Quick Smoke: Davidoff Super Selection No. 11

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

This petit corona is only available at the two Davidoff stores in midtown New York City. The un-banded smoke has a rustic-looking Ecuadorian sungrown wrapper that surrounds a Dominican olor binder and filler from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The smoke starts off medium-bodied and nutty, but it soon ramps up into a more full-bodied smoke, complete with roast coffee, cedar, and subtle black pepper flavors. Construction is excellent, with a wide black line leading an even burn and a sturdy salt-and-pepper ash.

Verdict = Buy.
