When the white band closes around a cigar it is the last act of a ritual of Caribbean passion and Swiss precision. The full stop at the end of the most beautifully constructed sentence. For Davidoff White Band cigars are not as others.
The way they are imagined, the way they are created, the way they are crafted, the way they are checked and checked and checked, the way they are … made.
They are simply different in so many ways.

Because every hand that touches them on their journey carries a unique knowledge, artistry and skill.
From those who prepare the land from which they rise to those who finally decide whether a cigar is White Band enough to be allowed to leave.
Every single step makes a difference. Every single step is made for one purpose: Time Beautifully Filled.
A wider world of flavours, which comes from the infinite possibilities of our seed banks and the boundless archive of tobaccos we can blend from.
The potential is endless, as is the pleasure.
For the many things which make our cigars exquisitely different are also countless. Countless and yet they can all be held inside a circle only a few millimetres wide. A simple white band.

What makes the Signature, Grand Cru, Aniversario and Millennium lines so different is the fact that they are all blended out of the same three main tobaccos (Olor Dominicano, Dominican San Vicente and Dominican Piloto) that were picked at different grades and also appear in different ratios in the blends.
This means each line delivers its own unique intense combination of aromas. A commonality is that they all stimulate all areas of the palate evenly.
