History

Davidoff grew from the Geneva tobacco shop of Zino Davidoff, who became one of the most famous names in luxury tobacco. The premium cigar brand, owned by Oettinger Davidoff, originally produced Cuban cigars before shifting production to the Dominican Republic in the early 1990s.

Davidoff is positioned at the luxury end of the market, known for elegant, refined blends and meticulous construction. Beyond its Dominican classics, it also produces fuller Davidoff Nicaragua and other regional lines.
