About Davidoff
Davidoff is Imperial's premium international cigarette brand. Imperial Tobacco had licensed the Davidoff cigarette trademark from Tchibo Holding AG since acquiring Reemtsma in 2002, then bought the worldwide Davidoff cigarette trademark outright from Tchibo in 2006 for €540 million in cash. Imperial's FY2025 accounts carry Davidoff as an owned indefinite-life intangible asset with a carrying value of £472 million, tested annually for impairment rather than amortised. Oettinger Davidoff Group separately owns the Davidoff trademark for every other tobacco product — cigars, cigarillos and pipe tobacco — so the same name covers two different owners depending on the product.
