Brand Story
Founded by the legendary Zino Davidoff, the Davidoff name has become synonymous with sophistication, craftsmanship, and the art of fine living. The brand’s roots trace back to Zino’s family tobacco business in Geneva, Switzerland, where he developed a deep passion for premium cigars and an obsession with perfection. In 1969, Zino partnered with Cuba’s finest cigar makers to create his own line, achieving global acclaim for quality and refinement. However, after ending Cuban production in 1991, Davidoff relocated manufacturing to the Dominican Republic, where master blender Henke Kelner helped redefine the brand with new blends of unmatched consistency and smoothness.
Heritage & Craftsmanship
Every Davidoff cigar is meticulously handmade in the Dominican Republic using tobaccos aged for a minimum of four years, with some blends resting for as long as eight. The result is an elegant, perfectly balanced smoke that captures the brand’s signature philosophy: “Time Beautifully Filled.” Each line is crafted with precision and artistry, delivering unique experiences for the modern aficionado - from light and aromatic to complex and full-bodied.
