Brand Overview - Davidoff Grand Cru


Davidoff’s world-renowned attention to detail and craftsmanship is a staple to their brand and even more apparent in their Grand Cru Series. Available in a variety of different sizes and in boxes of either 5 or 25 cigars the Grand Cru offers enthusiast a luxurious product, hand rolled to resemble some of the late Zino Davidoff’s finest work. The Grand Cru dawns an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and uses the finest tobaccos from the Dominican Republic to craft the cigars delicate binders and fillers.

Initially the Grand Cru is pleasing to the eye, with tones of caramel and golden brown being the highlights of this perfectly hand rolled single wrapped cigar. Davidoff’s meticulous 72 point inspections, some of the most notable in the cigar industry become apparent here and are only highlighted as the smoking experience begins. The cigar, perfect in appearance had seemingly no creases, a feat not many rollers can achieve.

Before lighting such a luxurious tobacco many aficionados prefer a smaller punch in the Grand Cru’s cap opposed to the standard straight cut, in hopes to maximize and prolong the magnificent experience. Upon smoking the Grand Cru provides smokers with a flavor that is both intense and smooth. Creamy tastes intrigue the palate throughout the cigar while hints of spice keep things interesting and complex. As the Grand Cru continues to burn, earthy notes and sweet flavors of work together to create an experience truly like no other that should be sought out by cigar lovers world wide. The Grand Cru achieves what many cigars can not in being both complex and smooth from start to finish, offering the epitome of what it means to be a medium bodied cigar.

Where the Grand Cru sets itself apart from other cigars is in the prominence of the combination of flavors and the accessibility of this cigars unique profile. Personally, I have never experienced such a masterful combination of such rich flavors from a cigar before and it was truly an experience to be remembered. With each puff being more unique than the last I was most taken away by the Grand Cru’s nutty finish and creamy texture. The draw is airy which allows for easy enjoyment of both flavor and aroma and helps create a sturdy and firm ash. The Grand Cru is a perfect for cigar for just about any occasion although the luxurious tobacco and flavors are perfect for relaxing or putting the perfect emphasis on a well earned accomplishment to better celebrate any achievement.

Davidoff has once again set the bar high for cigar enthusiast and companies alike. The Grand Cru encapsulates everything that a smoker could want from a single experience. From the perfect appearance to the flavorful draws and sweet aroma, the Grand Cru manages to do it all in a beautiful composition for all of a lucky smokers senses. Our only complaint is that we aren’t smoking a Grand Cru right now and that the beautiful cigar has to eventually be put out.
