Quick Smoke: Davidoff Escurio Petit Robusto

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

As Davidoff’s black band lines continue expanding beyond the company’s Dominican roots, the Escurio line features Brazilian tobacco along with Dominican inside an oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. It’s a spicy, complex smoke, even in this small size (3.25 x 50), which runs about $32 for a four-pack. Escurio is spicy, complex, and different. This profile likely won’t appeal to everyone, and I wouldn’t want to smoke it regularly. But as an occasional treat, it’s well worth a try.

Verdict = Buy.
