Full-bodied, sweet & aromatic

The 1878 Dark Roast combines Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos with a dark, oily Brazilian Maduro wrapper. This combination delivers a full-bodied flavour and depth. The flavour is reminiscent of strong espresso, dark chocolate and roasted nuts, accompanied by a gentle sweetness and subtle peppery notes. The coffee-infused flavour is distinct yet delicately balanced, ensuring the natural character of the tobacco is preserved.

Enjoyment & Character

From the very first puff, the PDR Café Flavor 1878 Dark Roast unfolds a dense, full-bodied smoke and intense aromas. Notes of espresso, cocoa and dark caramel come to the fore, followed by a warm spiciness and a slightly creamy undertone. As you smoke, a delicate balance of sweetness and bitterness develops, reminiscent of freshly brewed, dark-roast coffee. The burn is even, the ash firm and dark grey – a mark of quality reflecting the PDR factory’s excellent craftsmanship.

Perfect for an evening treat

This cigar really comes into its own when paired with a strong espresso, sweet rum or dark chocolate. The Dark Roast is aimed at connoisseurs seeking a full-bodied, aromatic smoking experience with depth, sweetness and spice – perfect for the evening or to round off a good meal.
