The Davidoff Escurio 10th Anniversary Limited Edition is a 6 x 56 toro extra that uses a four-year-old Ecuadorian wrapper over a nine-year-old Brazilian binder and a filler made up of one Brazilian leaf and four different leaves from the Dominican Republic. On paper, this is similar to the regular production Escurio line though not identical. Notably, one of the Dominican fillers was aged in bourbon barrels.

 Escurio was the second release in Davidoff’s Black Band Collection, which consists of Davidoff Nicaragua, Escurio and Yamasa. All of the cigars feature silver-on-black main bands instead of the traditional gold-on-white bands used by other Davidoff-branded.

“Our large and diverse inventory facilitated the creation of this special cigar,” said Edward Simon, chief marketing officer at Oettinger Davidoff, in a press release. “By adding our well-aged Brazilian tobaccos, we not only distinguish ourselves in terms of stock, but in terms of a unique taste experience where the spicy Brazilian tobaccos dynamically mingle with the creamy Dominican tobaccos. For extra depth, we have fermented one of the Dominican fillers in a bourbon cask, which gives the cigar a beautiful sweetness.”
