The 5 best Dominican cigars
Belicoso XXX
22,00 €
Immediately full-flavored, with very peppery notes (black pepper) and undertones of dried fruit. The Belicoso is changing, with good complexity, and the strength builds to a crescendo. Flavors of dry earth dominate a particularly persistent, dark and tannic flavor profile. A little cigar that is full of energy.

Gordito

The start toys with deep woody notes before the first third delivers an excellent volume of smoke and more organic, complex and tasty notes. The second third continues with good strength and an intense aftertaste with toasted flavors. The strength kicks in during n the final third and adds a welcome hint of coffee. A perfectly measured cigar with a remarkable aftertaste.

Robusto
17,00 €
This very attractive Robusto continues to delight us thanks to its excellent tempo. Full-bodied from the get-go with hazelnut, cocoa and coffee, the strength builds progressively. The smoke develops a stronger nose, becomes more pungent, with bold scents of wet earth until a satisfying, spicy and balsamic finish. An enjoyable and heady smoke that has always been a winner.

The Aristocrat
21,50 €
The start is slightly muddled, with spicy hints in the tongue. The score than settles into a very elegant melody of leather, precious wood and spices. The strength increases steadily, bringing chocolaty flavors. The smoke is creamy, and the draw and burn are impeccable up to a spotless finish. An excellent, well-paced and balanced cigar.

Robusto

Once the slightly bitter start has passed, the meaty smoke carries woody scents and deep, roasted flavors of hazelnut, toast, and cocoa. The Robusto is increasingly intense as you smoke through, asserting its spicy and balsamic character. The finish is intense. Hats off to Davidoff for a perfectly controlled blend of delicious complexity ! Their flagship vessel.
