On April 4, 2017, YRB attended an event to announce the Davidoff Chefs Edition cigar — the result of Davidoff Master Blenders collaborating with six of the world’s top chefs.
The event was hosted by Davidoff’s Global CEO, Hans-Kristian Hoejsgaard and took place at their flagship lounge located at Brookfield Place in New York City.
The featured cigar was the Chef’s Edition, which is a 6″ x 54 toro with a Habano 2000 wrapper, Ecuador Connecticut binder and a filler blend of San Vicente Mejorado Seco, San Vicente Mejorado Viso, Piloto Viso, and San Vicente Viso.
It is a very limited edition, with only 5,000 boxes available worldwide.
The cigar was paired with Camus Cognac, the Camus XO Elegance and Camus Borderies XO and food served from Le District.
The cigar is a collaboration between Davidoff of Geneva’s master blenders and six of the world’s most renowned chefs:
Peter Knogl, Cheval Blanc of Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois (Basel, Switzerland)
Renato Wüst of Bad Ragaz Grand Resort (Switzerland)
Ali Güngörmüs, of Le Canard HH Pageou (Münich, Germany)
