Craftsmanship and Heritage
The Grand Cru series traces its origins to 1946 when Zino Davidoff sought to create a cigar line inspired by the sophistication of Bordeaux wines. The No. 3, with its higher leaf density and a significant percentage of Dominican Piloto tobaccos, emphasises the spicy components of this complex blend, offering a slightly bolder yet refined smoking experience.
Ideal Pairings
This cigar pairs exceptionally well with Bordeaux wines, where the bold spice and peppery notes complement the wine's flavourful tannins, enhancing the overall tasting experience.
