Davidoff Year of the Tiger Limited Edition 2022

The Davidoff Year of the Tiger Limited Edition

To celebrate the Chinese New Year for the tenth consecutive year, Davidoff once again drew inspiration from the Chinese zodiac to create a truly unique edition: For collectors, aficionados, and especially those born in the Year of the Tiger, Davidoff proudly presents the exclusive Year of the Tiger collection — strictly limited to just 17,350 boxes worldwide.

This remarkable Limited Edition perfectly embodies the tiger in its design, construction, and flavor profile: with aromas as proud and distinctive as the tiger's personality, a wrapper that mimics its striped fur pattern, and a leading position in quality and craftsmanship — just as the tiger reigns supreme in its natural habitat.

Enjoyment & Details

For this anniversary edition, Davidoff selected an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper — a first for their Limited Editions. To enhance the visual experience, the wrappers undergo a natural coloring process that reproduces the tiger's characteristic fur pattern on the cigar. To achieve this, moistened veins of tobacco leaves are carefully laid on the wrapper leaves, which are then pressed for 48 hours.

The selection of pressure intensity and the careful removal of the veins afterward is a complex and delicate process: the fur pattern must be clearly visible, yet the wrapper must remain completely intact. Both the binder and all five filler tobaccos are of Dominican origin, setting the flavor tone of this Limited Edition.

The smoking experience begins with stimulating, spicy notes of pepper and cedarwood. The intensity then softens, giving way to a complex creaminess, characterized by alternating notes of cocoa, leather, and roasted nuts.

Davidoff Year of the Tiger Pairing Recommendation

This cigar reaches its unique finish with a delightful flavor evolution, leading to a refined honey note that defines the final third and completes the majestic experience. The dominant flavors — nuts, cream, and honey — pair especially well with a rum-based cocktail, making it a bold and ideal companion to the Year of the Tiger cigar.

This rare Limited Edition is presented in an impressive box of ten cigars, inspired by the tiger’s natural jungle habitat. Every detail of the box is crafted with care and dedication, reflecting high-end craftsmanship and premium quality without compromise.
