The verdict
The Davidoff Aniversario No. 2 is approachable and beginner-friendly from Davidoff's Aniversario line. It's a Dominican Republic (New World) lonsdale wrapped in Ecuador Connecticut Shade at 7 in × 48.
On the palate, expect cream, leather, and nuts, leaning creamy. Plan on roughly 75 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee, cognac, and champagne. If you're newer to cigars, this is a safe, enjoyable pick.
The Aniversario line was created to mark Zino Davidoff's 80th birthday, and it remains the brand's tribute to grand-format, occasion-worthy cigars. The No. 2 is a long, dignified 7-inch smoke at a 48 ring gauge — a shape built for unhurried enjoyment.
What it tastes like
Aniversario uses an extra-aged, golden Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper over vintage Dominican tobaccos, and the payoff is a refined mild-to-medium smoke. Delicate cream and toasted nuts lead, with leather, cedar, and a light black-pepper accent rounding it out. The generous length gives the flavors plenty of room to evolve slowly, which is the whole point of a cigar like this.
Who it's for
This is one for aficionados who appreciate a long, contemplative smoke and a wrapper that's been aged to perfection. Set aside 90 minutes and pair it with a coffee or a fine cognac.
If the full hour-and-a-half feels like a lot, the Davidoff Aniversario No. 3 delivers the same blend in a toro, while the Davidoff Aniversario Special R is the quick robusto version.
