Description
The Davidoff Millennium Robusto is a 5 1/4 x 50 robusto from Davidoff’s White Band Collection with an Ecuadorian wrapper over Dominican binder and filler, made in the Dominican Republic. Davidoff calls the wrapper Hybrid 151 and says its blenders tested 300 versions before trial 151 won their approval.
What It Tastes Like
Davidoff rates it 3.5 out of 5 for intensity and body, listing oak, coffee, prune, dark chocolate, almond, white pepper and peat. Neptune Cigar describes cedar, earth and spice, and both Neptune and Cigars International class it as medium to full. We could not confirm a Cigar Aficionado score under the current Millennium name, so we do not quote one here.
Who It’s For
- Davidoff fans wanting a medium-full White Band cigar.
- Coffee lovers, since coffee is in Davidoff’s own tasting notes.
- Classic robusto smokers who prefer a 50 ring gauge.

About Davidoff Millennium
Davidoff lists Millennium in its White Band Collection. According to halfwheel, Davidoff introduced a Millennium Blend Series in 2001 in four sizes, a Robusto among them; we found no source confirming whether today’s Millennium blend is unchanged from that release.
Pairing and Storage
With coffee in Davidoff’s own notes, espresso is worth trying alongside it; bourbon, from the medium-bodied picks in our cigar pairing guide, also suits it.
