Plasencia Year of the Dragon 2024 edition

The Plasencia Year of the Dragon 2024 edition is a 6 1/4 x 54 torpedo cigar released to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

The wrapper, binder, and filler of this cigar are exclusively Nicaraguan, sourced from the diverse Plasencia farms within the country. Plasencia describes this cigar as medium-bodied, yet possessing the bold and robust character of a dragon, with prominent earthy, leathery, and peppery notes.

The meticulous care and craftsmanship evident in the rolling of this Torpedo-shaped cigar make each piece a true masterpiece, ensuring a smoking experience that is nothing short of pure pleasure.

The Year of The Dragon Limited Edition 2024 marks the twelfth execution of Davidoff's yearly Chinese New Year celebration with a limited edition around a Chinese zodiac. It completes Davidoff's entire zodiac cycle which began in 2013 with the Snake.

The cigar surprises aficionados with an uncut foot, meaning that the first inch (2.5 cm) is to be enjoyed without the wrapper. This requires utmost precision in not only rolling but also the blending of the 8 different tobaccos with a combined age 60 years. Despite the absence of the wrapper, the beginning of the cigar is very enjoyable and exemplifies a high skillset in craftsmanship, as Davidoff's Master Blenders created an intriguing switch in taste and sensation as soon as the wrapper leaf comes in with added depth and complexity of flavours.
