Default Davidoff LE 2008 - Reserva 12

Thanks again to Papajohn(), I had the pleasure to smoke one of these and was incredibly impressed with it.

The Davidoff Limited Edition release for 2008, the Reserva 12, turned out to be absolutely fantastic. I'm amazed that I didn't get a hold of these for myself - I had been eyeballing them for some time but not having tried one, I decided to keep them under the radar.

This cigar is fairly full-flavored (but not a powerhouse, nor spicy) and its extremely complex. It has the most incredible creamy-sweet, "clean" aroma to it. Very elegant. Now and again, I get a tannic flavor; kind of like the "oakiness" you sometimes find in full-bodied rums.

This is just a great example of a Davidoff LE release. Behind the 2002 Special 53 (my personal, overall Davidoff "Holy Grail"), the 100th Anniversaries, and the 2007 Puro Robustos/Perfectos, this is probably my favorite of the LE releases; definitely one of their better blends!!
