Why this cigar
The Grand Cru line is Davidoff at its most classic — elegant, creamy and beautifully balanced. The No. 3 is a favourite among enthusiasts searching for Davidoff Grand Cru No. 3 review thanks to its refined profile and easygoing strength. A superb option if you want to buy Davidoff cigars UK in a traditional Corona size.
In 1946, Zino Davidoff entertained the idea to launch an innovative cigar line that was created and crafted just like Bordeaux wines. Thus, the legendary line we know as Grand Cru today was born, named in reference to the world of wine.
Flavour & draw
Expect light cedar, toasted almond, floral notes, fresh bread, and a soft white-pepper finish. Smooth and steady burn with the signature Davidoff clean, aromatic smoke.
The unmistakably sophisticated Grand Cru blend springs from only the finest leaves from the most carefully selected fields and makes for mild and lightly floral cigars with a nutty finish. The corona format of Davidoff Grand Cru No. 3 emphasises the spicy component of this complex blend.
The Grand Cru No. 3 starts off with an impression of oak wood on the pre-taste and a perfumy pre-smell. Due to its corona format, Davidoff's Master Blenders were able to use a higher percentage of Dominican Piloto tobacco, which emphasises the spicy component of the blend, which is especially noticeable in the retrohale. Due to the relatively short length, the taste experience is characterised by a dynamic flavour change and a nutty finish.
