For the twelfth consecutive time, Davidoff celebrates the Chinese New Year with a collection around a zodiac. With this release, the brand for the first time completes an entire zodiac cycle, which began in 2013 with the Snake. The Dragon is the largest and most important character in the entire zodiac, and Davidoff reflected this with the large double corona cigar. The limited-edition double corona is composed of 8 different tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Mexico and Ecuador, which in total have a combined age of 60 years. The cigar surprises aficionados with an uncut foot, meaning that the first inch (2.5 cm) of the cigar is to be enjoyed without the wrapper. This requires utmost precision in not only rolling but also blending. Despite the absence of the wrapper, the beginning of the cigar is very enjoyable and exemplifies a high skillset in craftsmanship, as the Master Blenders managed to create an intriguing switch in taste and sensation as soon as the wrapper leaf comes in with added depth and complexity of flavours.
