Cohiba Coronas Especiales vs Davidoff Signature No. 2

In this video we compare two cigars that share the same vitola, 6 inches by 38 ring gauge, known in Cuban factory terms as the Laguito No. 2.

It is a slender format that has become iconic for its elegance and the precision it demands from the roller. Thinner ring gauges like this tend to highlight the wrapper leaf and concentrate flavors, making construction quality even more important than on larger cigars.

The Davidoff Signature No. 2 is produced in the Dominican Republic and uses a Connecticut seed Ecuadorian wrapper over Dominican filler and binder. It is light in body, with a flavor profile that leans on creaminess, subtle spice, and floral notes. For many smokers, it is a morning cigar or an introduction to premium cigars thanks to its smooth character and refined aroma.

Cohiba Coronas Especiales, coming from Cuba, delivers a very different experience. Cohiba blends typically use select tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region, and the Coronas Especiales starts with some grassy and herbal notes before opening into the signature Cohiba profile of sweetness, cedar, and a touch of citrus. It develops more in the second half, showing why Cohiba remains Cuba’s flagship brand.

Price separates them as well. At around £30 the Davidoff is half the cost of the Cohiba, which sits close to £60 in the UK. Yet both offer exceptional craftsmanship, distinct profiles, and the elegance that only a Laguito No. 2 can deliver. The video explores construction, flavor development, and overall character to help you decide which suits your palate.
