Description
The Grand Cru Diademas Finas is a landmark release in Davidoff’s premium portfolio — the first time the Grand Cru line introduces a vintage figurado format and wine-cask-aged filler. The cigar is built around the brand’s longstanding “wine and tobacco” analogy, this time pulling even closer to the world of fine Bordeaux.

The figurado shape guides the palate and accentuates the experience of the blend turning gradually.

Storage & Usage Tips
-
Storage: Store in a humidor at ~65-70% relative humidity and 18-21 °C to maintain wrapper texture and flavour integrity.
-
Cut & Draw: Use a sharp straight cut or precise V-cut, especially because of the figuado shape—ensure smooth draw for full flavour.
-
Session Time: Because of the size (~6 ¾″) allow about 60-75 minutes for full enjoyment.
-
Pairing: Best enjoyed with a French Rive Droite Bordeaux, aged rum or medium-bodied cognac — complementing the cigar’s richness and wine-inspired nuance.
