DAVIDOFF YEAR OF THE DRAGON LIMITED EDITION 2024

How to Enjoy Your Davidoff Year of the Dragon

THE CUT

Unlike a conventional cigar, the Year of the Dragon features an uncut foot. Do not cut the foot. Simply remove the foot band carefully and prepare the head with a premium double-guillotine cutter.

THE LIGHT

Begin by gently toasting the exposed foot using a butane lighter or cedar spill. Rotate the cigar slowly to achieve an even light and allow the unwrapped tobacco to reveal its initial character.

THE DRAW

Take slow, relaxed draws every 45–60 seconds. As the wrapper begins to burn, notice the transition from the earthy and woody opening into richer notes of cream, roasted nuts, honey, dark chocolate, and spice.

THE ASH

Allow the ash to develop naturally and avoid excessive tapping. The long format benefits from a slow, controlled pace to maintain an even temperature.

Storing Your Cuban Cigars

Proper storage is essential to preserving the quality, flavor, and longevity of your Cuban cigars. Follow these guidelines to ensure your Cohiba Siglo I remains in perfect condition.

IDEAL CONDITIONS
○ Humidity: 65 – 70% relative humidity
○ Temperature: 16 – 18°C (60 – 65°F)

Too dry — the cigar will crack, lose aroma, and burn unevenly.
Too humid — the cigar may develop mold and become difficult to draw.

USE A HUMIDOR
A Spanish cedar humidor is the gold standard for cigar storage. Cedar naturally regulates moisture and imparts a subtle aroma that enhances the complexity of your cigars over time.

IN INDONESIA’S TROPICAL CLIMATE
Indonesia’s heat and humidity require extra care. We strongly recommend:
○ Storing cigars in a properly seasoned cedar humidor
○ Placing your humidor in an air-conditioned room
○ Using a calibrated hygrometer to monitor humidity levels consistently

WHAT TO AVOID
○ Do not store cigars in the refrigerator without a proper humidification system
○ Keep away from strong odors — tobacco absorbs surrounding scents easily
○ Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources
○ Never store in sealed plastic bags for extended periods

REST YOUR CIGARS
If your cigars have just been delivered, allow them to rest in your humidor for at least 48 – 72 hours before smoking. This allows them to acclimate to their new environment and reach optimal condition.
