Smoke me slow! Seductive, smooth and full of rich floral flavors this cigar has the exact dimensions of the Especial Montecristo No.2. An excellent smoke, but unfairly unappreciated by the connoisseur, Du Dauphin has the reputation of being too woody and more suited to an experienced palate. I think its mix of sweet, subtle flavors and its woody after taste have their place in the grand scheme of things. A fast burn means that soft and irregular draws are best to express the greater qualities of this cigar. Not for beginners.
