Davidoff Year Of The Horse 2026 Limited Edition Gran Toro

Davidoff welcomes the Year of the Horse with a striking limited-edition release that captures the spirit, elegance and presence of this revered zodiac sign. The Year of the Horse 2026 marks the 15th consecutive release in Davidoff’s celebrated Zodiac Series and the second time the brand has honoured the Horse, following the highly sought-after 2013 edition.

In Chinese zodiac lore, those born in the Year of the Horse are known for their independent elegance, persuasive presence and natural ability to turn even the simplest moment into something memorable. This philosophy lies at the heart of the cigar created in its name. From its impressive format to its refined blend, this toro especial embodies vitality, confidence and effortless charm.

The blend features an Ecuadorian wrapper over an Ecuadorian binder, complemented by three Dominican filler tobaccos. For the first time in Davidoff’s history, the entire blend is composed exclusively of proprietary hybrid seeds with a combined tobacco age of an extraordinary 43 years. These meticulously cultivated tobaccos lend depth, balance and smoothness, while showcasing Davidoff’s mastery of long-term tobacco innovation.

Rolled in a commanding 6 1/2 x 55 gran toro vitola, the Year of the Horse 2026 is brought to life by Davidoff’s most experienced Master Rollers, each with over 15 years of expertise. The generous format allows the blend to unfold slowly and expressively, delivering a refined and engaging smoking experience over approximately 90 minutes.

Once lit, the cigar awakens with elegance and momentum, its smoke rising in graceful ribbons that mirror the Horse’s vitality. The journey is smooth, composed and assured, revealing layers of complexity that develop harmoniously from first draw to final third. Balanced yet expressive, it is a cigar designed not to dominate, but to connect — encouraging conversation, reflection and shared enjoyment.

Presentation plays a central role in this release. The cigars are housed in a refined box crafted from dark-toned natural wood, accented by the auspicious red traditionally associated with Lunar New Year celebrations. Inside, equestrian-inspired details elevate the experience: a stitched green frame reminiscent of a saddle pad, a removable strap echoing horse reins, and an inner lid engraved with the Davidoff logo and a subtle horseshoe pattern symbolising good fortune. Each cigar is finished with a second band featuring green accents, one of the Horse’s lucky colours, while a numbered collector’s coin completes the presentation — a final touch for aficionados and collectors alike.

Limited to just 17,500 boxes worldwide, the Davidoff Year of the Horse 2026 is a distinguished celebration of craftsmanship, symbolism and timeless style — a must-have for marking Chinese New Year and an essential addition to any serious collection.
