To honour the tenth anniversary of its Escurio line, Davidoff Cigars releases a limited Gran Toro cigar (56 x 152 mm – 6″). The blend is composed of well-aged Dominican tobaccos and Brazilian Bahia tobaccos with a combined age of 45 years. This includes a filler tobacco that has been refined in a bourbon cask. The Escurio 10th Anniversary Limited Edition is Davidoff’s second edition that celebrates a significant milestone of the Black Band Collection.
In 2013, after Davidoff’s Master Blenders had ventured out into the world in search of new taste sensations outside the Dominican Republic, the brand diversified its portfolio with the launch of its Nicaragua line. It was the first Davidoff cigar carrying a black band and Davidoff’s offering to those aficionados seeking a more intense palate stimulation. In 2015, the brand launched its Escurio line with Mata Fina tobaccos from the Bahia region in Brazil and tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, to further expand its range. Released as the second line of the Davidoff Black Band Collection, Escurio also offers four cigar formats not found in any other Davidoff line: The Petit Robusto, Gran Toro, Corona Gorda and Gran Perfecto, and Robusto.
“Our large and diverse inventory facilitated the creation of this special cigar”, says Edward Simon, CMO at Oettinger Davidoff. “By adding our well-aged Brazilian tobaccos, we not only distinguish ourselves in terms of stock, but in terms of a unique taste experience where the spicy Brazilian tobaccos dynamically mingle with the creamy Dominican tobaccos. For extra depth, we have fermented one of the Dominican fillers in a bourbon cask, which gives the cigar a beautiful sweetness.”
The 12 Gran Toro cigars are presented in a wooden box with the carefully varnished Davidoff Escurio pattern. The frame reflects the striking colour of the Escurio line around the box, and a 10th anniversary sticker on the lid highlights the special occasion.
Starting 10 April 2025, the Davidoff Escurio 10th Anniversary Limited Edition will be available at select Davidoff Appointed Merchants, premium cigar retailers, and Davidoff flagship stores.
