Storage Instructions
To preserve the rich character of the Davidoff Escurio Robusto (12) store the cigars in a stable humidor. Aim for a relative humidity of 65% to 70% with 68% as an ideal target. Keep the temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF which is about 18ºC to 21ºC. If your humidor has a hygrometer check it regularly and calibrate as needed. For best protection keep the cigars in their original cedar box inside the humidor when possible. If you do not have a dedicated humidor a quality travel humidor or sealed container with a two way humidification pack will maintain proper moisture for short term storage. Avoid direct sunlight, strong odors and wide swings in temperature or humidity which can dry or mildew the wrapper.
Care Tips
Handle the Davidoff Escurio Robusto (12) gently to protect the wrapper. Hold by the body and avoid pinching the foot or applying pressure to the cap. If the wrappers show slight bloom or oiliness that is normal for darker, fuller blends and is a sign of proper conditioning. After transport allow the cigars to rest in your humidor for 48 to 72 hours to fully acclimate. For peak flavor consider waiting two to four weeks after purchase to let the blend marry in your humidor. These robust cigars also respond well to aging for one to three years if you enjoy deeper complexity and softened edges. Rotate cigars in the humidor occasionally and keep them away from strong perfumes food or cleaning agents that can impart unwanted flavors.
Reviews and Ratings
Full length, official reviews specifically for the Davidoff Escurio Robusto are somewhat limited in the major cigar magazines. That said, tastings and forum discussion around the Escurio line generally highlight a richer and more textured profile than some of Davidoff’s milder offerings. Enthusiasts and boutique reviewers tend to praise the Robusto for even construction, a clean draw, and layered notes of earth, cocoa, and gentle spice. For broader context, Davidoff lines often receive strong attention from magazines such as Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel, so expectations for craftsmanship and consistency are high even when a specific numeric rating is not available.
History and Heritage
Davidoff is synonymous with premium Dominican craftsmanship and meticulous tobacco selection, and the Escurio line was conceived as a bolder expression within that tradition.

The Robusto format concentrates the blend’s flavors into a satisfying, medium length smoke, making it a good choice for smokers who want a compact cigar with a pronounced but refined character. The line reflects Davidoff’s reputation for consistency, attention to detail, and a long standing commitment to quality tobaccos.
Tasting Notes
The Davidoff Escurio Robusto (12) presents a refined medium-to-full-bodied profile, opening with rich notes of dark cocoa and freshly pulled espresso that quickly give way to warm black pepper and aged leather. Mid-palate nuances reveal toasted cedar, molasses sweetness and a subtle nuttiness that balances the cigar’s deeper earthy backbone. A silky, slightly creamy finish lifts the ensemble with hints of dried fruit and sweet spice, while inviting aromas of toasted oak, cocoa nibs and warm coffee steam fill the room. This is a complex, layered smoke designed for aficionados who appreciate depth without overt aggression.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Caribbean dark rum, its caramel, vanilla and spice tones echo the Escurio’s molasses and cocoa notes, creating a sumptuous, complementary duet. Single-origin espresso, the concentrated coffee intensity mirrors the cigar’s espresso and bitter chocolate elements, sharpening the finish and highlighting subtle sweetness. 70–85% dark chocolate or a mature aged cheddar, the chocolate amplifies cocoa and roasted flavors while a nutty, aged cheese brings out the cigar’s savory, woody nuances for a balanced tasting experience.
