Davidoff No. 2 – Woody and earthy
Launched in 1968, the No. 2 hails from the Dominican Republic and is amongst the very first adorned with the iconic Davidoff white band. It is also said to be the cigar of choice for founder Zino Davidoff himself.
Available in a Panatela format, this earthy and woody blend emphasises floral aromas and leaves a refined, smooth aftertaste. Together with the No. 1, it is the first premium cigar to be topped with a “˜pigtail’, said to be a hallmark of the very best craftsmanship.
