Davidoff Puro Dominicano Short Robusto

The Davidoff Puro Dominicano Short Robusto is the most accessible entry point into Davidoff's groundbreaking Puro Dominicano line—the first 100% Dominican puro in the Black Band Collection. This compact format delivers a faster flavor evolution, making it ideal for aficionados seeking an impactful, full-bodied experience in 30 to 45 minutes.

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 Short Robusto's generous 52 ring gauge allows the full complexity of the blend to express itself immediately, with rich flavors developing quickly across its compact length.

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 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 Short Robusto 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 Short Robusto is available at The Tobacconist of Greenwich—Connecticut's premier destination for Davidoff Cigars since 1974.
