The Davidoff Millennium Blend Piramides comes in a flashy pyramid shape (6 1/8" x 52) that tapers to a sharp cap. Priced at $345 for 10 sticks, this Dominican-made figurado wears an oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that looks like it's been dipped in liquid chocolate. I smoked mine after three weeks in the humidor - the cigar felt heavy in hand with a triple cap that peeled clean as a whistle.
The cold draw serves up cedar shavings and cashew butter. Upon lighting, it punches with white pepper that quickly settles into creamy coffee territory. Smoke production stays moderate - no massive clouds here. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite the pyramid shape's widest point.
At the 40-minute mark, the core shifts to roasted almonds dipped in dark chocolate. Hints of cinnamon emerge, sticking to the roof of the mouth. Retrohale brings out faint dried apricot sweetness. Ash holds strong in 1.5" segments.
Entering the last 2 inches, earthy notes of damp soil take over. Nicotine buzz creeps up slowly - not overpowering but noticeable. The wrapper's oiliness translates to slight tar buildup near the band. Most smokers tap out before the nub due to intensifying pepper spice.
Handmade in Santiago, DR using aged Dominican fillers and that signature Ecuadorian wrapper. The Piloto Cubano leaf comes from Davidoff's own farms, fermented for that creamy base. Unlike the stronger Nicaraguan puros, this blend showcases Caribbean subtlety - perfect for pairing with aged rum or black coffee.
