Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Davidoff Aniversario, and why was it created?
The Davidoff Aniversario line was introduced in 1986 to mark Zino Davidoff's 80th birthday. Originally made with Cuban tobacco, the blend was reformulated when production moved to the Dominican Republic in 1991. It has been a cornerstone of the Davidoff white label portfolio ever since.
What is the Davidoff Aniversario made of?
The Davidoff Aniversario uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican filler tobaccos — primarily Piloto and San Vicente leaves aged up to five years. It's produced at Cigars Davidoff in the Dominican Republic.
How strong is the Davidoff Aniversario?
The Aniversario is mild to medium-bodied. It sits slightly fuller than the Grand Cru, with more depth and body, but remains well within approachable territory for most smokers.
What flavors does the Davidoff Aniversario deliver?
Cream, cedar, almonds, and a subtle white pepper finish. Some sizes — particularly the longer Double R — develop caramel and light spice as the cigar progresses. The profile is clean and consistent, without sharp transitions.
What sizes does Renegade Cigars carry for the Davidoff Aniversario, and what do they cost?
We carry: Entreacto (3 1/2x43) at $14.40, Short Perfecto (4 7/8x52) at $24.50, Special R (4 7/8x50) at $28.10, Special R Tubo at $28.80, No.3 (6x50) at $34.90, No.3 Tubo at $35.70, Special T (6x52) at $32.90, and Double R (7 1/2x50) at $46.80. Multi-packs and full boxes are also available.
What is the Special R format in the Davidoff Aniversario line?
The Special R (4 7/8x50) is a shorter, wider robusto-style vitola and one of the most popular sizes in the Aniversario line. The wider ring gauge draws more of the cream and nut character out of the Dominican fillers. It's also available in a tubo for added freshness.
How does the Davidoff Aniversario compare to the Davidoff Yamasa?
They represent opposite ends of the Davidoff portfolio. The Aniversario is a white label cigar — mild to medium, Connecticut wrapper, cream and cedar forward. The Yamasa is a black label cigar, medium to full, built around bold Dominican-grown Yamasa tobacco and Nicaraguan filler. If the Aniversario is a morning smoke, the Yamasa is for the afternoon when you want more weight.
Is the Davidoff Aniversario worth the price?
The Aniversario runs $14 to $47 per cigar depending on size, which puts it firmly in the upper tier. What you're paying for is consistent rolling quality, aged Dominican tobacco, and the kind of reliable, smooth experience that Davidoff has built its reputation on since moving production to the DR in 1991.
