For your December cigar gift-giving needs, Davidoff has come out with something new and pricey. The Davidoff Royal Salomones have a 21-centimeter, extralong Salomones format with a 57 ring gauge. It has a slightly bulbous shape at the cigar's lower end. Only the four best Davidoff cigar rollers are put to work creating the cigar in the factory at Villa Gonzalez, in the Dominican Republic. The cigars use a blend of seven tobaccos which are fermented and matured for at least seven years. The binder leaf and filler tobaccos originate from the Dominican Republic and are grown in the Cibao Valley. The cigar is a medium strength smoke with a full rich flavor. The cigars come in a box of 50 which is made of mahogany wood with cedar wood trays. The cigar is available in a limited edition starting this month. I haven't heard any word on official pricing but rumors earlier this year put the price at around $2,000 a box.Posts with tag davidoff

Make your
way down to Havana on February 27th for the VIII Festival del Habano. The 5 day event
offers a variety of activities to celebrate and promote cigars. Visits of tobacco plantations and even a tour of the
factory which was once home to Davidoff, Cohiba and Trinidad will take place. There will also be special cigar
and spirit matching sessions. The whole cigar fest will set you back about 1,260 Cuban Convertible Pesos. Perhaps
we should convert to a more useful currency, like US dollars. So if we multiply by the number of US dollars per
convertible peso, that comes out to ... 1,260 US dollars.Davidoff Club Cigarillos
Cigarillos get a bad rap sometimes but if you don't have the time to devote to a full cigar they can be perfect.
Famed cigar maker Davidoff has created Davidoff Club Cigarillos
which use tobaccos from lands within the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans and are created in Denmark. The filler
is composed of tobacco found in Eastern Java, Brazil and the Dominican Republic. The binder is also from Java and the
wrapper is from Sumatra, from where the wrapper originates. The cigarillos come in metal tins of ten and sell for around $55.
