The Davidoff Escurio Gran Toro Cigar is a masterful blend that brings an exciting and dynamic smoking experience, inspired by the rhythm and intrigue of a night in Rio de Janeiro. This large-format cigar (5 ½ inches in length with a 58-ring gauge) is expertly crafted with a balanced mix of Brazilian and Dominican tobaccos, all encased in an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that enhances its complexity. The blend incorporates Brazilian Mata Fina and Cubra leaves, known for their naturally sweet and spicy characteristics, harmonized with Dominican San Vicente, Piloto, and Olor tobaccos for depth and refinement.
From the first draw, the Escurio Gran Toro presents a unique combination of sweetness and spice, offering an intriguing balance of flavors. The initial notes are rich with dark chocolate, espresso, and a hint of saltiness, followed by a gradual evolution into deeper tones of black pepper, leather, and dried fruit. The cigar maintains a medium-to-full-bodied profile, with a dynamic transition of flavors that keeps the palate engaged. A slight citrus zest emerges in the final third, adding a refreshing contrast to the dark and earthy undertones.
The construction of the Escurio Gran Toro is flawless, with an even burn and a consistent draw that allows smokers to fully appreciate its complexity. Ideal for those who enjoy bold yet refined cigars, this Gran Toro is a perfect choice for an indulgent evening smoke, pairing exceptionally well with dark rum, aged whisky, or a rich espresso.
