The entire range of Davidoff products!
If a man closely bound his name to cigars it is without any doubt Zino Davidoff. Born on March 11, 1906 in the city of Novgorod in Ukraine. His family emigrated to Switzerland when he was 5 years old. Mr Davidoff - of its true first name Suessele-Meier , has as of its youth worked in the tobacco shop opened by hisfather Hillel in 1911 at the very center of Geneva.
At the end of a stay of almost 3 years in Latin America in the Twenties, Zino Davidoff is back in in Geneva and assumes the management of the the store from 1930 ownwards. During the Second World War the store will be the only point of sale in the world offering a complete range of 1st choice Cuban cigars: Switzerland not being at war, the French monopoly of tobacco, the Seita, sold a stock of more than 2 million havanes for 1 million french francs to Mr Davidoff before German troops entered Paris.
The business connections between Davidoff and Cuba developed after the war and as well after the cuban revolution of 1959. In 1967 the first products branded with the name Davidoff are produced in Cuba. In 1971, Davidoff sells his store and brand name to the Oettinger group but remains the ambassador of the mark. During the Eighties the relations between Cubatabaco and the Oettinger group tightened up to the the point of reaching a break: as of the 1991 all Davidoff products will be produced in Dominican Republic.
If aficionados still remember with nostalgia ucban made Davidoffs, the development of the range in Dominican Republic is without any doubt a great success. Offering more than 26 different vitolas, the Davidoff range is made up of 5 lines: from the light “Classic” to the morge vigorous “Millenium Blend”.
Products from Davidoff offer very high standards of quality and a consistency that is rarely equalled.
