Davidoff Cigars has announced the upcoming release of the Davidoff Grand Cru Diademas Finas, a limited edition cigar that will conclude the company’s “Cigar History Re-Rolled” series. In 2023, Davidoff announced its “The Difference” campaign, which saw the return of some of the company’s most iconic White Band premium cigar releases of the past [read more here]. These re-releases included limited edition cigars from Davidoff’s Millennium, Signature, and Aniversario lines.
The Davidoff Grand Cru Diademas Finas is the fourth and final release in this special nostalgia-filled series and draws inspiration from the world of wine. Made in the Dominican Republic, the Davidoff Grand Cru Diademas Finas has an Ecuadoran wrapper and Dominican binder and filler. This cigar is presented as a 6 3/4 x 50 Diadema with a suggested retail price of $57 per cigar before applicable taxes. With this release, Davidoff shared that it cultivates 15 terroirs in the Dominican Republic, each contributing a unique flavor to their cigars.
In a press release, Oettinger Davidoff’s chief marketing officer, Edward Simon, commented, “The possibilities offered by different terroirs in winemaking and the blending of at least three different main grape varieties in French wine-making inspired Zino Davidoff in 1946 to create a cigar line that would be blended in the same way as a fine red wine. The line we know today as Grand Cru has its origins in this wine-cigar analogy. Our new Grand Cru Diademas Finas with a wine cask aged filler tobacco is based on this idea, as the cigar perfectly reflects the main aromas of a well-aged red wine.”
Only 4,000 boxes of the Davidoff Grand Cru Diademas Finas will be released. This cigar will go on sale beginning in July 2024 and will be available at select Davidoff Appointed Merchants, premium cigar retailers, and Davidoff of Geneva Since 1911 flagship stores.
