What is it About Davidoff?

[RHNewfie]

I never understood the fascination with them. Had one a long time ago, probably before I understood what a "good cigar" was but I dont remember it being that memorable.

Tell me what you like about them...

Thanks!!

Perfect construction, perfect burn, perfect draw, and typically pretty durn tasty. I haven't enjoyed every Davidoff product that I've smoked as much as the one's that are really on, but I've never had one that was bad.

Worth the price point? That's a good question.

I have a box of 100th Anni Diadema Finas (10)
that I haven't smoked one yert but they have to be the best looking cigar I have ever seen. Flawless.
Thanks Bryan.....Where is Addiction anyway?

I have some PC's from 03 & 05 and the 03's are pretty damn tasty, haven't gotten to the 05's yet.

I have a box of the 100 anny robustos, haven't brought myself to light one up yet... wish I had a box of the diademas too

What is the typical flavor profile? Much variation between the different blends etc or is there a consistent core flavor?

Nutty, creamy, sweet, with herbs thrown in here and there.

Grassy. My FIL loves them for their grassy flavor. I had a millenium lancero that was great. Tasted like grassy chocolate.

I've smoked one or two, but never overwhelmed... a lot pricey IMO.

Quality stuff, no doubt.... just not my cup of tea, I remember the ones I smoked being a little mild for my taste. If I want a nice mild cigar, give me a Casa Torano with a cup of coffee in the AM.... nice

I've smoked 2 from my box. Both damn good.

I smoke one a year on my wedding anniversary (give or take a day depending on circumstances).

The 100th Anni Diadema is one of the best damn cigars I have ever smoked. Friend of mine and fellow BOTL Frank "Jechelman" is in the same camp. I've got a box + 3 singles resting in the humi for special occasions. Priced at $20 + it makes it hard for them in many peoples eyes to stand up to many of the CC's but even if I were offered the choice between a Sig VI or a 100th Anni I would most likely grab the latter. Plus I don't have to worry about those black helicopters.

I've always wondered also but I've never tried one.

I'm always confused to what to try in their line with all the options and the price of each one to try. If I have a bad one at that price it will probably turn me off.

One day........

Most of the Davidoff's I have burned reminded me of a very, very good Macanudo Hyde Park as far a flavor but the construction and appearance is without equal.

I guess my only complaint is that you don't always get them with that clean white band that makes them look elegant.

Oh and cuz I'm a snob.

[groogs]

I have never had one, so I have no idea what is so good about them. At the local prices I probably never will.

Well, I will certainly agree on that they have perfect construction and an elegant aroma. BUT, they are terribly overpriced for what you get taste-wise! Davidoff appeals to the casual consumer with lots of money. The brand, like Cuban Cohiba and Montecristo, is meant to be expensive but unlike the Cuban brands mentioned, you hardly get anything for your money!

The only Davidoff that I enjoy is Millenium Petit Corona.

Ive got one with almost 4 years on it, I should try it see if its truely up to stuff or not!
