The Diadema is the showpiece of Davidoff's Nicaragua line: a 6½ by 50 figurado tapered at both the head and the foot. That double-taper isn't just dramatic to look at — it shapes how the cigar smokes, starting narrow and focused before opening into the full body of the blend.

What it tastes like

This is the same all-Nicaraguan puro as the rest of the line, built on a Habano Rosado wrapper aged for ten years. Expect espresso, black pepper, dark chocolate, cedar, and earth, delivered at a confident medium-to-full. The figurado shape concentrates the smoke through the pointed head, giving the opening third extra intensity before it settles into Davidoff's signature balance.

Who it's for

This one is for aficionados who love a beautifully made figurado and aren't shy about Nicaraguan strength. The tapered head needs a careful, conservative cut — see how to cut a cigar before lighting.

If you prefer a straight shape on the same blend, reach for the Davidoff Nicaragua Toro or the shorter Davidoff Nicaragua Robusto. To compare this tobacco with Cuban leaf, see our Cuban vs Nicaraguan guide, then log it in the Casa DNC app.
