Davidoff Year of the Horse 2026

November 3, 2025 - Press Release 

In 2026, Davidoff celebrates the Year of the Horse with rare cigar formats, vintage tobaccos, and exclusive gifts.

Limited Edition – Toro Especial Cigar

The Year of the Horse Limited Edition celebrates the sign with a cigar blend composed exclusively of proprietary hybrid tobaccos, amongst them three vintage tobaccos in the filler. The tobaccos in the blend have a combined age of 43 years. 

The Toro especial format, which Davidoff has never crafted before, depicts the Horse’s presence and elegance. It is brought to life by the brand’s most experienced Master Rollers, each with over 15 years of expertise.

Flagship Exclusive – Torpedo Cigar  

For the customers of the Davidoff of Geneva since 1911 flagship stores, Davidoff offers its patented torpedo shape for the first time as a limited edition. With an availability of 600 boxes worldwide, the Flagship Exclusive provides customers with the opportunity to acquire the cigar in a beautiful box of 24.

Accessories Gift Set 

Davidoff unveils an Accessories Gift Set, bringing the Horse to the heart of the cigar ritual. Inspired by the Horse as the natural master of ceremonies, the Accessories Gift Set created in its name is designed to enhance any cigar ritual.  It reveals a porcelain ashtray for two cigars, a cigar leather case, and a larger double-bladed cutter. 

Limited to 328 pieces each, the accessories are only available as part of the Gift Set.

Masterpiece Humidor – Gran Toro Cigars

The Year of the Horse Masterpiece Humidor is the most valuable piece of the Year of the Horse collection. Its lid features a rearing horse that was brought to life by labour-intensive straw marquetry. 

Each of the 20 available pieces comes with 88 Gran Toro cigars.

Are they yummy though? I wish there were more tasting notes and discussion of the tobacco itself, and less about the fancy packaging. Which I'm sure is very nice, but given I'm setting the main part of what I paid for on fire, the flavor notes are pretty crucial in driving a purchase decision. If they're aiming for a market that doesn't care what it tastes like so much as what it looks like and how prestigious and fancy the packaging is, that is not a good sign for how the cigar tastes. I like Davidoff, but what I'm willing to pay for is a premium flavor experience and they aren't giving us anything here to inform that. 

[LizardGizmo]

Davidoff is no different than Habanos with these releases. 88 cigars for $49,000?

Like @JDoughty said, they spend their time talking about the packaging. The horse is wound with silk and there’s a collectible “Year of the” coin in the box for the avid coin collectors out there…

“Combined age” of the tobacco is 43 years? If we count the tobacco leaves in a Rocky Patel Decade, the “combined age” of that cigar has to be 25 years.

They’re not proud cigar makers anymore - they now sell fancy boxes that happen to hold rolled-up tobacco leaves.

Whenever a cigar maker does that s**t, I lose a measure of faith and respect for that company. Davidoff has produced some of the greatest cigars I have ever smoked, back in the day. But they've also put out some real stinkers in more recent years, as well as some that just don't fully hit the mark. And at their price point, I expect better. If they've moved fully into the era of being more sizzle than steak, I'm probably done with the brand.

You two sum it up for me: If they want to be Gucci but for cigars, then they probably lose me. I absolutely love the Millennium Blend (Robusto and Pyramid only--Toro is weird and the PC is too little cigar for the price), and I find the Signature No. 2 and the Gran Cru No. 3 to be fantastic morning smokes. The WC Bellicoso is delicious, and the Maduro Robusto is a dessert dream. But the prices are getting a bit nutty.

A Millennium Robusto in NYC is almost 2x the cost of a Padron Exclusivo, and it doesn't offer something that's twice as good despite my loving both. I'd love to find the Millennium profile in something less expensive but still quality, but I haven't tasted a Fab5 cigar that has it yet, nor do I know of others that have that Millennium flavor, elegance, and balance. But they may lose me, nonetheless.

It's a neigh from me.

