A Masterclass in Dominican Terroir & Innovation The Davidoff Puro Dominicano Short Robusto marks a bold new chapter in the acclaimed Black Band Collection. Departing from the traditional, mild profile of the White Band, this exceptional Dominican puro embarks on an adventurous exploration of origin—crafted exclusively from tobaccos grown in six of the island’s most distinct micro-climates. With a combined tobacco-aging pedigree of 32 years, the Puro Dominicano achieves a complexity, refined development, and flavor clarity that only Davidoff’s master blenders can orchestrate. Anatomy of the Blend: Inspired by the depth and beauty of Dominican amber, this blend draws from hyper-specific regional terroirs to create a sophisticated, medium- to full-bodied masterpiece. Wrapper: Rich, mineral-forward Habano leaf from Yamasá Binder: Robust and structured leaf from Martín García Filler: A curated, multi-regional blend from Villa González, Mao, Navarrete, Piloto, and Yamasá Vitola: Short Robusto (4 1/2" x 52) — A traditionalist’s favorite designed for a slow, highly focused combustion. Tasting Notes & Progressive Experience The slimmer ring gauge of the Short Robusto restricts airflow just enough to amplify the wrapper’s influence, allowing the blend’s deep, dark sweet notes to unfurl with precision over a 40- to 60-minute smoke. THE FOOT (First Third) Dominant Notes: Dark chocolate, warm brown sugar, and toasted artisan bread. Experience: A smooth, decadent introduction, complemented by an inviting, creamy smoke texture. THE BODY (Second Third) Dominant Notes: Earth, dried fruits, oak wood, and salted nuts. Experience: The blend deepens, introducing a savory, rich complexity. THE HEAD (Final Third) Dominant Notes: Leather, rich cream, and dry biscuit. Experience: A robust, rounded finale, leaving a long, lingering finish of cocoa.
