Default Davidoff Puro d'Oro

Anyone tried one of these? I was browsing around online and found them. Davidoffs are about the only non Cuban marca I seem to enjoy and was wondering if anyone's got any input on 'em. The website (of course) makes them sound like the best cigars ever rolled...

They have a corona sized one called the Deliciosos that looks like a size I'd actually enjoy. Due to the nature of Davidoff prices, though, I'd like to get some true testimonials before I leap.

Thanks!

I had one of these a few weeks back... price point, I think they are a bit cheaper than most of the Davidoff line. Strength wise, I think these are a bit more on the medium to full side. Flavor, was a very peppery, with a bit of citrus.

Not something I would smoke again, but worth a try. If I was to smoke a nc davidoff, I think I'll just go with the millennium series.

They're fantastic! These are definitely not your father's Davidoff white labels. They retain the distinctive Davidoff flavor profile and quality but are blended to appeal to a more mature, full-bodied-leaning palate. If you already enjoy Davidoffs, I think you'll be quite pleased with these

Got me interested! Had very few nc davidoffs in my cigar smoking time but enjoyed the few i've had. I think the special c (culebras) were my first of the marca.

and


(around $225-390 a box).

I did just see Sublimes (which are actually panatelas...) they are the $225/box one...

Here's the page I'm getting those prices from:

I have been smoking the Notables and the Magnificos lately and I like them both a lot. Interestingly there are significant flavor differences between these two vitolas: the Notables is what I would call Bright with lots of citrus intense flavors, while the Magnifico is much more earthy and rich. Right now I am leaning towards a box of the Magnificos over the Notables.
