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

Scottw · 10-24-2008, 01:48 PM

Just picked up 3 tubos in a sampler, can;t wait to try them,

Never smoked one yet... I have one that was gifted to me by one of those fine BABTOLs in a bomb. I am saving it for a special day and then will burn it up.

Not worth the money IMO. They are one dimensional to me. It's a good one dimension, but not $15 worth.

BTW, if you all like Davidoff's that much you should really look into the Davidoff seconds:

Private Stock
Kelner Seconds
Occidental Reserve

IMO, these are just as good as the Davidoffs, at a 3rd of the price. And that's about how much they should cost.

Delicious, well-constructed smokes. Like the Special-R and Millineum. Cannot afford them too often, but they taste great when I light 'em up. I think I have 5 or 6 resting, just waiting for a special occasion.

The Maduro's are very young and have been notorious for having burn problems. The ones I have I'm letting sit for about 6 months and will revisit them.

After reading on here, I've been looking for some, but can only find cigarellos on the major sites. I guess I'll have to hope for some in a MAW someday.

Just a heads up to all the folks who like the Aniversario #3's (one of my favorite Davidoffs). They're now making them in 10 count boxes without tubos now. It saves you a buck or two per cigar.

My favorite Davidoff right now is anything in the Winston Churchill line. The first few boxes we received were a little green in my opinion. I picked up some grassy/earthy taste in there that reminded me of the Gran Cru line. Last couple shipments we received have been outstanding.

Your WC's arrived today. So was the 8 stick sampler made up from recent shipments?

BTW the Prometheus Legend is going to serve me well. What a deal!!

I love Davidoff, but I do think they can be a little expensive. When I look at the price I think "Davidoff or Cohiba" and Cohiba is a clear winner in that comparison.

Since I haven't had one, I'll have to go with not worth it. Just can't pull the trigger.

How can you pass judgement on a cigar you haven't had?

I've never had a Davidoff either -- so I can't make any kind of value judgement on the stick.

Like em' but not enough to pay out for them. However, their full-flavored cigarettes will straight up Terry Tate your ass. $4 per pack in NC but well worth it.
