Casdagli D’Boiss DB52
The D’Boiss DB52 stands out in the Casdagli portfolio as an homage to elite poker nights and classic Cuban sophistication, created in collaboration with Estonia’s D’Boiss cigar club. Handcrafted at IGM Cigars in Costa Rica, this 4 3/4 x 52 robusto recalls vintage Havana elegance—layered, creamy, and nuanced for discerning palates. The Ecuador Claro Colorado wrapper is seamless and luminous, offering a refined cedar backbone that pairs naturally with honey, cashew, and almond aromas. Fans of classic, box-worthy cigars consistently praise the DB52 for its cubanesque flavor and luxury presentation.

- Wrapper: Ecuador Claro Colorado—delicate sweetness and cedar balance
- Binder & Filler: Costa Rican—adds creamy complexity, subtle bread and nut notes
- Flavors: sweet bread, vanilla, honey, nougat, cashew butter, hay, almond, cream, cedar, light fruitiness
- Medium-plus body: richly nuanced but never overpowering; perfect for any time of day, especially late morning or early evening
- Impeccable construction: cool draw, thick smoke, elegant mouthfeel; some experience mild, wavy burns—easily managed

Upon lighting, the DB52 opens with a tapestry of bakery notes—sweet bread and creamy vanilla, quickly joined by honey and nougat. Almond, cashew butter, cedar, and fruitiness develop as the cigar progresses, with occasional hints of hay and gentle spice rounding out the finish. The blend delivers a cubanesque “twang” and retrohale reminiscent of classic Habanos, complemented by solid construction and a refined, box-worthy aesthetic. Dry boxing and touch-ups may help manage occasional waviness, but the core smoking experience is consistently enjoyable.

The D’Boiss is absolutely a box worthy stick! Elegant smoking experience with flavors that will have you wanting to light another one up once you’re finished. Sweet bread, vanilla, butter, cream and a bit of that Cuban twang. A must smoke from Casdagli, no surprise.

Really one of my favorite cigars. There was a great price on them so no brainer to buy some. Just wish I could afford to buy a box of them.

This cigar had some good flavors but it wasn’t my favorite. Pretty plugged so I had to use a perfect draw and the draw still was not ideal. Flavors were actually great, maybe it was just a bad stick.

The Casdagli D’Boiss DB52 offers a smooth smoking experience with sweet notes of butter, honey and cedar that really stand out. This cigar is easily one of the best from Casdagli and has become one of my personal favorites. It’s a beautiful and well-crafted smoke!

I only had one a while ago, but it was enough to make me want a box. These cigars are a little different for Casdagli and have been somewhat divisive. I can say for my palate it offers a smooth, nutty and medium plus profile that hits the spot.

I’ve had a few of these now and can say they are phenomenal cigars! Casdagli knows how to roll them and blend them, and this is no exception. The rapper has a very beautiful color and Sheen to it, and the cigar is very well rolled. On a cold draw I don’t really get much resistance, which is usually a bad thing but it tightens up a little bit after you light the cigar. I’m met with very soft and elegant notes before lighting it up.
There are a lot of subtle flavors in here, with a fruity sweetness and a hint of spice on the retrohale. Lots of buttery, creaminess to the smoke. It’s really thick and coats my mouth very well. This is definitely one of those cigars you can enjoy anytime of the Day.
The only thing detracting from it is that every one of them that I have smoked needs to be touched up. The burn is really wavy every time. This could be corrected with a little bit of dry boxing ahead of time, but I almost always just pull these straight out and spoke them on the spot. Regardless, these are phenomenal cigars! If you like Casdagli, you’ll enjoy these.

I’ve absolutely loved everything I’ve smoked from Casdagli and this was no exception. The flavors absolutely pop in this. Warm bread, honey, cashew butter and hay. There is a sweet cedar on this as well. Finish was super clean. Construction on this was impeccable. Everything about this screams ultra premium cigar. This does remind me very much of a classic Cuban cigar flavor as well. This is 100% box worthy.
