Davidoff Yamasa Robusto

It took 20 years to develop the new Davidoff Yamasá . It all began with Master Blender Henke Kelner's seemingly impossible dream of transforming the inhospitable marshlands of the Yamasá region into a successful tobacco-growing area. Although everyone thought it was impossible, Henke persisted. He was unshakeable in his belief in the gifts of nature and the potential of the land.

Persistence that pays off

And he was right. In their endless quest to gift cigar aficionados with new flavours, experiences and delights, Henke Kelner and his team of experts have relentlessly nurtured and cultivated the soil of Yamasá, a soil that has been reluctant to change. When they realised that it contained too much sand and clay, they fertilised every single tobacco plant by hand with nitrate and calcium. As Henke himself puts it: "They kept going, kept going and kept going until it worked. Thanks to his determination, a journey into the world of the new Davidoff Yamasá series really is a journey to an unexplored planet.

An intense and inspiring flavour experience

This wonderful cigar presents itself to the aficionado in an appealing colour and shine. The Davidof Yamasá begins with an immediately noticeable, spicy Nicaraguan flavour. Delicate nutty flavours blend with aromas of coffee, cedar wood, earth and black pepper to enhance the aficionado's palate. The cigar has a deep and complex body that only reveals itself slowly. A perfect tobacco composition of elegant, mature Dominican filler tobaccos, the strong Yamasá binder leaf and the refined Yamasá wrapper leaf combined with the sweetness from Condega and the spice from Estelí create a completely new and inspiring flavour experience.

Pairing for whisky lovers

Davidoff Yamasá cigars, with their rich complexity, are best paired with a well-matured single malt whisky. The characteristic notes of the blend perfectly complement the deep flavours of the whisky.
