what the wrapper usually brings

Davidoff Primeros uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Connecticut shade wrappers tend toward cream, cedar, nuts and a light, smooth finish. That is the leaf's general character, not a tasting note for this cigar.

How to smoke it

rules of thumb
  • Time: plan on about 45 minutes to 1 h 10 min for a 4.5-inch size.

  • Pair with: coffee with cream, a light beer, or a sparkling wine.
  • Pace: about a puff a minute keeps it cool and lets the flavors change from third to third. Do not inhale.
  • Before lighting: cut just above the cap line, toast the foot evenly, and take a cold draw to check it.
