Davidoff Grand Cru Diademas Finas Limited Edition Cigar – Box of 10

In 1946, Zino Davidoff designed a line of cigars inspired by the world of wine. The blend would be selected depending on the soil and the climate in which the tobacco grew, and just as red wine blends three different main grapes, these cigars would feature three different fillers. The line we know as Davidoff Grand Cru today has its origins in this wine-cigar analogy. Davidoff’s Grand Cru Diademas Finas Limited Edition Collection cigar is the brand’s first Grand Cru figurado format and features a filler tobacco that was aged in a Premier Grand Cru Classé red wine cask. Davidoff’s Master Blenders included a wine cask aged Dominican San Vicente tobacco in the filler, a finer leaf that can absorb more of the cask’s aroma and thus help the cigar resemble the fruity character of a well-aged red wine with its main aromas – a combination that rolls around in the mouth like wine being swirled in a glass. The exceptional experience begins with pronounced citrus notes. As the filler tobaccos become more prominent, the taste evolves towards pepper and roasted nuts. Creamy notes add to the remarkable balance of the cigar. In the second third, the wine cask aged Domincan San Vicente seco comes to the fore. Aromas of dark cherries dominate and are complemented by oak wood and earth. The grand finale of the Diademas Finas is characterised by pronounced notes of walnut and an increase in intensity. Additional flavours of fresh spice and vanilla add the finishing touches to a truly Grand Cru experience.
