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 fiery activity of volcanoes infuses the earth.
10th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION - Limited to 14,585 Boxes worldwide!
2013 was an important year for the Davidoff brand, as it introduced 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, further diversifying the Black Band portfolio.
This year, Davidoff celebrates the Nicaragua line’s tenth anniversary by releasing a special limited-edition cigar!
To please aficionados searching for 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 unprecedented for Davidoff Nicaragua – a palate stimulation on a new level.
The 12 gran toro cigars come in a wooden box that 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 perfectly meets the Progressive Explorer's needs with its thrilling roasted nuts, oak wood, and black coffee flavours.
1/3:
The gran toro initially delights with complex flavours of nuts. Its Nicaraguan filler tobaccos add notes of fresh spice and leather. Due to the tobacco's 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 ends, its intensity increases again, and the previous milk coffee notes evolve into black coffee. Aromas of fresh herbs join the ever-present toasting flavours of the masterpiece.
