Puro d’Oro Eminentes
Made by: Davidoff

Vitola: 6 1/4 by 50

Another Davidoff review, this is one that I actually haven’t had before. Considering the past Davidoff reviews I have conducted, the biggest tell if a Davidoff is going to be good or not is if its construction is solid. So the prelight is going to be very important on this cigar. Of course the name comes with prestige, but lets see if the construction and tobacco can back it up this time around. Lets get it started with a Davidoff Puro d’Oro Eminentes Review.

Prelight

To start off, the cap looks well done, a nice pigtail. There’s a light tooth to the wrapper of the cigar. Visible seams, medium to small veins. The foot is giving off a white pepper note with some light citrus on the back. Very firm and even pack, let’s see how it cuts. Lots of loose tobacco after the cut, but other than that the cap is intact and the draw is great. Cedar and white pepper on the draw, little red pepper tongue tingle is also present. And there still is a slight citrus finish that I’m getting. Let’s get this lit up and see how it performs.

1/3

Very balanced and unified flavor profile. A mix of Cedar, white pepper, and citrus is blended on the front and the finish is a white and red pepper, notable by a tingle.  As the first third starts to burn, there’s a light cashew coming up alongside the finish. Medium bodied, low strength very relaxing profile at this point. Good burn line, I don’t expect any construction issues with the cigar. In my experience with Davidoff’s if the cut goes smoothly than the construction doesn’t end up being an issue. The blended flavors on the front are holding steady, the finish is changing inclusive now with red pepper, light leather, and cashew.

2/3

At the start of the second third the cashew has moved to the front alongside the Cedar. The slight citrus note is still on the back, leather and white pepper now control the finish. That was a great really pronounced transition, great complexity at this point as well. Again, when the construction of the Davidoff’s are on point then the cigars are outstanding. The body is holding at a medium, the strength is still at a low. Not a razor sharp burn but I don’t see any touchups being needed. The ash held for about 2 inches but I would recommend knocking it off at 1 1/2 to avoid ashing on yourself. Good smoke output, nice and thick good mouth feel. Toward the end of the second third, the cashew has come up and the Cedar has dropped on the front. Finish still has a light white and red pepper and it is accompanied by the leather.

3/3

The body remains at a medium, and the strength has come up to a mild to medium. I am noticing that the smoke production has risen in the last third, which is actually a nice transition and is adding to the flavor profile. Cedar and white pepper are back up on the front, cashew has retreated back on the finish and the light red pepper tingle is back on the finish is well.

Smoke Time: 1 hour 35 minutes

Conclusion: 92

Great cigar solid profile, great transitions and complexity. Absolutely worth trying, this comes in right about at its price point. Good burn good construction, this is another Davidoff success. Box worthy if you find that the profile matches your palette. Wonderful balance of flavors, and the cashew acted as a great building point for the profile.
