Davidoff Unveils the Grand Cru Diademas Finas: The Final Chapter of the “Cigar History Re-Rolled” Series
Davidoff is set to release the highly anticipated fourth and final installment of its βCigar History Re-Rolledβ series this week. Unlike previous releases, which brought back discontinued sizes for a limited run, this latest offering introduces a completely new cigar to the market: the Davidoff Grand Cru Diademas Finas.
A Unique Blend and Historic Inspiration
The Davidoff Grand Cru Diademas Finas marks a significant departure from the brandβs traditional Grand Cru line. This release not only introduces a new size but also incorporates tobacco aged in a wine barrel. Consequently, this innovation pays homage to Zino Davidoffβs passion for Bordeaux wines, which inspired the creation of Grand Cru cigars back in 1946.
Bordeaux wines are known for their blending methods using three primary grapes. Similarly, the Grand Cruβs filler blend consists of three different Dominican tobaccos. Notably, the standout component of this blend is the San Vicente seco filler, which Davidoff aged for six months in a Premier Grand Cru ClassΓ© red wine cask from Bordeaux, France.
Craftsmanship and Specifications
The double-tapered Diademas Finas measures 6 3/4 inches by 50 ring gauge. It features a light Connecticut-seed wrapper from Ecuador over a Dominican binder. Consequently, this combination results in a mild to medium-bodied cigar with a nuanced flavor profile.
Limited Availability and Exclusive Pairing Recommendations
Davidoff produces the Grand Cru Diademas Finas at Cigars Davidoff in the Dominican Republic. They are releasing only 4,050 boxes of 10 cigars for the U.S. market. Therefore, each cigar, priced at a suggested retail price of $57, becomes a coveted addition for cigar aficionados.
For those looking to enhance their smoking experience, Davidoff recommends pairing the Diademas Finas with a red Bordeaux, particularly from the Right Bank. This pairing complements the cigarβs unique flavor profile.
Celebrating the βCigar History Re-Rolledβ Series
The release of the Grand Cru Diademas Finas caps off the βCigar History Re-Rolledβ series. This series also includes the Signature No. 1 Limited Edition, Millennium Blend Series Lancero Limited Edition 2023, and Aniversario No. 1 Limited Edition 2023. Each release celebrates Davidoffβs rich heritage and commitment to innovation in the world of premium cigars.
As this final chapter arrives in shops, cigar enthusiasts have a unique opportunity to experience a blend that intertwines Davidoffβs storied past with a forward-thinking approach to cigar making. Thus, the Grand Cru Diademas Finas stands as a testament to the brandβs legacy and its continuous pursuit of excellence.
