US: Davidoff Maxamar Ultimate Cigars 15th Anniversary

Source from:  halfwheel.com 04/24/2017

Davidoff of Geneva USA has a phrase that has become a staple in its relationship with its appointed merchants: we are your trusted retail partner. Attend a Golden Band Awards ceremony held during the annual IPCPR Convention & Trade Show and you’re bound to hear it several times.

In 2014, the company used that phrase to announce a new program of creating limited edition cigars celebrating milestone anniversaries of its appointed merchants, namely those that end in 0s and 5s. This year, six stores received such cigars, as well as the seven Davidoff of Geneva — since 1911 flagship stores around the country, making for a release of 13 new cigars that all share similar components yet have a unique blend chosen by the retailer.

These cigars are all blended with an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, Mexican San Andrés negro binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Additionally, all come in a 6 x 50 toro vitola. That being said, while some of the cigars are certainly the same, there are variations between the percentages and exact types of tobacco used between at least some of the cigars.

One of the stores getting a limited edition was Maxamar Ultimate Cigars in Orange, Calif., in celebration of its 15th Anniversary. As noted above, the specific blend and profile was picked by the store from five options that Davidoff made available, with the white lacquered box bearing the store’s name and each cigar wearing a secondary band that reads "Anniversary 2016."

The store received 900 boxes of the cigar, which is priced at $22 per cigar and $220 per box. It was officially released on March 7, 2017. Enditem
