Davidoff Chefs Edition 2025

Returning for a fifth time, the 2025 Chefs Edition from Davidoff is in collaboration with chef's Paolo Casagrande of Spain, Christian Bay of Germany, Kirk Westaway of Singapore, Nick Bril of Belgium, and Michael Beltran of the U.S.A. who collectively own 11 Michelin stars between them!

The toro cigar incorporates select tobaccos from Davidoff's iconic White Band Collection, mirroring the chefs' signature lightness and finesse. To introduce fresh notes while enhancing complexity, Davidoff's Master Blenders meticulously experimented with a variety of tobaccos and ageing techniques. Amongst other tobaccos, additional highlights of the blend include a Dominican San Vicente that was patiently aged for 15 years for exceptional depth, a Dominican hybrid tobacco for fresh lemon notes and a Dominican Piloto that was aged in Yagua bales for five years – a technique that has never been applied to tobacco in a Davidoff cigar before. The meticulous, labour-intensive traditional method involves carefully wrapping the tobacco in natural Yagua palm leaves, whose fibrous texture allows for a more refined ageing environment. This​ enhances the cigar’s smoothness, sweetness and complexity.​
