Davidoff Aniversario Short Perfecto

This figurado-shaped gem from Davidoff packs 4 3/4" of Dominican craftsmanship into a 52-ring perfecto. At $582.50 for 25 sticks, it's your golden ticket to celebratory smoke breaks. The Ecuadorian wrapper glistens with that well-oiled sheen we expect from aged Davidoffs, though I'd smoke these within 3 years for peak performance.

Smoke Journey

First Third

The cold draw serves whipped cream sweetness. Initial puffs deliver roasted almonds and honeycomb through plumes of velvety smoke. Watch for that signature Davidoff cedar spike around the 1/2" mark - subtle but persistent.

Mid Section

As the burn hits maximum girth, expect baking spices and mineral undertones. The San Vicente tobacco shows its teeth with white pepper dusting on the tongue. Pro tip: retrohale here catches fleeting floral notes before they vanish.

Final Stretch

Down to the nub, it transforms into a dessert cart - hazelnut spread and caramelized sugar dominate. The Connecticut-shade wrapper keeps bitterness at bay even with fast puffing. Minimal nicotine buildup makes this perfect for back-to-back smoking.

Connoisseur Comparisons

  • Ashton Classic Connecticut Corona (5.5×44): Brighter citrus notes, shorter finish
  • AVO Classic No.2 (5×50): Apple-like acidity, tighter draw
  • Macanudo Café Toro (6×50): Oatmeal creaminess, milder body
  • La Aurora Preferidos Perfecto (5.1×52): Cinnamon spice accent, quicker smoke

Tobacco Terroir

The Dominican filler blend combines Piloto Cubano's woody base with San Vicente's combustion magic. Davidoff's triple-fermentation process shines through - zero ammonia bite despite the compact format. The Ecuadorian wrapper adds just enough sweetness to balance the Dominican earthiness.
