Description

The Davidoff Grand Cru No. 2 epitomises refined elegance in a classic corona format, spanning 5⅝ inches with a slender 43 ring gauge for a leisurely 30-45 minute smoke. Hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic using aged Ligero tobaccos, its golden Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper veils a Dominican binder and fillers, yielding a mild-to-medium body brimming with creamy sophistication. Initial puffs unveil sweet, clean cedar and hay, laced with fruity florals and subtle vanilla, blossoming into toasted almonds, woody barrel notes, honey-roasted nuts, light cinnamon spice, and grassy hints when paired with whisky. Midway, coffee, dark chocolate, and exotic spices emerge alongside a long, woody finish with black pepper tingles; the finale intensifies with caramel, leather, earth, and sugary sweetness, all impeccably balanced by flawless construction—perfect draw, even burn, and firm ash. A connoisseur’s delight for daytime or evening repose.
