Let's talk about the Davidoff Primeros Escurio - a pocket rocket measuring 4 1/8" with a slim 34 ring gauge, packed in boxes of 30. Priced around $6 per stick ($189/box), this Brazilian-infused blend delivers surprising intensity for its petite size. The oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper conceals Dominican fillers and Brazilian Cubra binder, creating what I'd call "espresso shot" of cigars - quick, strong, and packed with flavor.
The cold draw surprises with salty pretzel notes. Upon lighting, cedar wood and white pepper dominate, accompanied by subtle licorice sweetness. Thin blue smoke output - don't expect massive clouds here.
Brazilian Mata Fina tobacco emerges with dark chocolate bitterness. Citrus peel acidity cuts through, creating tension between sweet and savory elements. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite the narrow gauge.
Espresso grounds and black pepper take center stage. The last inch develops slight harshness - common in small formats. Total smoke time clocks 35 minutes, perfect for hurried sessions.
Pair with flat white coffee to complement the citrus notes. Store at 65% RH - higher humidity exacerbates the tight draw. These respond well to 6+ months aging, mellowing the initial pepper blast.
