When Zino Davidoff introduced his Dominican-made line in late 1990, there were four styles: the Classic, the Thousand Series, Grand Cru and Special. And for many years, that was it.
Not any more!. At its company-wide sales meeting held in the Dominican Republic last week, Davidoff unveiled a brand new line to be called the Davidoff Puro d’Oro (“pure gold”), the company’s first all-Dominican cigar. It will feature a special wrapper grown specially for this line and it will be fully introduced later this year.
It’s the third addition to the Davidoff line since 1990. The popular Millennium Series debuted in 2001 and the Davidoff Maduro line was introduced last year. Now comes the Puro d’Oro, giving Davidoff lovers seven choices of blends wearing the familiar white label.
This sounds great! Any new davidoff product is bound to get me excited!

“Our number one priority is to offer our customers the finest cigar in the world,” said Davidoff U.S.A. president Peter Banninger. “The Puro d’Oro product has not yet met our expectations and reached Davidoff’s high standard of premium quality and excellence.
“We are confident that Davidoff will be prepared to introduce Puro d’Oro in Spring 2010.”
The all-Dominican Davidoff, featuring a specially-grown wrapper, was scheduled to debut in June of 2009, just ahead of the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association convention and trade show in New Orleans in August. The blend, whose name means “pure gold,” was announced to the Davidoff sales staff at the national sales meeting in the Dominican Republic in January.
When introduced, it will be the eighth Davidoff blend, after the Aniversario, Classic, Grand Cru, Special Series, Thousand Series (the five original, Dominican-made lines that debuted in 1990), Millenium Blend (2001) and Maduro (2008).”
