Accessorize With Davidoff
Davidoff has introduced an exclusive limited edition range of accessories to cele-
brate the Chinese Year of the Sheep, and to complement the recently introduced
limited edition Year of the Sheep Cigars. The line includes an elegant porcelain
ashtray designed by Chinese designer Chen Jiang, prestige lighters and unique
custom-made scissors.
These elements reflect the very qualities that those born under the sign of the
Sheep possess. Belonging to the element of wood, the Sheep is a craftsman, art-
ist and devotee of beauty who fashions a world of harmony and aesthetic plea-
sure; for in the Sheep’s eyes, happiness is other people’s happiness. All these
limited edition accessories celebrate the personality of this distinctive sign.
“The zodiac sign of the Sheep has many common values with Davidoff,” says
Charles Awad, senior vice president of marketing and innovation for Oettinger
Davidoff AG. “The appreciation for craftsmanship and the sense of refinement
and style, which brings joy to others, are at the heart of everything Davidoff
believes in.”
Year of the Sheep–Davidoff Porcelain Ashtray
Davidoff sought out the Chinese designer Chen Jiang
to come up with a concept for a new collection of Chi-
nese celebration and occidental luxury. Like any crafts-
man in any discipline at Davidoff, it is the time that Chen
Jiang has invested in his art—18 years in the fields of
design research, furniture and lighting for prestigious
international brands—that makes his work special.
This oversize Davidoff porcelain ashtray is made in Li-
moges, the heart of the French porcelain industry, and delicately decorated with
a mix of 12-percent gold, gray and red colors, along with twisted and tapered
surfaces that evoke the horns of the Sheep.
Year of the Sheep—Davidoff Prestige Lighters
The base of Davidoff’s new prestige lighters is made of one
piece of brass and the tank is part of the lighter’s body, ensuring
that there are no leaks or plastic tank. The brass is cut into the
exact shape of the lighter and the lid is split up from the body,
ensuring a perfect fit and unique match. The lighters are available
in palladium with a design of horizontal lines, or in a gilded finish
with an accolade design. They arrive in an elegant red pouch im-
maculately tailored with the Year of the Sheep design.
Year of the Sheep—Davidoff Special Edition Scissors
Finally, the Davidoff Special Edition Scissors are
forged from stainless steel and gold-plated, then
decorated with a stylish laser marking inspired by
the Year of the Sheep. The large blades can be used
to cut cigars with a head gauge of up to 23mm by
58-ring-gauge not just with ease, but with precision.

The Art of the Humidor
Each of these four handmade mirror hu-
midors by Daniel Clément is a piece of art,
made of marqueterie de verre. The motifs
have been created exclusively by the art-
ist and will never be replicated. In creat-
ing them, Daniel Clement was inspired by
the mirror marqueterie of Miami, mixing
geometric shape and colors. Each of the
tiniest pieces of glass were meticulously
cut and assembled—a craft that requires
exceptional thoroughness, creativity and
time.
The inside of the humidors are var-
nished okoumé wood, specially chosen
to preserve the individual flavor of each
cigar. Every Davidoff humidor is equipped
with a self-regulating system. This unique
development creates or absorbs humidity
as required and automatically guarantees
the consistent quality of the cigars that it
protects. The humidors have a capacity
of between 190 and 250 cigars. Davidoff,
