Davidoff Puro Dominicano Corona Larga

The Davidoff Puro Dominicano Corona Larga is an exclusive format created specifically for the Puro Dominicano line—you will not find this shape anywhere else in the current Davidoff portfolio. Its dimensions carry profound meaning: the 44 ring gauge and 1.8 cm diameter symbolize 1844, the year of Dominican independence, honoring the cigar's deep roots in Dominican soil.

A Format With Purpose

The Corona Larga's narrower ring gauge and generous length create a fundamentally different smoking experience than its siblings. Where the Short Robusto delivers rapid flavor evolution and the Perfecto offers a distinctive arc from tapered foot to head, the Corona Larga unfolds with deliberate patience. The narrow gauge concentrates smoke, allowing aficionados to savor subtle transitions across 40 to 60 minutes of enjoyment.

A Gem Raised From the Ground

Inspired by the rare Dominican amber gemstone—a jewel formed over millions of years deep within the island's earth—the Puro Dominicano reveals extraordinary depth and warmth. The Corona Larga format allows this complexity to develop slowly, like light refracting through ancient amber.

Six Terroirs, One Pure Expression

Davidoff's Master Blenders created this unprecedented blend using tobaccos from six distinct Dominican growing regions:

Wrapper: Yamasá

Binder: Martín Garcia

Filler: Villa González, Mao, Piloto, Navarrete, Yamasá

Each terroir benefits from its own microclimate—from the humid valleys of Yamasá to the warm highlands of Mao. The combined age of these tobaccos exceeds 32 years, resulting in a full-bodied yet refined smoking experience worthy of Davidoff's highest standards.

The Taste Experience

First Third: The experience begins rich and inviting with notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, bread, and nuts. Sweet spice adds warmth while wood and vanilla lend subtle refinement. On the retrohale, peppery notes awaken the palate with lively finesse.

Second Third: Greater depth and complexity emerge as dried fruit, oak wood, and earth take center stage. Salted nuts add a refined savory edge while hints of vanilla and citrus bring elegant brightness. The retrohale develops floral nuance with roasted nuts.

Final Third: A creamy, rounded finale with leather and biscuit dominating, creating a luxurious, lingering mouthfeel. Mineral and salty notes enhance complexity while the retrohale reveals bread, bitter almond, and black pepper for a sophisticated close.

The Corona Larga's slower flavor progression allows each of these transitions to unfold more gradually, giving aficionados time to appreciate every nuance.

The Black Band Collection

The Black Band Collection is Davidoff's beating heart of innovation—pushing boundaries since Davidoff Nicaragua launched in 2013. The Puro Dominicano joins Davidoff Escurio and Davidoff Yamasá as a bold expression of Davidoff's commitment to discovery, while celebrating the brand's deep Dominican heritage.

Pairing Recommendations

The Corona Larga's extended smoking time pairs beautifully with a Velvet Ember cocktail—well-aged rum, PX sherry, Amaro, aromatic bitters, and orange peel. For a non-alcoholic option, try an Espresso Tonic—fresh espresso with chilled tonic water over ice, garnished with orange peel.

The Davidoff Puro Dominicano Corona Larga is available at The Tobacconist of Greenwich—Connecticut's premier destination for Davidoff Cigars since 1974.
