2013. A new era of dynamic flavour begins. The iconic Black Band graces a Davidoff cigar for the first time. The treasures which our blenders had brought back from Nicaragua were unveiled in the shape of a surprising and stunning new creation.
Exploration, adventure and discovery had led them to the fiery volcanic soil. The tobacco which had risen from this rare terroir was unique. Only the skill of our Master Blenders could tame it and refine it into the cigar which was to mark a new era of Davidoff innovation. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of this modern classic, we set out anew to explore, adventure and discover, this time to climb to new heights of taste to match Nicaragua’s volcanic peaks.
The result is an experience of another level. The tobaccos in this Limited Edition have been aged for an incredible total of 45 years. Adding to the already-aged filler, binder and wrapper, our blenders also introduced a 9-year-old Estelí tobacco to the mix for the first time. But still they continued to pursue the extraordinary. Not content with unearthing a new Nicaraguan variety, they aged the Estelí in rum casks for added depth and distinctiveness. From the widest ranges of their imagination and their craft, this is the flavour journey they have delivered. Embarking through notes of roasted nuts, the taste gives way to oak wood and ends intensely with black coffee.
This is unchartered taste territory. This is the highest these uncommon and intense ingredients can reach. THIS IS PEAK NICARAGUA
