Davidoff celebrates the Year of the Snake 2025 with a limited-edition lancero cigar inspired by the Snake's personality. In its long lancero format reminiscent of a snake's body, this cigar surprises aficionados with a dynamic taste profile that is quite unusual for Davidoff. The blend is not only unique in taste, but also in tobacco innovation: This is only the second time that Davidoff’s Master Blenders have used a Mexican filler tobacco in a cigar, and the first time that they have used a Dominican hybrid seed 98 tobacco from the Martin Garcia terroir, which adds sweet and creamy notes.
A refreshing Yellow Bird cocktail, made with rum, herbs and orange liquor, lime juice and orange juice, pairs well with the lemony notes at the start of the lancero cigar. The leather and coffee flavours that make an appearance in the second and the last third also complement the citrus and fruit notes of the cocktail.

Davidoff:
Davidoff’s story begins with Zino Davidoff, who was born in Kyiv in 1906 before his family moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where they opened a small tobacco shop. As a young man, Zino travelled through South and Central America to learn about tobacco cultivation and cigar making. When he returned to Geneva, he introduced new ideas to the shop, including ageing cigars in controlled humidors and educating customers about proper storage and enjoyment.
His philosophy centred on refinement, patience, and craftsmanship. Over time the Davidoff name became associated with carefully selected tobacco, elegant presentation, and a focus on balance and consistency. In the late 20th century the brand established production in the Dominican Republic, where skilled rollers and carefully aged tobaccos continue the traditions that Zino Davidoff helped shape in the world of premium cigars.
