Once in a Lifetime: Smoking a 1990 Cuban Davidoff with Eddie Sahakian | Kirby Allison

Today is a very special Live Show, Kirby Allison is sitting down with Eddie Sahakian at Davidoff of London to smoke a very unique cigar together. The Davidoff brand, created by cigar legend Zino Davidoff, was produced in Cuba until 1990. The original 1990 Cuban Davidoff is a very special cigar. Cuban officials awarded a gold medal to Davidoff cigars at the 1990 Havana exposition. Visit the Davidoff website here: http://www.davidofflondon.com/ After the Second World War, Zino Davidoff decided to acquire a license to produce his own series of cigars. As he had discerning international customers, he named the various formats of this “Château” cigar series after famous Bordeaux vineyard estates. The first in the series was the “Château Latour” in 1946. Then, in 1968, the first cigars carrying the name “Davidoff” were released. The first formats were the No. 1, the No. 2 and the Ambassadrice. Skipping ahead to 1990, after discontinuing Cuban-made products, Davidoff started to produce cigars in the Dominican Republic. After numerous test runs, Zino Davidoff found a partner in the local producer “Tabadom”, owned by Hendrik Kelner. Which, to this day, is the family supplier who provides the tobacco for the Davidoff of London cigars.
