A Grand Cigar, 15th Mar 2017
Reviewer: The Cigar Authority
The cold draw of the Davidoff Grand Cru and the aroma off the foot are pretty much the same which were creamy and buttery. I was surprised that it took a couple of pulls to pick up that Henke trademark of barnyard notes, but it was there although not the focal point of the cigar.
Once the cigar is lit one doesn’t have to search far for the notes of earth and hay that are synonymous with Henke Kelner and Davidoff Cigars. Additionally, less than a half-inch to the experience known as Grand Cru some subtle cayenne spice begins to develop with the earthy components sliding into the background. The aroma of the cigar has a touch of licorice and cedar.
Moving into the second third of the cigar, some subtle spices stay with hints of butter and cream. As the cigar progresses past the half way point some wood begins to develop on the palate as well as the aroma. The cigar remains incredibly creamy and smooth with an enticing aromas and moderate finish.
The last third sees the wood notes move front and center, with some hints of earth and hay in the background. There are some subtle spices in the background which keeps things interesting. The retrohale of the cigar offers some strong cedar notes that are especially noticeable on the aroma and finish.
