Davidoff Yamasa

The Davidoff Yamasá took twenty years to make, the time master blender Hendrik Kelner spent learning to grow tobacco in the reddish, granular soil of the Yamasá region north of Santo Domingo. It's a black-band Davidoff, the designation for the brand's bolder, more adventurous blends. The wrapper, binder and part of the filler all carry Yamasá-grown leaf.

A shade-grown Yamasá wrapper sits over a Dominican San Vicente binder grown in the same region. The filler combines Dominican Piloto and Mejorado with Nicaraguan leaf from Condega and Estelí. Each cigar is made at the Cigars Davidoff factory in the Dominican Republic.

This one runs darker than a typical Davidoff. Oak, earth and a bright citrus note lead, with cedar, white pepper and cocoa underneath and a raspberry sweetness that shows up mid-cigar. Strength is medium to full, one of the boldest in Davidoff's core lineup alongside the Late Hour.

The Yamasá is an after-dinner cigar, built for experienced smokers who want Dominican tobacco with real depth. Davidoff recommends pairing it with a spiced rum, though a single malt works just as well. Reach for it when a Signature or Grand Cru feels too light.

• Robusto (5 x 50) — The balanced everyday size.
• Toro (6 x 52) — A longer, fuller read with more time for the sweetness to build.
• Pirámide (6 1/8 x 52) — A torpedo with a long tapered cap that concentrates the draw.
