Davidoff Cigars has a collection of well-known premium cigar brands in its portfolio, and this year, the premium cigar manufacturer is celebrating the milestone anniversaries of some of these brands with a series of special releases.
First introduced in 2016, the AVO Syncro Nicaragua introduced Nicaraguan tobacco into the AVO brand for the first time. The AVO Synchro 10th Anniversary Limited Edition will honor the brand nearly a decade later with a special box-pressed 6 5/8 x 50 diademas finas. This cigar will have an Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and filler tobacco from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
In a press release, Oettinger Davidoff chief marketing officer Edward Simon commented: “The AVO Syncro 10th Anniversary Limited Edition celebrates a decade of innovation and
craftsmanship. With this cigar, our Master Blenders showcase their unwavering commitment to expanding the boundaries of taste. The unique blend and distinctive vitola honor the Syncro legacy, delivering an unforgettable experience for our cigar enthusiasts around the globe.”
The AVO Synchro 10th Anniversary Limited Edition will have a suggested retail price of $22 per cigar before applicable taxes and is expected to ship to retailers in the U.S., Germany, and Switzerland in early April 2025.
The Davidoff Escurio is also getting a special anniversary release. The Davidoff Escurio 10th Anniversary Limited Edition is a premium cigar blended with a 4-year-old Ecuadorian wrapper, a 9-year-old Brazilian binder, and Dominican and Brazilian filler.
“Our large and diverse inventory facilitated the creation of this special cigar,” Simon explained in a press release. “By adding our well-aged Brazilian tobaccos, we not only distinguish ourselves in terms of stock but in terms of a unique taste experience where the spicy Brazilian tobaccos dynamically mingle with the creamy Dominican tobaccos. For extra depth, we have fermented one of the Dominican fillers in a bourbon cask, which gives the cigar a beautiful sweetness.”
In marketing materials for this new cigar, Davidoff describes the smoking experience of this new cigar as follows:
“The cigar begins with creamy and toasting flavors and notes of coffee–a combination much like a cappuccino. A long aftertaste, reminisce of that of a praline, lingers on the palate and is accompanied by hints of vanilla bean,” the company says of the first third of the cigar. “The ever-changing flavors evolve into a fruity character complemented by a pleasant sweetness imparted by the whisky-cask-aged Dominican filler tobacco. Dominant leather notes, enhanced by licorice, balance the sweetness perfectly. Towards the end, the cigar develops spicier notes. This is a noticeable influence of the Brazilian filler tobacco on the overall taste. Hints of bittersweet chocolate and almonds blends beautifully with the sweetness of acacia honey.”
Similar to the AVO Synchro 10th Anniversary Limited Edition, this cigar will also begin shipping to retailers in April 2025.
Davidoff will exhibit at the PCA25 trade show in New Orleans from April 11 to 14, 2025.
