New Davidoff Selección 702 Limited Edition Cigars Offer an Unimaginable, Smooth Intensity
BASEL, April 2018. – Following the instant
and overwhelming success amongst aficionados all over the world, Davidoff
Cigars extends the popular 702 Series with the Selección 702 Limited Edition.
It is the unique 702 “Habano”
wrapper, created by the Davidoff agronomists and grown exclusively for the
brand at the Finca San Juan, in the Ecuadorian province of Cotopaxi, that has
made this cigar series a global success. The nutrient rich soil -containing ash
from the famous active volcano of the same name -and the persistent blanket of
cloud characteristic of the region, offer the perfect growing conditions that
result in the incredibly rich and intense wrapper leaves with a wonderful,
silky texture grown from the seeds.
“We are proud of
our Master Blenders. With this series, they managed to surprise and delight cigar
lovers who appreciate the play of aromatic contrasts. The proprietary Davidoff
702 wrapper combined with the signature creaminess of the Davidoff filler offers
an incredibly smooth and intense taste experience. This depth of taste calls to
be instantly loved by those who have yet the chance to discover this
exceptional cigar line”, explains Edward Simon, Head of Global Marketing &
Innovation at Oettinger Davidoff AG.
Since its launch in 2017, the
Davidoff 702 Series has received numerous excellent reviews and top ratings
from renowned international cigar press. Cigar connoisseurs and tasting
committees expressed themselves with boundless enthusiasm, and described the
702 Series as “extraordinary”.
About
the Davidoff Selección 702 Limited Edition
The Davidoff Selección 702 was the first
release wearing the proprietary Davidoff 702 “Habano” wrapper from Ecuador.
Launched in 2009, it was an immediate success across global markets and did
become a sought after collector’s item. For its 50th anniversary,
Davidoff offers to American consumers exclusively the opportunity to rediscover
this exceptional cigar, wrapped in aged 702 wrapper leaves for an even smoother
and more intense experience.
The
taste experience of the Davidoff Selección 702 Limited Edition
In the first third of the taste
journey, peppery notes are present, and even more intense in the retrohale. Complex
and rich aromas of black coffee, roasted almonds and slight notes of cocoa are paired
with aromas of bitter sweet chocolate, wood and cream.
In the second third, the cigar becomes
more intense and the woody notes are a little more present, while the overall aroma
becomes sweeter. Black coffee nuances are less bitter and gain sweetness, while
peppery notes together with the spices determine the flavour.
In the final third, the cigar
becomes much creamier, the peppery notes are softened and creamy dark coffee balances
out this limited edition cigar.