I'm born in the year of the horse and I will buy (the regular production box) as well as Cohiba's release, just because I like having them for my collection. I mean no offense, but I think some of you guys take this way, WAY too seriously. It's a special release. They're always expensive and extravagant from every brand. They're not re-situating the entire portfolio and it's kind of ridiculous some of you are claiming Davidoff is pivoting their entire brand persona now because of it. Pump the brakes and take a breather guys, lol. Some of the comments above are borderline absurd about losing respect for Davidoff over THIS? Like you do realize Davidoff has done this for over a decade and Cuban Marcas like Cohiba do do this regularly as well? 😂

Anyways, I really like how exquisite the packaging looks on this as a collector item. The top snap cover looks very equestrian and exudes a vibe which is perfect for the horse year. They did really well with the aesthetic. I kind of want the gift set too but $1888 is stupidly overpriced for that and can't do it.

With that being said, the only thing I do find corny is the whole '43 years of age' tidbit. Completely unnecessary.

[JoeyBones777]

The only Davidoff I smoke is the Winston Churchill belicoso. The best bang for buck Davidoff experience period. Everything else I've had from them was overpriced for the experience to me. To each their own, though. I know a lot of guys and gals who love Davidoff.

Well said! Davidoff are generally expensive especially here in 🇬🇧 but they also have reliability & excellent production quality. Yes the Limited Editions may be overpriced & the packaging adding further unnecessary expense but it’s a luxury treat not an everyday smoke. If it was marketed as an everyday smoke then no way. I treated myself to the Year of the Snake box because of my son & when he’s older how special to have that special box to get out to share with him. I’m also a Year of the Horse so I’ll try to treat myself to a box of those. People do take this hobby far too seriously & it’s a real shame. Some people can’t smoke all the time for whatever reason so getting the chance to smoke one is a treat & how special it is to open an extra special box to enjoy when they can. Life is far too short as it is & we should enjoy cigars more instead of taking them far too seriously.

I can't wait to see what Cohiba does. I REALLY hope they don't do Shorts for the Horse year, as I never smoke Shorts, but they've done it for 4 years straight with other zodiacs, so we'll see.

It's not this specific release so much as a general trend of higher prices that don't correlate to actual cigar quality. The celebratory releases are just the more obvious examples. 

[SonicStag]

It’s not just Davidoff doing it, it’s all brands from all countries including Fuente, Padron, Oliva, Rocky, Plasencia & so many more.

I see this commonly chirped about Davidoff, mostly from guys whose palate prefers stronger sticks. If you really hone in they are one of the best at 'sophisticated' mild blends, in my opinion, and are incredibly pleasant. Davidoff and Fuente are the only two NW brands I partake.

Davidoff also has some of the best rollers/construction (no hiccups/plugging/unraveling/etc).

So again, your statement of 'doesn't correlate to actual cigar quality', I don't get it whatsoever. Can you please elaborate your opinion and where this is coming from? Or does it simply come down to 'I don't like what they charge and don't like the taste, so they're a horrible buy'? Genuinely not being snippy, curious. As there's tons of guys I know (myself included) who really, really enjoy the brand but there's a collective group who seem to just want to bash Davidoff and I truly don't understand it.

Sure. And this isn't a knock against anyone who loves the brand. There are a couple factors for me here. Davidoff made some of the greatest cigars I have ever smoked, and I have been incredibly fortunate to be able to have enjoyed some of their 1960's through 1980's creations. Truly incredible cigars. And yes, I'm sure that the age on them contributed to how amazing they were. In the 90's up until 2019 or so, I still enjoyed them a good deal, though they were not in my regular rotation. I was rarely disappointed when trying one of their cigars even if I hadn't tried it before. When Covid hit I bought a few more of them, but for the first time it seemed that there were more misses than hits and I did not care much for about half of them. I still enjoyed the Millennium blends, but not so much trying the new ones as it seemed like every time I did, I wasn't best pleased with the result. Yamasa and Late Hour come to mind as two I found to be misses. I don't recall all of them, but I posted my thoughts on the Yamasa Piramides here. 

Basically I had a few too many "I just spent $40-70 on a cigar and thought it was awful" experiences with the brand in more recent years. 

[smashed]

Well it's not really a fair comparison to compare pre 1990~ Davidoff to current time Davidoff....you're comparing a Cuban blend to Dominican, and a decades old aged Cuban if you were smoking them anytime recently, nothing in the world compares to that...haha.

For me personally, all the white labels are where Davidoff shines. Really great 'mild' cigars, superb construction, that's the niche where they excel. I'm also not a fan of a lot of the branching out. Millennium is one of their bests for sure, along with Aniversaro. When I can find them on sale I'll buy a couple boxes.

