About Davidoff Café
Tchibo makes and sells Davidoff coffee under licence from the Swiss company that owns the name for tobacco and fragrance. It is positioned as a premium coffee in Germany and eastern Europe. The arrangement means the coffee and the cigars carry the same name but are made by entirely separate companies with no common ownership.
