Davidoff Box Pressed Nicaragua Toro Review

Box Pressed Nicaragua
Made by: Davidoff
Country: Nicaragua, Dominican Republic
Vitola: 6 by 52 (toro)

It’s time for another Davidoff Review! I recently did another vitola of the Davidoff Nicaragua. This is a box pressed toro size of the same line and it will be interesting to see how that changes the profile. Let’s see how it performs with a Davidoff Box Pressed Nicaragua Toro Review. And then I’ll connect it back to the other vitola in terms of finding some differences.

Prelight

Small to medium veins with visible seams. Well done cap, with Davidoff’s this can be an issue area hopefully that goes smooth though. The foot is giving off a deep cocoa/cedar with light leather and a tangy almost sour note. And not in a bad way, the sour note is quite a welcome addition to that profile. Clean cut with some loose tobacco, slightly below average resistance on the draw. The tangy note is still noticeable on the prelight draw as is the cocoa/cedar and a light red pepper on the lips.

1/3

Extremely easy to light, medium smoke thickness but tons of smoke. Cedar on the front with cocoa and macadamia nut underneath, that tangy note is the finish. The best description of that is lemon rine, the macadamia nut carries into the finish as well. One thing I am noticing off the bat is that this is more developed then the normal vitola’s in this line. Medium body and low strength. The cigar is burning pretty quickly. I expect the body to rise to a medium full. Not a perfect burn line but no issues. That tangy finish with the macadamia nut is delicious. There is a low black and red pepper that lingers in the mouth after the other flavors have retreated. Cedar and the undertone of cocoa remain on the front. In all honesty I would be fine with the cigar holding this profile the entire smoke.

2/3

Watch the ash it does fall off in thirds and it almost got me because I thought it was sturdier. As I am getting into the second third the nutty notes are coming up as the cedar/cocoa falls. Cashew and macadamia nut are the notes that control the mixed nut flavor. The tangy note on the finish alongside the macadamia nut remains. And the pepper note is now red pepper forward with black in the background. Great mouthfeel but still medium smoke thickness. High smoke production, the strength is still at a low. The body has reached a medium full and the strength has gotten to a low-medium. Wonderful strong flavors, much more defined then the normal lines.

3/3

The body is holding at a medium to full and the cedar/cocoa has returned to the front of the profile as the nuts retreat. The tangy note is starting to die down as the mixed pepper begins to take the finish. The pepper note is holding the red forward characteristic. Strength has come up to a solid medium. Smoke production and thickness is constant. If I had to pick a vitola out of the Davidoff Nicaragua’s to smoke. This would undoubtedly be my go to.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes

Conclusion: 90

There were a couple of profile changes mainly with the power of flavors between this and the previous Davidoff Nicaragua that I reviewed. In either case this is another solid blended cigar by the company holding true to Nicaraguan flavors with a slight twist. Smoke one of these if you are picking a vitola of the Nicaragua. And they absolutely justify a box purchase if you enjoy the flavors. I love that tangy note.
