The Davidoff Escurio Gran Toro is presented in a 4-cigar pack. It is the Brazilian-accented house line: rain-rich Bahia character, natural sweetness and a lively mix of salt, spice and darker aroma. BLEND: Colour Maduro; Brazilian binder and Brazilian-Dominican filler. 14 cm length with a ring gauge 58, about 65 minutes smoking time. The Gran Toro gives the Brazilian-Dominican Escurio blend more room, making the format broader and more rounded. The Toro size gives the blend more room and a steadier pace than the shorter formats. PAIRING: Aged rum or a spicy malt can echo the sweet-spicy rhythm without flattening the cigar.
Tasting notes
Maduro
creamy, sweet smoke with generous volume
chocolate, coffee, wood, fruit, pepper, salt and leather
excellent burn behaviour
Escurio brings Brazilian tobacco into Davidoff's precise house style. It is the more animated side of the range: sweet, spicy and rhythmic, while still keeping the clean construction expected from Oettinger Davidoff.
