What It Tastes Like
We found no Cigar Aficionado, halfwheel or Cigar Coop review of this size, so there is no critic score to report. Retailer notes point to a soft, nutty profile: Cigars International describes a buttery, nut-led start that gains light spice, cedar and a grassy Davidoff edge, and Neptune Cigar lists nuts, cream, spice and cedar.
Who It’s For
- Grand Cru fans who want more girth than the line’s slim coronas offer.
- Morning or daytime smokers looking for a gentle Connecticut-wrapped robusto.
- Newer cigar smokers curious about one of Davidoff’s lighter-bodied blends.

- Gentle strength, per Neptune, JR and Holt’s line listing
Cons

About the Grand Cru Line
Holt’s presents Grand Cru as a nod to founder Zino Davidoff, and Cigars International links it to the blends and sizes he first created. Per Cigar Coop, the series was long built around corona sizes, and the Robusto and Toro arrived in 2016 with American smokers in mind.
Pairing and Storage
A mild cigar is easily drowned out, so pick the lighter options in our cigar pairing guide, such as champagne or white rum. Keep it humidified with help from our humidor basics guide.
