The Davidoff Year of the Dragon Flagship Exclusive Limited Edition 2024

Davidoff has once again unveiled its exclusive "Year of" Masterpiece Gran Toro cigar as a limited edition, exclusively for esteemed customers of Davidoff of Geneva since 1911. The Flagship Exclusive 2024 allows customers to indulge in the exclusive cigar, typically available only as part of the 25 Masterpiece Humidors.

The Flagship Exclusive cigars are presented in an impressive box containing 24 cigars. The focal point of the box is the majestic Dragon icon at the center of the top surface, featuring a dragon holding a pearl. The packaging's regal appearance is further enhanced by the iridescent varnished dragon skin pattern.

Upon opening, enthusiasts will discover three trays with eight cigars each, adorned with a silky red ribbon resembling the dragon's tongue. The front side of the trays showcases a golden serial number plate. The Gran Toro, with the same tobacco varieties as the Year of the Dragon Limited Edition 2024 double corona cigar, provides a taste experience that is slightly smoother and more balanced, thanks to its format and larger ring gauge.

This exclusive release is limited to 600 boxes worldwide.

TASTING NOTES:

1/3 – The uncut foot of the cigar offers an inch of enjoyment without the wrapper leaf, presenting earthy, wooden, and herbal notes. Once the wrapper takes over, the taste transitions to rich notes of roasted nuts, cream, and subtle licorice.

2/3 – The intensity rises in the second third, with dominant notes of sweet honey, white pepper, and citrus. The Gran Toro format and a blend of 8 different types of tobaccos, aged for a combined 60 years, create an elegant and sophisticated taste journey.

3/3 – In the final third of the cigar, fresh spice and oak wood complement the prevailing notes of dark chocolate. The intensity remains consistent, resulting in a smooth and well-balanced conclusion to this masterpiece.
