Thanks Bryan.....Where is Addiction anyway?

I have some PC's from 03 & 05 and the 03's are pretty damn tasty, haven't gotten to the 05's yet.

The 100th Anni Diadema is one of the best damn cigars I have ever smoked. Friend of mine and fellow BOTL Frank "Jechelman" is in the same camp. I've got a box + 3 singles resting in the humi for special occasions. Priced at $20 + it makes it hard for them in many peoples eyes to stand up to many of the CC's but even if I were offered the choice between a Sig VI or a 100th Anni I would most likely grab the latter. Plus I don't have to worry about those black helicopters.

I've always wondered also but I've never tried one.

I'm always confused to what to try in their line with all the options and the price of each one to try. If I have a bad one at that price it will probably turn me off.

One day........

Most of the Davidoff's I have burned reminded me of a very, very good Macanudo Hyde Park as far a flavor but the construction and appearance is without equal.

I guess my only complaint is that you don't always get them with that clean white band that makes them look elegant.

I will be happy to trade you those dirty ones for some clean white new ones.

Paul, you crack me up. :]

Should I take the bands off or leave them on when I bleach them?

Nutty. Yeah. Nutty.

I have never had a memorable Davidoff. The only thing I do remember is to never buy one for that price again.
Anyone had their Zino before? I had a B&M owner agree with me on the Davidoff's flavor/price area but tried to convince me to try Davidoff's Zino. Said they were worth it... any opinions?

I'm not a fan of the current Zino lineup, although I can remember smoking a few from time to time when I was a 19 year old punk.

I love Davi's for their complexity. It's a no fail situation with a Davi. I've never had one that didn't burn purfect, was veiny, or had a bad flavor. If I want something stronger, I'll go for a Fuente or Edge, but when I just want a great smoke, I grab Davidoffs.

Davidoff Winston Churchill series were the first cigars I purchased and were really good. I have to say consistency and good construction along with good taste. That said, I'm truly curious to see what will happen with the purchase of Camacho cigars.
