Davidoff Special "B"

Davidoff is expanding its successful Special Series with a new cigar. This spring, the Special "B" will be launched in an elegant Belicoso format. The tobacco blend is based on that of the traditional "Grand Cru" Series, but with a considerably fuller and more aromatic flavour.

With its Special "B", Davidoff is bringing new life to a classical Figurado format. Belicosos are characterised by their pointed ends, which requires considerable skill on the part of the cigar rollers. When preparing the cigar, care must be taken to ensure that the head is cut correctly. The smoke channel must constantly remain smaller than the body of the cigar, for otherwise it resembles a normal Corona format.

Like all Davidoff cigars, the Special "B" consists of carefully selected, well-matured tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, stored for up to four years prior to processing. When producing the cigar, leaves from various harvests are mixed to ensure constant quality of aroma and flavour.

In terms of taste, Davidoff is also breaking new ground. The tobacco blend is based on the rich components of the Davidoff "Grand Cru" Series, but more body and flavour. This harmonious, well-rounded aroma is achieved through the blending of three types of tobacco. These are San Vicente, Olor and Piloto, the highest proportion being that of the strongly flavoured Piloto. The binder leaf is a special San Vicente leaf from the "Chepe Perez" finca, which is used only for the Special "B". The Connecticut wrapper leaf undergoes additional fermentation at Davidoff, thus intensifying its aroma. For optimum protection of the delicate head, the cigars are individually wrapped in cellophane. The Special "B" will be gradually introduced in over 90 countries over the coming months.
