In my experience, all things made by Davidoff have a signature "mustiness" to them. I actually find it to be wonderful and somewhat indicative of the age of the tobaccos in the blend. But I can see why it might have been off-putting for you.

While I like the Winston Churchill series from Davidoff, I do find it to be much richer than expected. Not spicy per se, nor overpowering. But definately fuller; richer.

As long as your humidor is operating as it should, I'd let the other one rest for a bit (sounds like you plan to) if for no other reason than to stabilize a tad. I'm hopeful that the next time you light up the cigar, it will be a much better experience!

At 1st blush like sucking down stale beer.....love the WC's.
