Basel, April 2013. Inspired by Zino Davidoff\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pioneering spirit, we at Davidoff Cigars have made it our mission to bring the modern aficionado a variety of taste experiences and cigar smoking pleasures. Our experts, led by master blender Hendrik \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Henke\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Kelner, unceasingly explore every opportunity to create new and diverse ways of ensuring time spent enjoying each and every Davidoff cigar is time beautifully filled.<\/p>\n
For this challenge, Henke and his team embarked on a worldwide search for tobaccos that would enable us to create a unique cigar. The search landed in the tobacco fields of Nicaragua.<\/p>\n
Preparing, curing and ageing this tobacco for 10 years with the unique expertise of Davidoff craftsmen in the Dominican Republic allowed us time to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctame\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 the wilder tendencies of Nicaraguan tobacco and deliver a blend with intensity and excitement and all the refined sophistication you would expect from Davidoff.<\/p>\n
The new \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcDavidoff Nicaragua\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 line will come in three sizes: Toro (5 \u00c2\u00bd inches by 50 ring), Robusto (5 by 50) and Short Corona (3 \u00c2\u00be by 46), and the blend combines a 10-year old, Havana-seed wrapper with a binder from Jalapa and a filler blend of tobaccos from Estel\u00c3\u00ad, Condega and the volcanic region of Ometepe. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcDavidoff Nicaragua\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 will only be available in limited quantities per year.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is a major step, for us to expand to a new territory\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Davidoff CEO Hans-Kristian Hoejsgaard. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I wanted to develop products that were not necessarily origin-specific or rigidly tied down to one specific place. Davidoff is a brand, not a territory.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
In summary, a PURO Nicaragua with Davidoff\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s signature sophistication running through it \u00e2\u20ac\u201c for those who share our passion for exploration and for filling their time beautifully.<\/p>\n
Davidoff Nicaragua\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s official launch will take place during IPCPR in July 2013 in the USA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
