In advance of hopping into 2023, known in the Chinese zodiac calendar as the Year of the Rabbit, Davidoff of Geneva is releasing a cigar and humidor for the occasion early. Retailers can start expecting them by November 17.
Topped with a tightly coiled pigtail, the Year of the Rabbit is a Perfecto measuring 5 15/16 inches long by 54 ring gauge.

The limited-edition smoke will have a suggested retail price of $50 each. Only 6,500 red boxes of 10 Perfectos will be designated for the U.S. market. The cigars are made in the Dominican Republic at the Cigars Davidoff factory.
To further the lunar calendar celebration, a Year of the Rabbit Masterpiece Humidor will be released later this month as well.Designed by French artist Rose Saneuil, the box is manufactured in France by Moevus and features a striking red marquetry rabbit on the lid, an intricate inlay composed of wood and tobacco leaf. The exterior of the humidor is made of walnut while the interior consists of anigre wood. The humidor measures 22.32 inches wide by 14.64 inches deep by 5.55 inches tall and contains 88 Year of the Rabbit Gran Toros, which measure 6 by 56 but have the same blend as the Perfecto.
