Description and price of Davidoff coffee

Origin of the brand

The history of the brand goes back more than a hundred years: the company, which at that time had a much narrower specialization, began its existence in 1912. The Davidoff brand was founded by Zinovy ​​Davydov, who was born in Kyiv, and subsequently emigrated with his family to Geneva and soon changed his first and last name to Zino Davidoff.

Brand founder Zino Davidoff

His father was engaged in the sale of tobacco and cigarettes of various types. Zino Davidoff followed in his footsteps: he traveled to South America, where he studied technologies for growing various varieties of tobacco. After this, Zino went to Cuba, where he stayed for 5 years and became an expert in the tobacco business. Returning home to Switzerland in 1929, he took over the family business after the death of his father.

In 1946, the company released the first branded line of Davidoff cigars, which conquered not only Europe but also America with their quality. In the 1980s, Zino Davidoff began producing luxury goods such as perfume, cognac, glasses, watches, and writing instruments. Since the 1990s, the company began producing coffee from selected Arabica beans.

Today the owner is Tchibo Company

After Zino's death in 1994, the Davidoff tobacco and coffee brands were acquired from his heirs by the German company Tchibo. Now coffee is produced by this coffee magnate under license in Germany and some other European countries.
