The Davidoff Escurio has a noticeably sweeter nose even before I put a torch to it. This cigar started a little dry and bitter, but the bitterness dissipates after about five minutes of smoking. Escurio has a very nice flavor while being surprisingly strong in taste. It has notes of wood, dark tobacco, and dark chocolate. I did not detect any nuts and no earth and it had a perfect draw with a straight cut. At the time of smoking, I was not sure what the binder and filler were, so I guessed Brazil, and I was right. I have noticed Brazilian tobacco has a distinct flavor profile.
Prices: Box of 14 = $150.00, Pack of 4 = $42.00, One cigar (assume) = $14-16
This one is the second best of the box set and worth the money if it fits your budget.
If you like it, drink it (or smoke it)! – Chris
