NICARAGUA
In the pioneering spirit of Zino Davidoff, Davidoff Master Blenders sought out a new blend that would stimulate both bitter and sweet taste buds. They finally found it in Nicaragua, where the earth is infused by the fiery activity of volcanoes.
10th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION - Limited to 14,585 Boxes worldwide!
2013 was an important year for the Davidoff brand, as it marked the introduction of the very first Davidoff cigar carrying a Black Band – Davidoff Nicaragua.
Complementing the elegant White Band Collection, the newly born Black Band Collection targeted a more dynamic and adventurous clientele looking for unknown flavours and a more intense palate stimulation. This has remained the same until today, with the joining of the Escurio and Yamasá lines in 2015 and 2016 respectively, which diversified the Black Band portfolio even further.
This year, Davidoff celebrates the Nicaragua line’s ten-year anniversary by releasing a special limited-edition cigar!
To please aficionados who are in search of new taste sensations, Davidoff’s Master Blenders composed the limited- edition gran toro cigar with a selection of tobaccos of a total age of 45 years, which they never combined in one blend before.
Another novelty for Davidoff is the rum cask aged Estelí seco tobacco: It creates a depth which is unprecedented for Davidoff Nicaragua – a palate stimulation on a new level.
The 12 gran toro cigars come in a wooden box which displays the carefully varnished Nicaragua pattern. The frame reflects the striking colour of the Nicaragua line around the box, and a 10th anniversary sticker on the lid highlights the special occasion.
This is unchartered taste territory. This is the highest these uncommon and intense ingredients can reach - THIS IS PEAK NICARAGUA
The full-bodied gran toro cigar with its thrilling flavours of roasted nuts, oak wood and black coffee meets the needs of the Progressive Explorer perfectly.
1/3:
The gran toro initially delights with complex flavours of nuts. It's Nicaraguan filler tobaccos add notes of fresh spice and leather. Due to the tobaccos remarkable age, a noticeable balance characteries the whole experience.
2/3:
The spicier stimulation slowly fades as the cigar evolves towards more intense notes of oak wood, milk coffee and an intriguing eucalyptus taste. During this development, the gran toro maintains its full body beautifully
3/3:
As the cigar comes to its close, its intensity increases once again, and the previous milk coffee notes evolve into those of black coffee. Aromas of fresh herbs join the ever-present toasting flavours of the masterpiece
