THIS IS BRAZIL. AND BEYOND.
Ten years ago, to the delight of aficionados everywhere, the very first iconic, exotic Escurio cigar took to the stage. A cigar with a rhythm all its own. Now we have revitalised that blend as only we could. Taking aged Brazilian tobacco found nowhere else on the planet and interweaving it with the mellow notes of our signature creaminess.
A smooth samba of a cigar from start to finish.
For a decade, Davidoff’s Escurio line has embodied a spirit of adventure, exploring the unique characteristics of Brazilian and Dominican tobaccos. To mark this significant milestone, Davidoff Cigars unveils a limited-edition gran toro, distinguished by an extraordinary blend of tobaccos with an impressive combined age of 45 years and a cask aged filler tobacco. This unparalleled achievement is made possible by Davidoff’s vast and meticulously curated inventory, ensuring access to aged Brazilian tobaccos that no other brand can offer.
The essence of the Escurio 10th Anniversary Limited Edition lies in its carefully selected tobaccos, shaped by the environments in which they are grown. The Bahia region of Brazil, with its humid and salty air from the sea, coupled with erratic rainfall, produces tobaccos with an intense, spicy character. In contrast, Dominican tobaccos thrive in more consistent weather, with steady fresh water sources that lend a smooth and creamy profile. This dynamic contrast forms the foundation of the cigar’s unique taste experience.
Davidoff’s tobacco inventory allows for the inclusion of exceptionally aged Brazilian tobaccos, a rarity in the cigar world. The filler blend also features a Dominican tobacco refined in a bourbon cask, imparting an additional layer of depth, complexity, and a subtle sweetness. This meticulous ageing process enhances the harmony between the robust Brazilian and creamy Dominican tobaccos, creating an intricate flavour profile that evolves with every draw.
From the first light, the Escurio 10th Anniversary Limited Edition reveals its aged complexity. It begins with creamy, toasty notes intertwined with hints of coffee, reminiscent of a cappuccino. A prolonged aftertaste, evocative of praliné, lingers on the palate with touches of vanilla bean. As the cigar progresses, dominant notes of leather emerge, seamlessly complemented by dried apricots and liquorice. The final third delivers a taste of bittersweet chocolate, almonds, and the floral sweetness of acacia honey. The generous 56 ring gauge of the gran toro format allows these distinct flavours to fully express themselves, ensuring a refined and immersive enjoyment experience.
Presented in a numbered wooden box, the 12 gran toro cigars are encased with an air of sophistication. The Escurio pattern, carefully varnished, adorns the box, while a striking colour frame and a 10th-anniversary insignia highlight the exclusivity of this release. Inside, the cigars rest beneath a smooth pergamin paper layer that echoes the Escurio design, enhancing the unboxing ritual and elevating the experience of this anniversary edition.
