Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Davidoff Millennium, and how did it come about?
The Davidoff Millennium Blend Series launched in 2001, following a 1999 limited edition perfecto set released to mark the new millennium. Davidoff's master blenders went through 300 trial blends before settling on the final recipe, centered on a proprietary hybrid wrapper leaf — designated "151" — that took years to develop in Ecuador.
What is the Davidoff Millennium made of?
Wrapper: Ecuadorian "151" hybrid Connecticut — a sun-grown proprietary leaf darker than any other in Davidoff's white label lineup. Binder: Dominican. Filler: Dominican Seco and Ligero long-fillers, aged four years. All tobacco is produced at Cigars Davidoff in the Dominican Republic.
How strong is the Davidoff Millennium?
Medium-bodied — meaningfully stronger and richer than the Grand Cru, Signature, or Aniversario lines, but not as bold as the Black Label releases like the Yamasa or Nicaragua. Cigar Aficionado called the Robusto the best non-Cuban Davidoff ever made: rich, strong, and wonderfully complex.
What does the Davidoff Millennium taste like?
The profile opens with coffee, hazelnut, and dark chocolate, transitioning to leather, cedar, and pepper. Cigar Aficionado's Piramide review noted maple candy, coffee bean, and dark chocolate. The 151 wrapper contributes a unique depth and sweetness that the standard Connecticut shade wrappers in the white label line don't deliver.
What sizes does Renegade Cigars carry for the Davidoff Millennium, and what do they cost?
We carry six sizes: Petite Corona (1ct) at $19.70, Short Robusto (1ct) at $26.40, Robusto (1ct) at $30.70, Robusto Tubo at $31.50, Toro (1ct) at $34.90, and Piramide (1ct) at $36.30. Multi-packs and boxes are available in most formats.
What makes the Davidoff Millennium 151 wrapper different?
The 151 is a proprietary hybrid seed developed exclusively for Davidoff after 300 trials. It's grown under direct sunlight in Ecuador — unlike the shade-grown Connecticut leaf used on Grand Cru, Signature, and Aniversario — which produces a darker color, more oil, and a richer, more complex flavor profile. No other Davidoff line uses this leaf.
How does the Davidoff Millennium compare to the Davidoff Grand Cru?
The Grand Cru uses a shade-grown Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and comes in at mild to medium. The Millennium uses the sun-grown 151 wrapper and runs medium. The Millennium is noticeably darker, bolder, and more complex — coffee and chocolate versus cedar and cream. Both are white label line cigars, but they smoke like different categories.
Is the Davidoff Millennium a good step up from Davidoff's milder lines?
It's the natural next step. If you've been smoking Grand Cru or Signature and want more body without leaving the Davidoff portfolio, Millennium is the answer. The Short Robusto at $26.40 is the easiest entry point — approachable size, full expression of the 151 wrapper, and a shorter time commitment.
