The mystique behind Davidoff cigars

Not a good image.


Anyway. I'm noticing many who really prefer cubans being the bigger davidoff fans.

Which could draw a few conclusions.

1. Davidoff does a good job of "imitating" Cuban taste.

2. The snob factor. "Cubans are rare and expensive like my precious davidoff. "

I'm sure there are a both but if I had to venture a guess with the botl here I'd go with the taste. The asylum isn't exactly a snobbery. Taste would also explain why I'm just a so so fan of davidoff. I prefer many nicaraguan, Dominican and honduran smokes to cubans. That's my taste.
