Info 1: Davidoff The Difference - What is the difference?
Do you know the difference? Four cigar lines from Davidoff are presented under The Difference.
The four lines are called White Band Collection. It is a timeless icon of sophistication and elegance. The difference with other cigars is, among other things, the strict quality control. In other words: When the white band closes around a cigar, it is the final act of a ritual of Caribbean passion and Swiss precision.
Cigars.Zone would like to help you understand this difference.

Davidoff The Difference - LAUNCH NOW!
Basel, Switzerland, January 2023. To present its loyal aficionados with interesting and surprising information about its unique cigar production process, Davidoff Cigars is launching its "The Difference" campaign. It puts the spotlight on Davidoff's highly acclaimed White Band Collection- Signature, Grand Cru, Aniversario and Millennium lines, offering fascinating behind-the-scenes insights into Davidoff's extraordinary endeavors and highest quality standards in cigar manufacturing. To kick things off, the brand is releasing a limited edition of its past favorite Davidoff Classic No. 1 cigar: the Davidoff Signature No. 1 Limited Edition Collection.
The foundation stone
The foundation for what distinguishes the brand today was laid over a century ago by the Davidoff family, who had to take a different path in life than planned and found refuge in Switzerland. The success story began with the opening of the first Davidoff store in Geneva. The store, which soon became an institution and a veritable meeting place for aficionados from near and far, paved Zino Davidoff's way into the world of premium cigars. Zino Davidoff's innovative entrepreneurial spirit is still anchored in the brand philosophy of Davidoff Cigars today and is lived with tangible pride every day by employees around the globe.
"Being different is an integral part of our brand DNA," says Edward Simon, CMO of Oettinger Davidoff AG. That's because Davidoff's production process is truly unique, from seed to finished cigar. "Since the opening of the Davidoff family's first store, we have steadily evolved. Zino Davidoff's first humidor and many other milestones have brought us to where we are today.
Swiss precision
Every day, Caribbean fire meets Swiss precision in our manufactory, in our fields, in our stores and, of course, in our cigars. Thanks to our 'Crop to Shop' philosophy, control of every step of the cigar creation process is in our hands. Always guided by our core values of craftsmanship, quality and consistency, we have managed to maintain our high standards even in the most challenging times.
We now want to proudly present these unique values to our customers through fact-based communication. Aficionados can look forward to intimate cigar events around the world where they can experience our campaign up close. We are additionally supporting this with an extensive initiative on all our digital channels. We want to show our customers, wherever they come into contact with Davidoff, how and where we do things differently," says Simon.

Davidoff Signature No. 1 Limited Edition Collection - cigar history repeated
The Davidoff Signature No. 1 in Slow Tasting: Check it out!
To kick off the big campaign around the unique Davidoff White Band Collection cigar lines with a bang, Davidoff is reissuing one of its most iconic and popular cigars as a Limited Edition. Originally known as Davidoff Classic No. 1, the master blenders have brought the blend we know today as Signature back to life in its thin and long panetela larga format with the pigtail cap.
Davidoff thus wants to surprise its loyal aficionados and collectors with a cigar that they have waited more than half a century to see return. The Limited Edition exemplifies the extra mile that Davidoff has been going for years in its production: a sufficiently large inventory, highly trained master blenders and rollers with years of experience came together to revive the unique cigar pleasure of many years ago. Because time is the most valuable ingredient in Davidoff cigars. In the case of the temporary return of the Davidoff Signature No. 1, this is even more true.
Due to its length and relatively small ring gauge, the typical Signature flavors are somewhat more intense in the Limited Edition. At the beginning of this elegant masterpiece, aromas of barley and toasted wheat underscore subtle notes of earth. As the cigar progresses, mild notes of cream and those of brown sugar take over, complementing floral spice. In the final third, gentle flavors of cedar and dried fruit join notes of pepper. The earthy, woody notes with the floral flavors of Signature No. 1 create a clean and creamy finish.
Davidoff White Band Collection - The icons of sophistication and refinement
The Davidoff White Band Collection is composed of four lines: Signature, Grand Cru, Aniversario and Millennium. The special feature is that they are all blended from the same three main Dominican tobaccos Olor, San Vicente and Piloto, which were picked in different leaf stages and are found in different proportions in the blend.
Davidoff Signature - creamy & elegant
Signature stands out in the cigar world. Every 30 seconds, an aficionado somewhere in the world enjoys a Davidoff Signature 2000. Another special cigar is the Signature Exquisitos, the smallest handmade longfiller cigar in the world.
Signature is largely composed of Volado tobaccos, which give the blend its smooth flavors and mild intensity. For each of the iconic formats, Davidoff Master Blenders have rebalanced and adjusted the blend. Thus, Signature is ideal for cigar novices and those in the mood for a mild, refined cigar.
ZiZo noteVolado are the lower tobacco leaves of the plant. They get less sunlight and are mild in flavor.
Davidoff Grand Cru - cultured & aromatic
Zino Davidoff's wine-cigar analogy from 1946 drew parallels between the production of wine and that of cigars. This inspired the creation of an entire line.
Grand Cru is a blend composed of three filler tobaccos, just as a Bordeaux wine is composed of at least three grape varieties. Davidoff Master Blenders used mainly Seco tobacco for Grand Cru to create a deep, multi-layered aromatic flavor. The line offers a range of different formats and ring gauges that are ideal for entry-level smokers and aficionados who want a sophisticated taste experience.
ZiZo Notice: Seco are the middle tobacco leaves of the plant. They get more sunlight and are complex in flavor.
Davidoff Aniversario - versatile & complex
Aniversario was launched in 1986 for Zino Davidoff's 80th birthday and is therefore the ideal cigar for any celebration. The line shines with some special formats such as Figurados Special "T" and Short Perfecto. Special "T" has a brand's own patented format that offers unique and different flavor experiences depending on the cut. Created mainly from Visus tobaccos, Aniversario is the perfect medium-bodied cigar to fill special times nicely.
ZiZo Notice: Visus are the tobacco leaves of the plant, which are almost at the top. They get a lot of sunlight and are medium in flavor.
Davidoff Millennium - intense & refined
The Davidoff Master Blenders worked tirelessly to develop the seed that would grow into the Millennium Blend's wrapper. After 300 trials, they were satisfied with Hybrid 151, which now grows under special conditions in Ecuador.
The work has paid off: the distinctive flavor of the wrapper makes Millennium the complex but sophisticated blend that it is. It is predominantly made up of Ligero and Visus tobaccos and offers the most intense enjoyment of the entire White Band Collection. Millennium is ideal for aficionados who appreciate rich notes of oily tobaccos.
ZiZo Notice: Ligero are the tobacco leaves of the plant that are at the top. They get the most sunlight and are intense and strong in flavor.
Market launch & availability
From January 26, 2023*, the Davidoff Signature No. 1 Limited Edition Collection will be available at Davidoff authorized dealers and Davidoff flagship stores worldwide.
*Market launch dates may vary by country.
