Davidoff Royal Release Cigars
Davidoff Royal Release cigars from our walk-in humidor in Yuma, Arizona: the 5½ x 55 Robusto and the 8¼ x 57 Salomones. Royal Release is a limited Davidoff project, released in October 2016, whose tobacco is grown on special plots and aged at least eight years in The Royal Barn, apart from the rest of Davidoff's tobacco. Davidoff says the project took about a decade to develop. Each size comes ten to a blue lacquered box that converts into a removable ashtray, with a certificate hand-signed by the master rollers. Choose a single, a 5-pack or a box of 10 on each product page.

The Royal Barn is where Davidoff cures and ages Royal Release tobacco on its own, kept separate from every other Davidoff leaf. As listed in October 2026, the Salomones, an 8¼-inch salomón figurado, is the highest-priced single cigar we list, and it leads our most expensive cigars guide.

Ratings and recognition
Salomones, 8¼ x 57: No. 20 on halfwheel's Top 25 for 2016, the year the line arrived. Davidoff rates it 3 of 5 on its intensity scale.
Robusto, 5½ x 55: the same blend, aging and lacquered box in a 5½ x 55 robusto.
Choosing one
- For the occasion: the Salomones, the figurado, by the single or in its lacquered box of 10.
- The same blend, shorter: the Robusto, 5½ x 55.
- As a gift: either box of 10, which becomes an ashtray and carries the master rollers' signed certificate.
What to pour with Davidoff Royal Release
We found no Davidoff pairing for Royal Release, so this is our house suggestion. Our cigar and whiskey pairing guide keeps a simple house rule: mild with mild, medium with medium, full with full. With the Salomones at 3 of Davidoff's 5, that points to a medium-weight pour that leaves room for the cigar, such as a cognac or a single malt Scotch. In the lounge, ask the bar for a pour from the spirits menu.
Keeping them fresh
Store them at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity, in a humidor or a sealed bag with a two-way humidity pack. Every order ships with a Boveda humidity pack, and our cigar storage guide covers the rest.
