Davidoff’s Maduro line, which they launched in 2008 and, to the dismay of many, was discontinued in 2018. Now, six years later, they announced the return of the line. The Davidoff Maduro Robusto is a remarkably nuanced smoke with a deep flavor profile that is bold and intense at the same time.
The start of the Maduro Robusto is characterized by sweetness, dark chocolate notes and an overarching creaminess. Nuts and dried fruits conclude the first third. Later, sweet flavors of honey are complemented by black pepper and oak wood. Roasted nuts, earth and chili pepper conclude the smoking experience.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
