Default Re: Davidoff Review: first impressions

This one is burning down quickly! I just finished my first post and realized I'm already getting towards the halfway mark.



The flavor hasn't changed much, which is a good thing, because I'm really enjoying the flavor of this cigar. It's a little on the mild side for me, but the balance of the blend is just perfect.

The only criticism I can come up with, is that there really isn't a "signature" flavor here that I can distinguish. For example, a Don Carlos has an unmistakable blend of sweet cinnamon balanced against a hefty amount of cedar, or when you light a Padron. You don't need to be told it's a Padron because they all have that dry cocoa mouth feel and weird "pumpkin spice" flavor that sets them apart from any other cigar.

This Davidoff is a wonderful smoke, but I'm not convinced I could pick it out blind, which for me, is the difference between an 'A' and an 'A+' so to speak. Nevertheless, this cigar has definitely been a pleasure to smoke so far.
