This cigar is produced in the Dominican Republic. It is a Dominican puro 100 % made with tobaccos from six different terroirs, and is 32 years old. The wrapper of the Davidoff Puro Dominicano Short Robusto is made from Yamasá tobacco, the wrapper from Martín Garcia and the filler from Villa González, Mao, Piloto, Navarrete and Yamasá. This liga also uses leaves with high foliage levels, resulting in a richer taste, a smooth smoke and a consistency that meets Davidoff's exacting standards.
Storage Instructions
To preserve the character and delicate wrapper of the Davidoff Puro Dominicano short robusto store your cigars in a stable humidor set to 65 to 70% relative humidity with a target of about 68% RH. Keep the humidor temperature between 65 and 70ºF (18 and 21ºC) to avoid rapid expansion and contraction of the leaf. Use a well seasoned humidor lined with Spanish cedar when possible and place cigars away from direct sunlight and strong odors. If you prefer to keep them in their box leave the box sealed inside the humidor to help the cigars settle into a consistent environment. When bringing cigars home from a cooler or drier shop allow them to acclimate slowly in the humidor for several days rather than forcing humidity changes quickly.
Care Tips
Handle the Davidoff Puro Dominicano short robusto with clean dry hands and avoid pinching or rolling the wrapper to preserve its smooth finish. Trim with a sharp cutter and toast the foot gently before drawing to protect the wrapper and ensure an even light. For best balance let freshly purchased cigars rest in your humidor for two to four weeks so the blend can harmonize, though they are well made and enjoyable right away. These all Dominican cigars can also reward short term aging of six to twelve months if you prefer slightly rounded flavors. For travel use a small sealed travel humidor or resealable bag with a compact humidification pack and check humidity on return. Finally rotate stock periodically and use a calibrated hygrometer to monitor conditions so each DAVIDOFF puro dominicano short robusto smokes as intended.
Reviews and Ratings
Davidoff Puro Dominicano short robusto has earned praise from both critics and everyday smokers for its consistent construction and refined flavor. While major outlets such as Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel have reviewed the Puro Dominicana line, reviews that focus specifically on the short robusto vitola are less common. Available commentary highlights a balanced profile with creamy cedar, toasted nut, subtle cocoa and a gentle pepper note, along with an even burn and smooth draw. Enthusiasts tend to rate it highly as an accessible yet sophisticated smoke that delivers the signature Davidoff polish in a shorter format.
History and Heritage
The Puro Dominicano line reflects Davidoff’s commitment to showcasing Dominican tobacco grown for aroma and complexity. Davidoff is a storied luxury cigar house known for meticulous blending and strict quality standards, and the Puro Dominicana was developed to celebrate the character of Dominican leaf from wrapper to filler. The short robusto applies that tradition to a compact shape, offering the same careful craftsmanship and refined flavor in a quicker, more approachable package that suits both seasoned aficionados and those looking for a premium short smoke.
Tasting Notes
The DAVIDOFF puro dominicano short robusto delivers a refined, medium-bodied experience with a silky draw and polished construction. Opening notes of toasted cedar and warm almond give way to rich espresso and dark cocoa, underpinned by honeyed Dominican tobacco and a soft leather undertone. A bright whisper of white pepper and distant baking spice evolves on the midpalate while floral and hay-like aromas lift the bouquet. The finish is long and clean, leaving lingering cedar and a subtle sweetness that invites another draw.
Pairing Suggestions
Amber-aged Dominican rum — its caramel and vanilla tones echo the cigar’s sweet tobacco and cocoa, creating a harmonious, rounded pairing. Double espresso — the concentrated coffee sharpens the cigar’s espresso and cocoa notes and provides a crisp contrast to the creamy texture. 70% dark chocolate or almond biscotti — the bittersweet chocolate and nutty crunch complement the cigar’s toasted almond and cocoa profile while balancing its subtle spice.
