At Cigar Island, we know that life sometimes asks you to pick up the pace, even when your soul wants nothing more than to linger in the ocean breeze. We don’t always have an hour to dedicate to a full-sized Robusto or Churchill, but why should a shorter time frame mean compromising on luxury?
The answer sits right here in a compact, travel-ready format: Davidoff’s premium Tins. Far from ordinary quick-smokes, these small-format masterpieces are hand-crafted, bite-sized expressions of Davidoff's most celebrated and prestigious blends. Whether you’re catching a 20-minute sunset, taking a break on the patio, or winding down between island activities, these tins offer the uncompromising luxury and complexity of a full-size cigar in a fraction of the time.
Let’s explore four exceptional Davidoff tins—available right here at Cigar Island—that deserve a permanent spot in your collection:
Davidoff Primeros Dominican (Tin of 6)
For those who want to savor the classic, world-renowned Dominican elegance that made Davidoff a legend, the Primeros Dominican is your perfect getaway.
Famous for its signature smoothness and rich, creamy character, this blend offers a gentle, sophisticated journey. Expect a beautifully balanced profile of sweet cream, cedar, and a very subtle touch of spice. It’s the ultimate morning or early-afternoon smoke—ideal for pairing with a fresh coffee as you watch the tide roll in.
Davidoff Primeros Dominican Maduro (Tin of 6)
If you appreciate the elegant Dominican foundation but crave a bit more depth and natural sweetness, look no further than the Primeros Dominican Maduro.
This blend takes the exceptional Primeros core and wraps it in a darker, richer Maduro leaf. The result is a slightly more robust experience that introduces notes of rich cocoa, dark earth, and a subtle, natural sweetness. It is a fantastic choice for a post-lunch pause or a late-afternoon retreat, giving you all the satisfying complexity of a dark wrapper without the heavy time commitment.
Davidoff Primeros Escurio (Tin of 6)
Want to add some vibrant, lively energy to your day? The Davidoff Primeros Escurio is an adventurous tropical escape in its own right.
Inspired by the spirit and soul of Brazil, the Escurio blend combines spicy Brazilian Cubra and sweet Mata Fina tobaccos, all beneath a gorgeous Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. From the very first draw, it delivers a dynamic, entertaining profile with notes of oak, licorice, salt, leather, and coffee. If you're looking for a short smoke with a spicy-sweet personality that punches well above its size, this is the one.
Winston Churchill "The Late Hour" Tins
When the sun starts to dip below the horizon and you want a truly robust, deeply contemplative experience, the Winston Churchill "The Late Hour" Series is unmatched.
This legendary blend is celebrated for its remarkable depth, achieved in part by aging rich Nicaraguan Condega visus tobacco in fine single malt Scotch whisky casks for six months. This unique process imparts incredible complexity, with notes of dark chocolate, oak, black pepper, malt, and leather.
Offered in two highly convenient tin formats at Cigar Island:
-
Petit Panetela (Tin of 5): A slim, focused smoke that delivers intense, concentrated flavors in about 15-20 minutes.
-
Belicoso (Tin of 4): A slightly thicker format with a tapered head, offering a fuller, creamier, and more rounded expression of this legendary blend for a 20-30 minute escape.
Both options provide a full-bodied, satisfying experience that pairs beautifully with a fine aged rum, a neat bourbon, or the dark of night.
