The Signature No. 2 showcases a beautiful coffee and cream colored wrapper with a shiny Claro shade featuring stunning golden reflections. The construction exemplifies Davidoff’s legendary quality standards, displaying nearly invisible veins and seams while offering a gentle spring over a firm body that demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship throughout.
The flavor journey begins with delicate oak wood notes intertwined with barley and toasted wheat aromas, complemented by tea with milk, forest floor, and sweet floral cedar characteristics. The second third develops smooth cream and brown sugar notes with floral spice accents, while white pepper emerges on the retrohale alongside luxurious creaminess that perfectly balances the tea and cedar backbone. The final third harmonizes soft cedar wood and dried fruit flavors with black pepper notes, creating a satisfying and sophisticated conclusion.
Despite its slender 38 ring gauge profile, this cigar produces surprisingly robust volumes of velvety, medium-bodied smoke through exceptional draw performance. The well-balanced profile combines mild strength with remarkable flavor complexity and body, making it equally appealing to newcomers and seasoned aficionados. Its versatile character pairs beautifully with morning coffee, evening champagne, or peated whisky, enhancing any special moment.

The Davidoff Signature #2 is for sure one of those iconic cigars. With good reason! Notes of cedar and nuts. Smooth as smooth can be. Epic pairing for those coffee drinkers and I can’t think of a better Sunday morning smoke with breakfast. Elegant and iconic. Flawless construction, draw and burn. A must try for those who appreciate what a good Connecticut has to offer.
