Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in the house is a good omen
because it means your family will not starve. This could be taken
metaphorically to mean that a Snake could never have a problem with
his family starving because he is such a great mediator, making him
good at business. It is representative of the Snake’s character and is a measure of the value he puts on his
material wealth. The Snake is keen and cunning, quite intelligent and
wise.
Snake Years are sixth in the cycle, following the Dragon Years, and
recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a
specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact
date on which each Snake Year actually begins.
Davidoff stands for artistry, attention to detail, love and passion. Limited editions are a playground
for our master blenders to create unique and unrepeatable blends using very rare, special and aged
tobaccos. This limited edition was inspired by the year of the snake, which according to Chinese
Zodiac, begins on February 10, 2013. The Snake, like Davidoff, stands for sophistication, refinement
and elegance. The shape of the snake, box and number of cigars leverage the number 8, the most
auspicious in Chinese culture, partly due to its unique symmetry and because its pronunciation is
similar to that for “prosperity” and “fortune”. The red color is inspired by the red envelope exchange
in China to wish good fortune for the coming year. The Year of the Snake is an adventure for the
senses of all aficionados.
