The mystique behind Davidoff cigars

That would be me But I'm a Davi whore to begin with.

For me, Davidoffs are a thing of beauty. It's all about subtlety with these cigars. Even though I agree that Davidoffs are pricey, for me, it's more than worth it. For the experience it provides me, there is no other cigar that comes close.

If you're looking to get kicked in the nuts by a cigar's strength, move past the Davidoffs. They're exceptionally complex, filled with subtlety and nuance, and a cigar that is best enjoyed when you have quality time to dedicate to it.

I've NEVER been dissapointed by a single Davidoff. Ever. But I've been dissapointed by every other cigar at one time or another. At the risk of sounding too cerebral, I literally find myself having a real experience everytime I light one up. Just like really good cooking, you can taste the love that was put into these cigars. Its all in the construction, aroma, taste, burn qualities, strength, and overall character.

My tastes are wide-ranging. From Macanudo Gold Labels to Illusione Holy Lances. But if I fire up a Davidoff, it's because I have time to really sit down and spend some quiet time, contemplate the days events, and enjoy one. And in the end, it's all about the experience and enjoyment a cigar provides you.

Honestly though, I can see how smoking one knowing how much you paid for it, could actually distract from the enjoyment of it.

amen. i have a short list of davis i've tried, all of which have been amazing, but i try my best to keep price and smoking experience separate. i had a special r on my birthday sitting at a cigar bar with my best friend and it was the best compliment to the situation. does that mean any cigar would have tasted great then? probably. but this was so delicious im glad i picked it out. every davi i've smoked has been around friends on special occasions, could be why i think of them so fondly

my two cents
