Davidoff marks the Year of the Sheep with the third release of its new global cycle dedicated to the Chinese zodiac. Since introducing the very first zodiac-inspired limited edition in 2012, Davidoff has given aficionados around the world a new reason each year to pause, gather and fill their time beautifully. For 2027, that invitation takes its most poised shape yet: for the first time in the history of these editions, all three cigar formats are figurados, each in tribute to the curved shape of a sheep’s horn.
Javier González, SVP Head Global Marketing & Innovation at Oettinger Davidoff, says: “Every Davidoff cigar is created to fill our aficionados’ time beautifully, and our blend dedicated to the Year of the Sheep does so with a rare gentleness. Bringing three figurado formats to life is both a statement of our craftsmanship and a tribute to the harmony this zodiac sign represents.”
The Year of the Sheep Limited Edition 2027 piramides curve echoes the graceful line of a sheep’s horn, and its blend reflects the quiet character of the zodiac sign. Delicate floral aromas recall open fields where sheep graze, while the lighter-hued Ecuador wrapper is reminiscent of the coat of certain sheep breeds. Inside, Dominican tobaccos lend elegance and floral complexity, harmonized with Nicaraguan tobaccos, which bring body, mineral richness and depth. As with every Davidoff figurado, each piramides is rolled by master rollers with a minimum of fifteen years of experience, who distribute the filler with absolute precision from foot to head to guarantee a perfect draw.
The experience unfolds in three distinct movements, opening on cream, moving into dark chocolate, and closing on caramel, a journey as composed and harmonious as the zodiac sign that inspired it. It measures 6 3/4 x 52 and has an MSRP of $62 per cigar.
Packaging design in harmony with the Sheep The Limited Edition is presented in a ten-count box of dark-toned solid wood with a red outer box, an auspicious colour in Chinese culture. The design also incorporates purple, the Sheep’s lucky colour. Inside, a wool-like fabric lines the panels, evoking the softness of a sheep’s coat beneath an embossed Year of the Sheep pattern. A removable cover with a see-through cut-out reveals the cigars beneath, finished with purple handles and golden accents, while a round icon inspired by a ball of wool, and by the full moon of Lunar New Year, marks each box. Every cigar carries a second band featuring purple accents.
This edition is limited to 17,500 boxes worldwide. A numbered collector’s coin accompanies the Limited Edition, gathered in an elegant wooden Coin Collector’s box offered as a gift with purchase, allowing aficionados to build their own collection year after year.
Year of the Sheep Flagship Exclusive 2027 – gran perfecto For the esteemed customers of the Davidoff of Geneva since 1911 flagship stores, Davidoff introduces a shape found nowhere else in its current portfolio, and nowhere else within this year’s collection. Sharing its blend with the piramides, the gran perfecto offers a more adventurous path to the same character: its distinctive form means wrapper and binder speak first, with the filler’s depth arriving only later, a slower reveal for those willing to wait for it. The Gran Perfecto measures 6 x 61 and has an MSRP of $89 per cigar.
Presented in a box of twenty-four cigars echoing the Limited Edition’s design, this edition includes its own numbered coin for the Coin Collector’s box. Each gran perfecto also carries a second band with purple accents. Limited to 850 pieces worldwide, this edition is available exclusively in Davidoff of Geneva since 1911 flagship stores.
Year of the Sheep Masterpiece Humidor with 88 gran torpedo cigars The Year of the Sheep Masterpiece Humidor unites two artists in a single object. Chinese illustrator Jane Liu designed the artwork – purple for prosperity, clouds for calm, a sun for vitality – while French textile artist Clémentine Brandibas translated it into embroidery on silk satin, combining nué goldwork and Boulogne stitch in threads finer than a quarter of a millimetre, over more than one hundred hours and eleven types of thread per piece. Made by hand in France it is equipped with four Davidoff Slim Regulators that hold humidity steady between 70 and 72 %, so each of its 88 cigars stays in perfect condition and ready to enjoy for years to come. It is finished with a personalization plate and is numbered to only twelve pieces worldwide.
Each of the twelve humidors holds 88 gran-torpedo cigars, blended and rolled exclusively for this Masterpiece. They share the blend of the piramides and gran perfecto, with the same notes of cream, dark chocolate and caramel. Like the other two formats, each cigar wears a second band with purple accents, and 88 is considered the luckiest of numbers in Chinese culture. These cigars measure 6 x 56 and have an MSRP of $49,000 per humidor.
Curated accessories for the ritual: ashtray and double-blade cutter. Two accessories, each limited and sold individually, complete the collection for those who wish to mark the occasion beyond the cigar itself.
The Year of the Sheep Porcelain Ashtray introduces an exclusively developed shape, with sculpted, horn-like edges that are inspired by a sheep’s horn. It is finished with a gold-foiled, hand-applied Year of the Sheep pattern and Davidoff logo. Two integrated cigar rests bring everyday function to its refined form. Crafted in a renowned atelier in Limoges, recognised as an Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant for the excellence of its traditional craftsmanship, each piece is numbered by hand and limited to 288 worldwide.
The Year of the Sheep Double Blade Cutter is finished in glossy gold with laser-engraved zodiac detailing and delivered in a red cowhide leather pouch. Sized generously for ring gauges up to 60, it suits every shape in the collection, and its integrated spring system locks the blades securely when not in use. Made in Germany from high-quality stainless steel, each cutter is laser-numbered and limited to 388 pieces worldwide.
All of these products will be available worldwide starting on November 19th, 2026 at select Davidoff appointed merchants and flagship stores around the world.
