What is it About Davidoff? - Page 2

Paul, you crack me up. :]

Should I take the bands off or leave them on when I bleach them?

I love Davi's for their complexity. It's a no fail situation with a Davi. I've never had one that didn't burn purfect, was veiny, or had a bad flavor. If I want something stronger, I'll go for a Fuente or Edge, but when I just want a great smoke, I grab Davidoffs.

Over priced macanudo, and their B&M sucks.

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

Oh and cuz I'm a snob.

groogs · 10-17-2008, 11:57 PM

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

Nutty. Yeah. Nutty.

FriskyDingo · 10-18-2008, 08:38 AM

I have never had a memorable Davidoff. The only thing I do remember is to never buy one for that price again.
Anyone had their Zino before? I had a B&M owner agree with me on the Davidoff's flavor/price area but tried to convince me to try Davidoff's Zino. Said they were worth it... any opinions?

Interesting discussion folks. As you would expect, everyones palate is different! Keep the info coming!

troutbreath · 10-18-2008, 08:52 AM

They really are a beautiful stick, regardless of vitola. The flavors may not knock you off your chair, but they are delicious. Great smokes, in general.

Too expensive to enjoy every day (at least for me), but they are a nice treat for special occasions. I keep a few Tubos in the humi for random great day.

Davidoff Winston Churchill series were the first cigars I purchased and were really good. I have to say consistency and good construction along with good taste. That said, I'm truly curious to see what will happen with the purchase of Camacho cigars.

I'm not a fan of the current Zino lineup, although I can remember smoking a few from time to time when I was a 19 year old punk.

I have had the regular Zino, and the Platinums and I thought they were both Horrid.

Thank god I didn't pay for them.

Padron42 · 10-18-2008, 11:57 PM

I've only had a few Davidoffs, but they are very good smokes. Incredibly consistent, good draw, and nice taste (a little mild for my tastes but good). If they were 5 dollar smokes I'd have several boxes, but at their price I probably won't buy another, since there are other alternatives at that price I like a lot more.

This whole conversation has me

....think I will go out and smoke one of those overpriced wonders. A Millennium Short Robusto might just do the trick.
