The Blend
Crafted with tobaccos from Davidoff’s revered White Band Collection, the Davidoff Chefs Edition 2025 delivers a smoking experience that is both complex and incredibly approachable, marked by a signature freshness that mirrors the essence of the chefs' culinary styles. Davidoff Master Blenders went the extra mile, elevating this blend in terms of taste and age to new heights.
Dominican San Vicente Visus
15-year aged tobacco, a foundation of profound depth.
Dominican Hybrid 98
Infusing vibrant notes of fresh lemon, echoing the Year of the Snake Limited Edition 2025.
5-Year Yagua-Aged Dominican Piloto Seco
A truly unique component, offering unparalleled smoothness and complexity.
Mexican Binder
Harmonising the diverse flavours.
Yagua Ageing
The Dominican Piloto seco tobacco undergoes an exclusive five-year Yagua ageing process. Davidoff Master Blenders meticulously hand-wrap it in natural Yagua palm leaves, a traditional method that infuses the tobacco with unmatched smoothness, sweetness, and complexity. This labour-intensive technique, using locally sourced leaves, makes the Chefs Edition 2025 the only Davidoff cigar with this rare, Yagua-aged tobacco, ensuring a truly unique smoking experience.
Taste Experience
1/3
Filler: Dominican Republic
The cigar opens dynamically with cayenne pepper and sweet whipped cream, enhanced by complex floral aromas from the five-year Yagua-aged Piloto seco tobacco.

Binder: Mexico
Mid-journey, an impressive bouquet emerges. Cayenne pepper lingers on the retrohale, joined by perfumy rosewood, leather, and a subtle lemon hint.
3/3
Wrapper: Ecuador
The final third unveils a crescendo of fresh spice, coffee, and oak wood as perfumed notes transform into more robust, ever-changing aromas. A true chef-d'oeuvre.
Perfect Pairing
Davidoff presents exquisite pairings, curated to delight the most refined tastes.
The Chef’s Choice
Sauvignon Blanc
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc, with its bright citrus and tropical fruit notes, perfectly harmonises with the cigar's floral, rosewood, and fresh spice accents. Its lighter body beautifully complements the cigar's rich profile, ensuring a balanced experience.
The Curated Sip
Virgin Moscow Mule
Vibrant ginger, sweet cinnamon honey, and bright citrus mingle with the cigar's complexity. Expect blooming floral and creamy notes, with hints of cayenne and coffee. Zesty lime and orange bitters cut through earthy oak and leather, while honeyed sweetness softens the smoke.
(Ingredients: Ginger beer, fresh lime juice, cinnamon-honey syrup, orange bitters, ice. Garnished with a fresh lemon slice and mint.)
