This cigar is fairly full-flavored (but not a powerhouse, nor spicy) and its extremely complex. It has the most incredible creamy-sweet, "clean" aroma to it. Very elegant. Now and again, I get a tannic flavor; kind of like the "oakiness" you sometimes find in full-bodied rums.

This is just a great example of a Davidoff LE release. Behind the 2002 Special 53 (my personal, overall Davidoff "Holy Grail"), the 100th Anniversaries, and the 2007 Puro Robustos/Perfectos, this is probably my favorite of the LE releases; definitely one of their better blends!!

Thanks for the review, Bill! Love The Davidoff line! Any ideas on where I can buy a 5'er?
