Davidoff Puro d’Oro Gets New Bands and New Size
Davidoff’s Puro d’Oro line of cigars is getting both a new size and a new look in the coming weeks.
According to a story posted by Cigar Aficionado, a new 5 1/2 x 56 vitola called the Gigantes will be added to the line, with arrival at retail set for June. The entire line will abandon the gold foot band in favor of a gold band that more closely matches the rest of the Davidoff portfolio as it features the embossed Davidoff wordmark. The current bands make no mention of Davidoff but rather note the size of each cigar.
The new vitola seems to suggest that Davidoff is finally warming up to the large-ring gauge trend that has been part of the cigar industry for the past few years. Currently, the Puro d’Oro line has five cigars:
- Eminentes – 6 x 52 Toro
- Notable – 5 5/8 x 46 Corona Gorda
- Deliciosos – 4 7/8 x 43 Corona
- Magnificos – 5 1/8 x 52 Robusto
- Sublimes – 4 1/2 x 38 Petit Panetela
The Davidoff Puro d’Oro uses all Dominican tobacco with a wrapper from the Yamasá region of the country to create a stronger flavor profile than most consumers would associate with the luxury cigar brand.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
