NC Davidoffs

[JohnE1000]

I gotta try them

[Goldie]

I have never had the chance to smoke one, and just based on the price point, it will likely be a long time before I get the chance.

It is hard for me to justify spending so much on a cigar, but I guess if they are really this good, maybe it will be a good smoke for when I graduate next year. I have been thinking I would like to pick up something special for the occasion.

I guess I need to revisit these. The thousand series I've had were grassy as mentioned above so maybe I need to get some to age. The Millennium blends I've has were just ok but again very young. I will say the Maduro Robusto I had, thanks to PapaJohn, was fantastic.

You really need to sit on them for a time... it becomes a totally different cigar. I wanna try one at 5, 10, 20 years out... I wonder if they'll age as well as their habanos counterparts did.

I hear ya Drew....I can think of many other great smokes a half the retail of this stick. I can't justify the extra cost.

Your correct, their are ton's of really great sticks out there for far less $$'s. But they are not Davidoff's and if you have the itch you will pay dearly to scratch it. Recently broke out a Davidoff Especial Seleccion 702, OMG it was wonderful.

Love Davidoffs, but of course for the price they are a rare treat.

The few I have had were pretty good. When my mother passed away last year I received her humidor from my dad which contained a davidoff among other sticks. Not sure how old it was but it was by far my favorite. If I had to guess, it was atleast four years old.

Yes, the price on some of them are a real kick in the pants.

I pretty much agree. I like both the Davidoff and WC lines very much. They come off as cedary/leathery to me which I really like.

+1 on this. I really enjoy the Aniversario Line as well as the Original and the Thousands. Don't really care for the Millenium at all, like not even a little bit.

Came across a Puro d Oro Notables last week so I picked it up, smoked it tonight and have to say that I really enjoyed it. Not sure I will be stocking up on them but definitely worth the try.

Like srduggins I am kinda surprised to see so much love for davidoffs. On a few of the other boards I am on, people seem to hate on them quite a bit. So I have always stayed away from them.

I have only found one B&M that sells them near me, International tobacco in the king of prussia mall. I dont get down to the mall that often but when I get down there I like to stop in. Next time I am there I'll have to grab a few singles...

There are a lot of people who will love something while a lot that hate something. YOU need to decide for yourself, which is what is sounds like your gonna do!

The Millennium Blend is good, but too pricey.

[krevo]

The Zino line is light bodied, and cedary. It's not bad, but it's oh so one dimensional.

[srduggins]

I'm surprised to hear so many people liking these. I've always heard the exact opposite before. I've tried the Millenium series with some age - the pc - and was blown away. I tried a fresher one - robusto - and it wasn't nearly as good. I also tried the Gran Cru and noted the grassy flavor and thought it might be better with some rest. Good to hear that should be true. I was gifted a Puro D'Oro - thanks Jimmy - but was letting it rest a little before trying. It's probably time as it sounds like this one doesn't need to age like the others.

For a real treat, the Diademas Finas is superb.
