Davidoff Royal Release

Written By Eric Provost - October 07 2016

Henke Kelner and a team of just eigth master rollers have created one of the most exquisite Davidoff cigars to date.  The Davidoff Royal Release is the culmination of both years of experience and years of hard work.  

This is a very special project for Davidoff.  The built a separate new barn and curing facility just for the tobaccos used in the Royal Release.  All tobaccos in the cigars are aged for a full ten years.  After the first two years the tobaccos are inspected and only the ones that meet the highest Davidoff standards get the Royal Release stamp and are then aged for another eight years.  The cigars you see today use tobaccos from 2004 and 2005.

If you're going to make a cigar to your highest standards you want your best rollers making them.  Davidoff chose their top eight master rollers and made them the exclusive torcedors for the Royal Release.  Combined these rollers have made over 17 million cigars.  

What truly makes these cigars so special is the exclusive Dominican wrapper leaf.  This special wrapper has never been used on a Davidoff cigar, and will never be used on any other Davidoff cigar in the future; it's totally exclusive to the Davidoff Royal Release.

Each box comes with a certificate signed by Henke Kelner and the two rollers who made the cigars.

Davidoff Yamasa

Written By Eric Provost - August 02 2016

Davidoff Yamasa is a cigar 20 years in the making.  Henke Kelner, the master blender for Davidoff, found an outstanding region in the Dominican Republic nearly perfect for growing fine tobacco.  The climate was ideal, the soil was rich in minerals.  The only problem was the pH count in the soil was lacking.  Mr. Kelner and his team worked on enriching the soil and increasing the pH content.  After many years of work the soil was deemed just right for growing the Dominican Yamasa tobacco used to create the special Davidoff Yamasa.

Both the wrapper and binder are made with these unique Dominican Yamasa tobaccos.  The filler is perfectly balanced with sweet Condega and spicy Esteli tobaccos from Nicaragua.  Henke added some Dominican Piloto and Mejorado to add more strength and complexity to the blend.  

The Davidoff Yamasa immediately introduces notes of spice, leading to notes of nut, coffee, cedar wood, earth and black pepper.  It's another new experience created by Henke Kelner and Davidoff for cigar aficionados.  Enjoy!
