The verdict
The Davidoff Aniversario Double R is approachable and beginner-friendly from Davidoff's Aniversario line. It's a Dominican Republic (New World) churchill wrapped in Ecuador Connecticut Shade at 7.5 in × 50.
On the palate, expect cream, cedar, and leather, leaning creamy. Plan on roughly 85 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee, cognac, and single malt. If you're newer to cigars, this is a safe, enjoyable pick.
The Double R is the flagship of the Aniversario line and one of Davidoff's great showpiece cigars: a full 7.5-inch churchill at a 50 ring gauge. This is the size to reach for when you want to mark something — a long, luxurious smoke that embodies why the line exists.
What it tastes like
The extra-aged, golden Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper covers vintage Dominican tobaccos for a smooth, refined mild-to-medium experience. Cream and cedar open it, with leather, toasted nut, and a gentle pepper note emerging across its considerable length. With this much cigar, the flavors evolve gradually and reward patience — there's no rush and no rough edge.
Who it's for
This is a connoisseur's cigar, best for aficionados who can dedicate a couple of hours and want Davidoff at its most ceremonial. Pair it with a coffee, a cognac, or a fine single malt.
If the full churchill is more time than you have, the same blend lives in the Davidoff Aniversario No. 3 toro and the Davidoff Aniversario Special R robusto. For storing a cigar of this stature properly, see how to store cigars without a humidor, then log it in the Casa DNC app.
