The Davidoff Selección 702 was the first release to utilize the Davidoff 702 “Habano” wrapper from Ecuador. This was a limited edition cigar in 2009 . It was widely well received and become somewhat of a collector item. Last year, Davidoff launched the new 702 series which took existing blends and put the 702 wrapper on top of them.

Now, to celebrate their 50th Anniversary year, Davidoff is re-releasing the original Limited Edition cigar.
“We are proud of our Master Blenders. With this series, they managed to surprise and delight cigar lovers who appreciate the play of aromatic contrasts. The proprietary 702 wrapper combined with the signature creaminess of the Davidoff filler offers an incredibly smooth and intense taste experience” said Edward Simon, Head of Global Marketing & Innovation at Oettinger Davidoff AG.
