Davidoff - Like, Love, or not worth the money?

Davidoff was my first cigar (well, their Winston Churchill series anyways) and I always enjoy them. I do find them pricey and sometimes wonder about that but I do know that I always get good consistency from them. I do think that it's worth paying for that consistency and, IMO, makes that worth it. Granted, if I have to choose between say a Davidoff or an Arturo Fuente, well.. that usually means the AF will win.

CigarDoc, where did you get the Reserva 12? I haven't seen them, even in the Davidoff official stores here in NYC.

I enjoyed the Maduro as well as the Millenium... pricey though...

The NC Davidoffs are way hit-and-miss for me. I find the Winston Churchills to be more consistent, but probably $3-4 overpriced (per stick). Don't get me started on how bad the Zinos are.

It is kind of interesting all the most recent talks about possible removal of the embargo in that almost no one has talked about what it will do to pricing, and hence viability, of the NC market. I think the NC Davidoffs would disappear relatively quickly.

The simplest way I can say this is if someone were to gift one to me I definitely wouldn't mind smoking it. I cannot justify paying the sticker price myself. There are too many other cigars I could get multiples of for the price of a single Davidoff.

Not necessarily. I think that the manufacturers have shown that NC cigars can compete well enough. Perhaps with the extra competition we'll see a lowering of prices on the NCs.

Jack Schwartz has the R-12 @$18.75 a pop.

BTW I am hooked on the Millenniums and at my age I really do not care anymore what they cost. I should have invested in Davidoffs, filled my humi to the brim and called it my IRA....hell I could have ended up broke but still had some fine cigars to smoke while trying to sell apples on the street corner.
