Davidoff Cigars ignites a new chapter for Maduro enthusiasts with a limited-release line, Davidoff Maduro. This full-bodied yet approachable smoke delivers a nuanced flavour profile, exceeding the brand's 2008 offering.

This limited release refines and redefines what a Maduro is and what a Maduro can be. Exquisitely dressed in a dark Ecuadorian wrapper from the Corte #7 grade which accounts for almost half of the overall aroma. This leaf grows on the upper part of the tobacco part, therefore a thicker structure which requires more time to ferment naturally. With 16 months of fermentation and 2 years of ageing, it results in a truly beautiful cigar which is sweeter and more sophisticated.

This Short Corona is packed full of flavour, characterized by a dominating sweetness, heralded by deeper notes of dark chocolate, honeyed notes and an underlying creaminess. Finished with a nutty and earthy nuance and laced with a pepper spiciness towards the last third. The perfect afternoon enjoyment with a cup of Lapsang Souchong tea, with its smoky notes for a heterogenous pairing!
