- The Cigar features a Dominican puro blend of vintage tobaccos from five different terroirs in the Dominican Republic. One of the areas in one of these terroirs is no longer cultivated by Davidoff, meaning that the cigar contains tobacco that aficionados will not otherwise be able to taste. While each of the tobaccos has a considerable individual age, the combined age of all 7 tobaccos is an impressive 111 years.
- This makes the Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years the cigar with the most aged tobacco on the market. A definite must-have for aficionados who want to treat themselves to the finest and rarest of cigars.
- The new Oro Blanco is crafted by Master Roller supervisors with at least 20 years’ experience, and is only released once the Master Blenders have deemed it ready to be enjoyed. These extraordinary efforts have resulted in an extremely refined cigar with a very sweet taste profile and a full body.
- The rare blend of the Davidoff Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years is composed of tobaccos from 5 out of 15 different terroirs that Davidoff is cultivating in the Dominican Republic.
- BONAO | harvested 2006 Los Quemados is a small area inside the zone of Bonao. Davidoff does not cultivate it anymore today. The tobacco from here delivers sweet and salty notes, in particular those of dried fruits, and has a mediumlevel presence of intensity. It has never been used in a Davidoff cigar before.
- NAVARRETE | harvested 2006 The rather rocky soil In Navarrete gets naturally fertilised by organic matter. It requires a lot of irrigation water, since soil of this kind absorbs more than others. This formula combined with a slightly elevated pH value results in a tobacco that gives a sweet taste while at the same time stimulates the areas on the palate responsible for bitter sensation.
- MAO | harvested 2007 The Mao River is responsible for irrigating this entire production area that receives fewer hours of sun exposure than other zones, which leads to a thinner leaf. As a result, Mao is known for growing tobacco with a very sweet aroma. Its softer flavours with not too much intensity and a complex creaminess are owed to the fineness of the leaf.
- PILOTO | harvested 2007 This terroir is characterised by having sandy loam soils with a good proportion of clay, a slightly elevated pH and a good proportion of organic matter. The tobacco that grows here stimulates the sweet, bitter areas of the palate with its flavours of wood and roasted coffee.
- YAMASÁ | harvested 2007 The Yamasá terroir has a constant relative humidity of 78-96% during the day and also at night. This moistness of the tobacco leads to exceptional conditions in tobacco curing, since the leaf cures longer and needs attention and quality control around the clock. The tobacco that grows here creates notes of cream and pepper.
FAQ:
What makes the Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years Davidoff’s most expensive and exclusive cigar?
The new Davidoff Oro Blanco is crafted by only the most talented and experienced Davidoff torcedores. The craftsmen who roll it all have at least 20 years of experience. It is also the cigar with the oldest blend composition if you combine the age of all tobaccos.
What is the difference between Oro Blanco Special Reserve 2002 and Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years?
The main difference is that the Oro Blanco 111 Years uses tobaccos from very special terroirs that have been aged significantly – more than any other Davidoff cigar to date. The blend of the first Oro Blanco focused on tobacco from the Mao region, harvested in 2002. The Oro Blanco Reserve 111 Years also contains tobacco from Mao, but includes tobaccos from even more terroirs such as Navarrete, Piloto and Yamasá. Another novelty is the tobacco from Bonao, which has never before been used in a Davidoff cigar. Although both Oro Blancos are Dominican puros, they are completely different in taste. This is due to the fact that the tobacco in the new Oro Blanco is even older. In addition, the taste of the new Oro Blanco beautifully reflects the diversity of the terroirs in its taste experience with ever-changing and complex flavours.
How can the cigars be differentiated visually?
The new main ring has the updated name on the side and the second band matches the silver embossing of the main band.
What does 111 refer to?
Once the tobaccos for the Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years had been carefully selected and cropped, they were patiently aged from 17 to 20 years, resulting in a total of impressive 111 years.
What purpose does the cedar inlay have?
The cedar inlay provides additional protection for the cigars in the 10-ct box.
Why does the single box not have a cedar inlay?
Due to the narrow size of the box, the cedar inlay would block the sliding lid and would not be necessary to protect the cigar.
Where can consumers purchase the Oro Blanco Special Reserve 111 Years?
The new exclusive Oro Blanco 111 Years is available at Davidoff of Geneva stores and appointed merchants based on availability.
Available as single cigar or in a box of ten.
