Davidoff Escurio Robusto Tubos (12)

Davidoff Escurio Robusto Tubos is a captivating Dominican-made cigar from Davidoff’s Escurio line, inspired by Zino Davidoff’s pioneering spirit and the rhythm, intrigue, and energy of a night in Rio de Janeiro. Built around bold Brazilian tobaccos, this is a departure from the classic Davidoff style — vivid, spicy-sweet, and unmistakably refined.

Expect a medium-to-full profile that stimulates both the sweet and spicy zones of the palate, with notes of chilli pepper, fresh cocoa, aged cedar, oak, liquorice, and a pronounced nuttiness, layered with hints of salt, leather, and coffee for a rich, complex finish.

Our suggestion for cigars of similar strength:

• Davidoff Nicaragua Robusto

This bold Robusto measures 114mm with a 54 ring gauge, hand-rolled using an Ecuadorian Havana Seed wrapper, a Brazilian Cubra binder, and a carefully selected blend of Brazilian (Mata Fina and Cubra) and Dominican (San Vicente, Piloto, and Olor/Piloto Seco) long-filler tobaccos. Each cigar arrives individually sheathed in a dense aluminium tubo to preserve freshness.

Ideal with aged rum, single malt whisky, or an espresso — also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate or a robust porter to highlight its spicy-sweet complexity.
