Taste Experience
The toro cigar incorporates select tobaccos from Davidoff's iconic White Band Collection, mirroring the chefs' signature lightness and finesse. To introduce fresh notes while enhancing complexity, Davidoff's Master Blenders meticulously experimented with a variety of tobaccos and ageing techniques. Amongst other tobaccos, additional highlights of the blend include a Dominican San Vicente that was patiently aged for 15 years for exceptional depth, a Dominican hybrid tobacco for fresh lemon notes and a Dominican Piloto that was aged in Yagua bales for five years – a technique that has never been applied to tobacco in a Davidoff cigar before. The meticulous, labour-intensive traditional method involves carefully wrapping the tobacco in natural Yagua palm leaves, whose fibrous texture allows for a more refined ageing environment. This enhances the cigar’s smoothness, sweetness and complexity.
Story behind the cigar
Fine dining and premium cigars share deep parallels – both are built on blending, craftsmanship, expertise, and a profound understanding of flavour. Davidoff has embraced this connection and launched its first Chefs Edition in 2016 – a cigar co-created with Michelin-starred chefs around the world who brought their impressive skills and their creative vision to the blend. For the Chefs Edition 2025 toro cigar, Davidoff collaborated with five renowned chefs, collectively holding 11 Michelin stars. Paolo Casagrande *** (Lasarte, Spain), Christian Bau *** (Victor's Fine Dining, Germany), Kirk Westaway ** (Singapore), Nick Bril ** (The Jane, Belgium) and Michael Beltran * (Ariete, USA) – all passionate Davidoff aficionados – brought their skillset and their appreciation of flavour to the blending table of this exceptional cigar.
