Davidoff Nicaragua Diademas

Davidoff was known for producing milder cigars with Dominican tobacco and lightConnecticut-seed wrappers. But thenin 2013for the first time in its historyDavidoff launched a cigar made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco. Made in the Dominican Republic to Davidoff's exacting standards of constructionthe cigars were given a black label€”another stark change to the brand identity€”and suddenlyDavidoff occupied a whole new space in the cigar world.

Shortly after the brand was releasedDavidoff added to the line by creating a figurado shape called the Diadema. The blend was already bold to begin withbut the tapers and curves of the Diadema seem to sharpen this already tasty assemblage of tobaccobringing the overall smoking experience into better focus. Precise notes of red fruitwalnut and maple syrup enhance the rich core of nutmeg with more levels of complexity. It's as sophisticated in character as it is in appearanceand consists of tobacco from Nicaragua's major growing regions: EstelíCondegaJalapa and the volcanic island of Ometepe.\"
