Davidoff Mini Cigarillos Silver 3 1/2″ * 20

A short, slim cigarillo built for a quick break, the Silver sits at the mildest end of the Davidoff Mini Cigarillos lineup that the brand has been producing since 1971.

The cigar pairs a Sumatra wrapper with a Java binder over a long-leaf filler of Brazilian and Indonesian tobacco. The tobaccos used in the line are dry-cured for several years and undergo a two-cycle fermentation before rolling. Production is handled in Europe in tinned formats. The Silver measures 3 1/2 by 20 and ships in tins of 20, sitting at the mild end of the body scale.

The flavor tends to lean toward cedar, light cream, and a soft toasty note up front, with subtle spice and dry wood through the middle before a clean, lightly sweet finish. The narrow 20 ring gauge keeps the wrapper character forward and the smoke output light, with each cigarillo running about 15 minutes from light to finish. The tin format is built for travel and protects the cigarillos without a separate humidor.

Pairings: espresso, café au lait, or dry Riesling.
