\nA true Maduro is made of time \u2013 because time equals taste<\/strong><\/p>\n
To achieve the sweet notes which are typical for a true Maduro taste experience, Davidoff invested 16 months of fermentation and 2 years of ageing in this cigar. All formats are dressed in a dark Ecuadorian wrapper from the Corte #7 grade, which accounts for almost half of the overall aroma. This leaf grows on the upper part of the tobacco plant, where it receives the most sunlight, which results in a thicker structure. A leaf of this nature requires much more time to ferment naturally. Davidoff therefore doubled the fermentation period of Maduro’s wrapper leaf, thus creating a natural temperature increase in the fermentation pile tailored to the leaf. This heat ultimately leads to Maduro’s distinctive taste, which is sweeter, more sophisticated and more flavourful.<\/p>\n
“Time makes all the difference in our new Maduro line. We refrain from adding any external heat sources and allow nature and time to perfect the leaves in our expertly maintained fermentation pile. This labour- and time-intensive process, accompanied by extensive testing and followed by a long ageing phase, has resulted in a wonderfully refined cigar with a flavour profile and body that will be highly sought-after in the market. I am sure that our new <\/em>Maduro, in which we have invested so much dedication and knowledge, will fill our aficionados\u2019 time beautifully”<\/em>, says Edward Simon, CMO at Oettinger Davidoff.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Dav.jpg\")
