Davidoff Yamasa Robusto

Davidoff Yamasá | Robusto (Box of 12)

The Davidoff Yamasá Robusto is the result of one of the most ambitious undertakings in the history of tobacco. For over two decades, Davidoff’s Master Blenders fought against the elements to transform the swampy, acidic soil of the Yamasá region in the Dominican Republic into a premier tobacco-growing site. The result is a cigar that offers a flavor profile unlike anything else in the world.

The Achievement: Taming the Soil

The Yamasá series is defined by its unique minerals. By painstakingly adjusting the soil’s pH levels and nurturing the plants with unparalleled care, Davidoff created a leaf that carries a distinct earthy spiciness and a deep, orange-tinted wrapper that is as beautiful as it is flavorful.

Tasting Profile

• Body: Medium-to-Full

• Wrapper: Dark, oily, and shimmering Yamasá (Dominican Republic)

• Binder: Robust Yamasá (Dominican Republic)

• Filler: A complex blend of Nicaraguan (Condega and Estelí) and Dominican (Piloto and Mejorado) tobaccos.

• Key Notes: The experience begins with an immediate hit of black pepper and spice, quickly transitioning into rich notes of nutcross, deep cedar, and leather. The finish is characterized by a unique “Yamasá earthiness” and a subtle hint of orange citrus.

The Robusto Format

• Length: 5 inches

• Ring Gauge: 50

• Smoking Time: 45 – 55 minutes

The Robusto (50 x 5″) is the perfect vitola for the Yamasá blend. Its slightly tighter ring gauge compared to a Toro focuses the intensity of the specialized wrapper and binder, ensuring that the mineral-rich spicy notes are front and center from the very first draw.

Presentation

The Box of 12 comes in a sleek, modern wooden cabinet with a sliding lid. This smaller box size is ideal for the aficionado who wants to keep a fresh rotation of these complex sticks in their humidor or for those looking to experience a premium, high-concept blend without committing to a full cabinet of 20.

An adventurous smoke for the experienced palate. Pairs exceptionally well with a spicy Caribbean rum or a long-aged Bourbon.
