What is it About Davidoff?

Never had one but it was Gordon Gekko's favorite in Wall St.

I think Ji summed it up perfectly. Even though I agree that Davidoffs are pricey, for me, it's more than worth it. For the experience it provides me, there is no other cigar that comes close.

If you're looking to get kicked in the nuts by a cigar's strength, move past the Davidoffs. They're exceptionally complex, filled with subtlety and nuance, and a cigar that is best enjoyed when you have quality time to dedicate to it.

I've NEVER been dissapointed by a single Davidoff. Ever. But I've been dissapointed by every other cigar at one time or another. At the risk of sounding too cerebral, I literally find myself having a real experience everytime I light one up. Just like really good cooking, you can taste the love that was put into these cigars. Its all in the construction, aroma, taste, burn qualities, strength, and overall character.

My tastes are wide-ranging. From Macanudo Gold Labels to Illusione Holy Lances. But if I fire up a Davidoff, it's because I have time to really sit down and spend some quiet time, contemplating the days events, and enjoy one. And in the end, it's all about the experience and enjoyment a cigar provides you.

Honestly though, I can see how smoking one knowing how much you paid for it, could actually distract from the enjoyment of it

The thousand and clasics are flavorfull but mild. The special serise and millenium lines are more of a medinum body with lots of flavor. Then you have the Limited Editions which are just amazing in both flavor and strenght. I agree that they are not for everyone but as stated above if you have the time and money I don't think you will be disappointed with the flavor.

just my
