Description
To mark the tenth anniversary of the Escurio line (launched in 2015), Davidoff has crafted a special Limited Edition Gran Toro for 2025. This premium cigar celebrates a decade of innovation within the Escurio series, blending aged Brazilian and Dominican tobaccos for a refined yet bold experience.
The result is an exquisite offering that retains the signature Escurio style—salt-sweet interplay, creamy texture and spice—but elevated through age, barrel-fermentation and size.
