew, Davidoff celebrates the Year of the Snake 2025 with the release of a stunning limited-edition cigar. This marks the second cycle of the brand's zodiac-inspired series, which began in 2012 and has since become a favourite among aficionados worldwide, with editions like the Year of the Tiger 2022 and the Year of the Rabbit 2023. The Year of the Snake 2025 cigar captures the essence of elegance, innovation, and sustainability, making it an exceptional addition to Davidoff’s portfolio.
The cigar’s slender Lancero format (43 x 178mm) pays homage to the sleek and graceful nature of a snake. Its construction combines an Ecuadorian wrapper and binder with a carefully selected filler blend of Dominican San Vicente, Mexican San Andrés Negro, and the newly introduced Dominican hybrid seed 98 from the Martín García region. Notably, this is the first Davidoff cigar to feature the hybrid seed 98 and only the second to use Mexican filler tobacco, showcasing Davidoff's dedication to pushing the boundaries of blending.
The Year of the Snake offers a flavor profile that is both fresh and dynamic, delivering a truly unique smoking experience. Bright notes of lemon impart a refreshing citrusy quality that awakens the palate, while rich undertones of leather add depth and complexity. These flavors are seamlessly rounded out by a smooth coffee finish, creating a harmonious and well-balanced medium-bodied blend that lingers elegantly on the palate.
The interplay between the Dominican San Vicente and Mexican Negro San Andrés filler tobaccos stimulates the palate with sour and salty sensations, while the hybrid seed 98 introduces sweet and creamy nuances, achieving a well-rounded and complex profile.
The packaging for the Year of the Snake reflects Davidoff’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. Each elegant wooden box contains 10 cigars and features a removable wooden frame and a numbered collector’s coin, enhancing the unboxing experience. The design abstains from hard-to-recycle materials like plastic, aligning with a more sustainable approach. Traditional red and gold accents—symbolic of luck and prosperity in Chinese culture—complete the luxurious presentation.
Handcrafted at the Cigars Davidoff factory in the Dominican Republic, the Davidoff Year of the Snake Limited Edition 2025 offers a fresh perspective on tradition and luxury. Whether you’re an avid collector or simply looking to enjoy a memorable smoking experience, this release promises to enchant and inspire.
