Davtian Habana Torpedo Rojizo. The brand was founded by the Armenian businessman and cigars aficionado David Davtian in 2011. That was 8 years after Davtian became a retailer and distributor for several Non-Cuban brands for Armenia. And five years after he became the chairman of the Armenian Association. He traveled to all the cigar producing countries in the Caribbean and decided that the Dominican Republic would be the country for his own brand. Davtian Cigars was born. Last may, we reviewed the Davtian Primus Robusto Gordo.
There isn’t a lot of information about Davtian cigars on the web. None of the other major cigar media outlets have articles on the brand. And the Davtian website does offer some information, but not all. It took some digging to found out that the cigars are made at El Puente Cigar Factory. And the information for the blend is more detailed than with most producers. Yet the information from what country the tobaccos come from is lacking. The information is too detailed for most cigar smokers in our opinion.

The review
The cigar has a rough looking wrapper. Leathery, dry, yet not unappealing. The tip of the torpedo leans a bit to the right though. The burgundy and silver ring looks good, high quality paper and printing. The logo is very detailed. The cigar has a strong barnyard, manure and hay aroma. It feels evenly packed with the right amount of sponginess.
The cold draw is great. The cigar has the flavors of raw tobacco, but with a mild, marzipan-like, sweetness. After lighting there’s a sweet coffee. Yet the cigar keeps dying. Once that is solved, the flavors are dry. Mild spicy, like gingerbread, with toast and leather.And then, after twenty minutes, a hefty pepper shows up. Red pepper, that makes the lips tingle. The flavors then evolve to leather, soil, pepper and a little sourness. Not citrus acidity, but more sour. The cigar is nothing more than decent at this point. With a mild buttery mouthfeel. The cigar turns dry. With leather, pepper, green herbs, and a little sweetness. The mouthfeel is very dry too. In the final third, the cigar gets stronger, yet sweeter. With more pepper, leather and dry tobacco. Theres even a little woody flavor in the final third.
The cigar keeps dying in the beginning. It has to be relit over and over again before it finally stays lit. The cigars were stored in perfect humidity, so it’s not an over or under humidification issue. The draw is great. The smoke is light gray. It’s also thick and voluminous. The ash is light gray, its a little flaky yet firm. The burn needs to be corrected on several occasions. This cigar is medium full bodied and medium flavored. The smoke time is two hours and fifteen minutes.
