99call Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 Interesting evolution of the "Les 5 Château de Davidoff". Here is the original Hoyo version, before the more complete Davidoff branding had been formulated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Does this mean that Davidoff Cubans were essentially Hoyo de Monterrey blends? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his heart I think Zino was a business man, and was often focused on the door of least resistance. draw from that what you will. I think @ATGroom or @Ryan would be best answering this question 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ryan Posted June 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2023 7 hours ago, Wookie said: Does this mean that Davidoff Cubans were essentially Hoyo de Monterrey blends? The Chateau series yes. Produced under license for Davidoff by Hoyo de Monterrey from 1946. Davidoff himself said 1945. He may have had some hand in the blending. The No.1, No. 2 and Ambassadrice were created between 1967 and 1969 and rolled in El Laguito. The "Mille Series", (1000s, 2000s), came in the mid-70s, maybe 1976. The Chateau Series came under the brand name Davidoff (rather than Hoyo de Monterrey for Davidoff) starting in about 1975. The Yquem was discontinued in 1982 and replaced by the Mouton Rothschild in 1983. Then they all went away between 1989 and 1991. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
