The Art of Craftsmanship: Inside the Making of the Davidoff Iconic Leather Cigar Cases
Few accessories embody quiet sophistication like the Davidoff Iconic XL-2 and XL-3 Leather Cigar Cases. Handmade in Spain from the world’s finest leathers, these pieces are more than protective companions for cigars—they are reflections of a refined lifestyle rooted in craftsmanship, heritage, and the pursuit of perfection.
A Modern Expression of Quiet Luxury
Davidoff’s Iconic Collection was conceived with one purpose: to reimagine the cigar case for the modern connoisseur. Each case is designed to blend timeless design with functionality, embodying what Davidoff calls quiet luxury—confidence expressed through restraint.
The cases are available in three distinguished colors—navy blue, Bordeaux red, and light brown—each with a rich brown interior. Their minimalist, one-tone aesthetic is elevated by a subtle gold Davidoff clasp, engraved with the brand’s signature and applied by hand. The result is a balance of subtlety and elegance that speaks without saying a word.
At The Tobacconist of Greenwich, these cases join the curated selection of Davidoff accessories that complement the brand’s most distinguished cigars, including the Davidoff Winston Churchill, Aniversario, and Signature series.
Shaped by Hand, Perfected by Time
The story of each Davidoff Iconic Leather Cigar Case begins in Ubrique, Spain—a region celebrated for its centuries-old leatherworking tradition. Here, Davidoff collaborates with one of the country’s most renowned leather ateliers, where artisans transform the raw beauty of natural hides into functional works of art.
Each case begins with the careful selection of premium cowhide and lamb chamois leather, chosen for its flexibility, durability, and refined grain. The leather undergoes vegetable tanning, a slow, eco-conscious process that enhances texture and longevity while preserving the natural aroma of the material.
Once prepared, artisans cut two pieces—one for the outer cowhide shell and one for the inner chamois lining—before stitching them together using one-tone colored thread for a seamless, minimalist appearance. The leather is then soaked, softened, and shaped by hand over wooden molds. Multiple precise strikes with specialized tools give the case its final contours before it is left to dry for several days, ensuring structural integrity and a flawless form.
After drying, each piece is polished, its edges sealed, and the signature golden Davidoff clasp carefully applied. Every case undergoes a detailed quality inspection to meet Davidoff’s exacting standards before it earns its place in the brand’s portfolio.
Designed for the Discerning Aficionado
Both the XL-2 and XL-3 models are adjustable in length and designed to accommodate cigars up to ring gauge 60, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of size or shape. Whether carrying two cigars in the XL-2 or three in the XL-3, the case protects and preserves its contents with precision—keeping cigars fresh for up to ten days.
This thoughtful engineering makes them ideal companions for travel or evenings out, allowing enthusiasts to carry their Davidoff Nicaragua, Davidoff Grand Cru, or even Fuente Fuente Opus X cigars in a statement of understated elegance.
Lightweight and balanced, the XL-2 weighs just 0.078 kg, while the XL-3 measures 0.115 kg—substantial enough to feel luxurious in hand, yet effortlessly portable.
An Icon of Refinement
The Davidoff Iconic Leather Cigar Cases are not merely accessories—they are an embodiment of time beautifully filled. Every curve, seam, and detail speaks to Davidoff’s philosophy of refined living and excellence without excess.
In the hands of their owners, they carry more than cigars; they carry intention, heritage, and a quiet appreciation for the finer things. For the modern aficionado, these pieces complete the ritual of cigar enjoyment with sophistication that endures for a lifetime.
At The Tobacconist of Greenwich, the Davidoff Iconic XL-2 and XL-3 Leather Cigar Cases join a curated portfolio of luxury cigar accessories designed to complement the world’s finest cigars. Together, they represent a shared devotion to artistry, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of perfection.
