Description

Davidoff continues its celebrated Chinese Zodiac series with the Year of the Horse Limited Edition 2026, a masterful creation that embodies the spirit of independence, grace, and vitality symbolised by the Horse. Crafted for discerning aficionados, this cigar captures the essence of movement and connection — much like the Horse itself, it strides forward with effortless confidence and refined elegance. When lit, its smoke rises in elegant ribbons, mirroring the power and freedom of this noble creature.

Inspired by the diversity and strength of horse breeds, Davidoff’s Master Blenders have composed a truly exceptional blend made entirely from proprietary hybrid seeds — a first in the brand’s history. With a combined tobacco age of 43 years, the blend unites three Dominican vintage fillers for smoothness and depth, wrapped in a flawless leaf that enhances the balance and complexity of the smoke. Presented in an exclusive Toro Especial format, each cigar is meticulously hand-rolled by Davidoff’s most skilled torcedores, ensuring a perfect draw and an elegant progression of flavours from start to finish.

The Year of the Horse opens with refined notes of wood, fresh spice, and creamy sweetness, gradually evolving into layers of roasted nuts, cocoa, and subtle dried fruit. Midway through, gentle pepper tones and soft leather emerge, creating harmony between richness and finesse. The final third deepens into a velvety balance of oak, coffee, and caramelised sweetness, leaving a long, satisfying finish that embodies Davidoff’s artistry.

The cigars are presented in a beautifully crafted dark wood box, accented with auspicious red and green tones representing good fortune and equestrian heritage. A stitched green frame evokes the texture of a saddle pad, while a removable strap calls to mind a horse’s reins. Inside, an engraved Davidoff logo and a printed horseshoe motif symbolise prosperity and craftsmanship. Each box includes a numbered collector’s coin, making it a true keepsake for enthusiasts and collectors alike. Limited to 17,500 boxes worldwide.
