Davidoff Nicaragua 10th Anniversary Limited Edition

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Davidoff Nicaragua line, Davidoff released a special limited edition cigar with a unique focus on the aging process of its tobaccos. The wrapper, binder, and filler tobaccos collectively boast 45 years of aging—a rare kind of age declaration in the cigar world. Notably, one of the Estelí-grown seco leaves used in the filler undergoes an extra step: it’s aged for six months in rum barrels, marking the first time Davidoff has experimented with this method. The result, according to the company, is a cigar with enhanced depth and complexity.

While the core Nicaragua line includes a variety of sizes—from a compact 3 3/4 x 46 short corona to a hefty 6 x 60 gordo—this anniversary edition comes exclusively in a 6 x 56 toro gordo format. Upon lighting, the cigar opens with a smooth, medium-bodied flavor profile featuring creamy notes, hints of wood and nuts, subtle pepper, and even a touch of root beer-like sweetness. One of the samples revealed a sharper black pepper note. As the smoke progresses through the first inch, the flavors of earth and spice gradually build, leading to a more intense and layered experience after the first ash drop.
