Description
The Davidoff Millennium Toro is a 6 x 50 cigar that pairs an Ecuadorian wrapper, which Cigar Coop calls sun-grown, with a Dominican binder and Dominican filler. Davidoff rolls it in the Dominican Republic, and halfwheel names the company’s TABADOM operation as the factory.
What It Tastes Like
Davidoff describes the Millennium blend as medium to full in body, listing white pepper, chocolate, caramel and spice, and its note on the Toro size highlights caramel and roasted coffee. For this exact size, Cigar Aficionado’s review dated February 1, 2012 noted a deeply hued wrapper, a touch of sweetness with some grassy character, an easy draw and a pleasant saltiness lingering afterward. Cigar Coop’s February 11, 2011 review of the longer 6 3/4 x 48 Churchill found cherry-like sweetness, nuts and charred toast early, then coffee and black pepper, with coffee and nut deepening and wood arriving in the back half.
Who It’s For
- Davidoff smokers who want a blend the maker itself rates medium to full.
- Toro fans who like a 6-inch smoke on a 50 ring rather than a thicker gauge.
- Ecuadorian-wrapper enthusiasts curious how that leaf sits on an all-Dominican core.
