Description
The Davidoff Millennium Short Robusto is a stubby 4 1/4 x 52 cigar with an Ecuadorian wrapper around a Dominican binder and filler, part of Davidoff’s Millennium Blend Series. Oettinger Davidoff, the brand’s maker, positions it as a quicker, punchier alternative to the regular Robusto.
What It Tastes Like
We found three Cigar Aficionado ratings for this exact vitola, each listing it as medium in strength. The high point was 91 points in February 2013: mild earth and coffee bean topped by oak and white wine, and it drew and burned perfectly. June 2010 brought 86 points for cedar and wood ending on semi-sweet nougat. December 2016 was the low, 82 points, for mustiness that soured and turned bitter.
Who It’s For
- Short-break smokers who want a Davidoff that fits a lunch hour.
- Fans of thick, short formats who like a wide 52 ring in a compact length.
- Millennium Robusto smokers curious how the blend changes in a shorter frame.

About the Millennium Blend
Cigar Coop’s 2011 review credits the blend to Henkie Kelner and places it in Davidoff’s white-label range. Oettinger Davidoff’s trade site lists aged Piloto, San Vicente and Olor tobaccos beneath the Ecuadorian leaf.
Pairing and Storage
Oettinger Davidoff suggests coffee, a rum with coffee or chocolate tones, or a gentle sherry-cask whisky alongside the Millennium blend. See our cigar pairing guide for more.