I guess what it boils down to me for me is let's say you can find a Millennium Robusto for $25 on sale (which I've done countless times). A bit expensive, sure, but not totally crazy in 2025. I think that's a perfectly fine buy for a fantastic mild blend stick, which you will have zero worries about draw, roll issues, 10/10 construction literally every time. Using that as an example is where I just don't get some people (not saying you, just generally) who say that Davidoff is just a horrible buy and a total no go for them. I can't help but feel that half the people who talk down on Davidoff are just regurgitating stuff they read on the internet and have never even tried them (again, not insinuating this as you, just a general perception I have).

I generally do like those. I've just had a few too many expensive flops from other Davidoffs I've tried in recent years. And yes, totally unfair comparison of the old Cuban Davidoffs to modern production. 😆

[rcarlson]

Combined age.  🤣

[SonicStag]

Davidoff get bashed for high prices and yet when Padron charge £90 plus for a cigar - ohh that’s ok because their a family business, same with Fuente. 

There’s far too much of the cigars are not like they used to be that goes on too. No cigars now will be the same as years gone by, everything has changed and as good as the brands try to make something consistent they can’t always, just like whisky and wine. Cigars are all different from all different places and everyone has their own likes and dislikes, let’s just get back to enjoying what we’ve got now whatever that may be and stop being so serious.

I've never had a bad tasting Padron cigar. I wish I could say the same about Davidoff in recent years. I used to have confidence that if it was a top shelf Davidoff, it would be an enjoyable smoke and quite likely an excellent one. I found this to be solidly true up until 2018 or so, then I started having some questionable experiences for much too much money with Davidoffs. I still have that confidence in Padron and have not yet been disappointed. I don't mind paying $$$ for a cigar, but it had better be worth it to smoke. Not all Davidoffs are bad of course, some are still excellent, but I've had a few too many expensive rugs pulled out from under me with that brand lately. 

[Cestis4]

I did not like Year of the Snake at all. It had a weird citrus taste. I’m looking forward to trying these.  

[loose_axle]

So far Year of the Tiger - amazing. Year of the Ox - probably one of the best cigars I've ever had. Year of the Rabbit - insipid. I have but am yet to try Dragon and Snake. I will get a couple of the Horse to try.

Davidoff Year Of The Horse Cigars And Humidor Out This Week

Next year’s Lunar New Year-themed releases are arriving early

Nov 21, 2025 - by Thomas Pappalardo

Photos/Davidoff of Geneva

Saddle up and head over to your local cigar shop. Davidoff of Geneva is celebrating the 2026 Lunar New Year a bit early as the company’s Chinese zodiac-themed releases for 2026 are shipping this week. It includes not only cigars, but a humidor as well.

While last year’s Year of the Snake was made in a serpentine lonsdale format, the Year of the Horse is a bigger size which the company refers to as Toro Especial. It measures 6 1/2 inches by 55 ring gauge—a first for Davidoff—and comes in 10-count boxes with a suggested retail price of $65 per cigar. A total of 5,970 boxes have been allocated for the U.S. market.

For blending, Davidoff took inspiration from the diversity of horse breeds. The result was a blend composed entirely of “proprietary hybrid seeds,” utilizing an Ecuadoran wrapper and binder atop Dominican fillers. The leaves are also reportedly quite aged: Davidoff says the leaves tally a combined total of 43 years. In terms of strength, the cigar is intended to be a medium-bodied smoke.

For those who find the Toro Especial’s 55 ring gauge a bit too imposing, the blend also comes in a torpedo shape. The Year of the Horse Flagship Exclusive Torpedo measures 6 by 52 and retails for $89 each. Only 600 boxes of 24 cigars will be released worldwide at flagship Davidoff retail locations.

If the Toro Especial is too long, the Torpedo too thin and neither one thick enough, there’s even a third size: Gran Toro. This measures 6 by 56 and is only found in the Year of the Horse Masterpiece Humidor set. Inside are 88 Gran Toros.

The humidor features a rearing horse motif on the top lid. It was initially painted by Chinese artist Chengyu Wang before French artist Agnès Paul-Depasse brought the horse to life through a combination of hand-assembled straw marquetry for the horse. Straw marquetry involves each strand of straw to be hand selected and inspected in order to produce a high metallic sheen when assembled. Detail work for the horse’s hooves, tail and mane incorporated a total of five meters (almost 16 1/2 feet) of silk.

