A well-known medium-bodied Robusto cigar, the Davidoff Aniversario Special R is praised for its harmonious blend of cedar, spice, and nut flavours. Because of its easy draw and steady, crisp finish, it is a favourite among both novices and seasoned enthusiasts.

Robusto is what the "R" in Special R stands for. The Dominican Republic is where this cigar is hand-rolled.

Cigar Authority has given the Aniversario series great ratings; one vitola has a rating of 91 points.

First Third: The cool draw of the cigar has a faint walnut undertone and a toasty scent. Thick and creamy, the first smoke has hints of soft walnut, toasted grain, and mild pepper.

Second Third: Citrus fruits, toasted nuts, and mild spice are added to the flavour profile. There can be a faint Dominican "mustiness" and a brief cinnamon undertone.

Last Third: Earthiness and stronger cedar wood notes become more prominent in the finish. A clear, well-balanced finish is provided by a little spiciness that lingers.
