Storage Instructions
For the Davidoff Yamasa Robusto (12) keep your cigars in a stable, well maintained humidor for the best results. Aim for a relative humidity of 65% to 70% and a temperature near 68ºF (20ºC). A cedar lined humidor helps preserve proper humidity and adds a subtle complementary aroma to the tobacco. If you do not have a humidor use a quality travel humidor or seal the cigars in a zippered bag with a two way humidity pack rated to the same range. Avoid rapid changes in humidity and temperature and keep cigars out of direct sunlight and away from strong odors. Do not refrigerate or freeze your cigars as that will damage the wrapper and the tobacco.
Care Tips
The Davidoff Yamasa Robusto (12) features a Nicaraguan Yamasa wrapper and rich Nicaraguan fillers that reward gentle handling. Handle each stick by the band or the foot and avoid rolling or pinching the wrapper to prevent oils and cracks. If you purchased a boxed set consider box aging in the humidor for even humidity exposure. Allow newly shipped cigars to acclimate in your humidor for 7 to 14 days before smoking. For those who enjoy evolution of flavor the Yamasa blend responds well to short to medium term aging of 6 months to 2 years while still remaining enjoyable when properly rested for a few weeks. Rotate your sticks every few weeks so humidity evens out and check your hydrometer and humidification system regularly to maintain a steady environment.

Tasting Notes
The Davidoff Yamasa Robusto (12) presents a refined, medium-to-full bodied profile that unfolds with polished precision. It opens with a warm espresso and dark cocoa core, accented by black pepper and a subtle mineral earthiness on the draw. Mid-palate notes of toasted cedar, supple leather and toasted hazelnut give way to a lingering sweet molasses finish touched by gentle baking spice; the retrohale reveals a floral tobacco aroma that elevates the cigar’s complexity. Overall the Yamasa Robusto balances power and finesse—firm construction, even burn and a silky smoke that rewards slow contemplation.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Caribbean rum, its caramel, vanilla and oak tones mirror the cigar’s cocoa and molasses notes while the spirit’s warmth lifts the peppery finish; single‑shot espresso (or ristretto), the concentrated coffee echoing the cigar’s espresso and dark chocolate character, sharpening the cigar’s bitter‑sweet interplay; 70% dark chocolate or a slice of aged Manchego, dense cacao or nutty cheese rounds out the Yamasa’s toasted hazelnut and cedar, creating a luxurious, layered finish.
