About Davidoff

Davidoff is synonymous with luxury, quality and impeccable Swiss-Dominican craftsmanship. The story began in 1911, when Zino Davidoff’s family opened a tobacconist’s shop in Geneva after emigrating from Ukraine. Zino’s passion led him across South America and the Caribbean to learn the art of cigar-making, and in 1946 Davidoff launched its own cigars — first in Cuba, then, after 1991, in the Dominican Republic. Today the house is celebrated for innovation, meticulous tobacco selection and an unwavering commitment to refinement, appealing to connoisseurs worldwide.

Fun Facts About the Davidoff Primeros

“Primeros” reflects the idea of a first, stolen moment of escape — Davidoff markets them around the notion of pausing time for a quick, quality smoke when a full cigar isn’t an option.

Despite being small, Primeros are fully hand-made — Davidoff applies the same hand-rolling and quality standards to these little cigars as it does to its flagship vitolas.

They’re built for a roughly fifteen-minute smoke, making them one of the most convenient ways to enjoy genuine Davidoff quality on a coffee break or on the move.

No — Primeros are hand-made by Davidoff with the same care as the brand’s larger cigars, which sets them apart from ordinary machine-made cigarillos.