Limited to just 20 humidors worldwide, the Masterpiece Humidor retails for $49,000. Included with the set is a certificate of authentication.

The 2026 Year of the Horse cigars are produced in the Dominican Republic at the Cigars Davidoff factory.

Davidoff Limited Edition 2026 Year of the Horse Goes on Sale

November 20, 2025 - Charlie Minato

Today, Nov. 20, is Davidoff Year of the Horse day.

Davidoff, the Swiss company that made the Zodiac calendar-inspired cigars a common trend in the industry, is releasing its newest cigars: the 2026 version of the Year of the Horse. This is the 15th consecutive year Davidoff has created limited edition cigars for its Zodiac Series, the second time that Davidoff has released a Year of the Horse cigar; there was a Year of the Horse release in 2013.

There are actually three different new Year of the Horse cigars, each more limited than the other:

• Davidoff Limited Edition 2026 Year of the Horse (6 1/2 x 55) — $65 (Box of 10, $650) — 17,500 Boxes of 10 Cigars (175,000 Total Cigars)

• Davidoff Limited Edition 2026 Year of the Horse Flagship Exclusive Torpedo (6 x 52) — $89 (Box of 24, $2,136) — 600 Boxes of 24 Cigars (14,400 Total Cigars)

• Davidoff Limited Edition 2026 Year of the Horse Masterpiece Toro (6 x 56) — $556.82 (Humidor of 88, $49,000) — 20 Humidors of 88 Cigars (1,760 Total Cigars)

All of the cigars use the same blend: an Ecuadorian wrapper over an Ecuadorian binder and three Dominican fillers; Davidoff said the combined age of the tobacco used is 43 years.

The standard cigar, the 6 1/2 x 55 gran toro, is the one that most people will smoke. It is sold at stores worldwide and Davidoff has created 175,000 of those cigars. The 6 x 52 torpedo is only sold at Davidoff of Geneva — since 1911 flagship stores, i.e. the Davidoff-branded stores around the world. The most limited of the bunch is the 6 x 56 toro that is only sold inside of a $49,000 Masterpiece Humidor. Because only 20 humidors have been made, there will be about 100x more gran toros sold than toros.

As for the humidors themselves, each is hand-painted by Chengyu Wang and has marquetry from Agnès Paul-Depasse. Notably, the horse is created from straw and silk. Davidoff says that 5 meters of silk are used for each humidor. Davidoff says each humidor takes a full week to make.

Once again, Davidoff is offering a limited edition accessory set to accompany the cigars’ releases. Each set includes a porcelain ashtray, cigar case, Davidoff Double Blade cutter and cigar stand/collector’s coin. Each set has an MSRP of $1,888 and only 328 sets have been created. All of the included items have been sold before but without the special Year of the Horse branding.

In addition, there appears to be a Zodiac Series coin holder box that is designed to hold 12 rectangular coin medallions. Starting with last year’s release of the Year of the Snake, Davidoff has placed a removable coin in each box. The coin holder box would suggest that not only is that going to be an ongoing feature but also that Davidoff has plans for another 10 Zodiac Series releases.

Note: The following shows the various Davidoff Zodiac Series releases over the years. Some of these cigars may have been released after this post was published. The list was last updated on Feb. 13, 2025.

While this is the 15th year in a row that Davidoff has created a cigar in honor of the Chinese Zodiac calendar and its associated symbols, this is the 14th year of a worldwide Year of release from Davidoff, likely the most commercially successful limited edition cigar outside of Cuba, now generating roughly $15 million annually in retail sales. Over the years, the concept has changed slightly; for example, there are now three cigars instead of just one and last year, the company opted to put all of the accessories in a gift set as opposed to selling them individually. However, the core concept remains the same: each year, Davidoff creates a new blend for the upcoming symbol on the calendar. It’s packaged in unique boxes that use red and gold colors—and for the first time, green—which are then sold in November ahead of both the holiday season and Chinese New Year.

A half dozen of Davidoff’s competitors—including Baccarat, Elie Bleu, Maya Selva, Oliva, Plasencia, VegaFina and Villiger—have announced Year of the Horse-themed products of their own, and there will be at least another half dozen that will make future announcements.
