This sampler pack brings together five distinct robustos from Davidoff's core collections - like a greatest hits album for cigar enthusiasts. At $110.40 for the box, you're basically paying $22 per premium smoke. The selection includes various 5" robustos (50-54 ring gauge) from Aniversario, Escurio, Nicaragua, Yamasa and Winston Churchill lines, making it ideal for travelers who want variety without committing to full boxes.
The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers feel like polished leather - no visible veins, perfect roll density. Lighting up the Aniversario Special R first: immediate creaminess with cedar undertones. Ash holds solid inch before dropping. The Nicaragua Robusto punches harder with black pepper on retrohale by mid-point. Watch the Yamasa - its Dominican seco leaves build nicotine strength faster than others.
Aniversario: Baking spices & toasted almonds Escurio: Earthy coffee bean notes Nicaragua: Leather & dark chocolate Yamasa: Red fruit sweetness Churchill: Creamy cashew
All variants develop stronger wood tones - cedar dominates Aniversario while Escurio shifts toward molasses sweetness. Nicaragua's pepper peaks then mellows into licorice. Yamasa's fruitiness gets jammy, Churchill maintains nutty consistency.
Aniversario turns bready like fresh croissants. Escurio's earthiness deepens to loamy soil. Nicaragua stays linear but smooth. Yamasa develops cinnamon heat. Churchill concludes with buttered popcorn note.
Consistent 45-55 minute burn time across samples. Escurio required one touch-up. Draw resistance varies from easy (Aniversario) to medium-firm (Nicaragua). Ash coloration ranges from salt-and-pepper (Yamasa) to bright white (Churchill).
While individual Davidoff robustos retail around $25-30, this sampler provides 20% savings. The included blends normally require purchasing separate $200+ boxes. For newcomers exploring Davidoff's range or veterans wanting a tasting flight, this curated pack eliminates decision fatigue.
