As expected from Davidoff, the construction was excellent and the draw pretty good - I guillotine cut this and it took me c35-40 minutes to smoke it at a very leisurely pace. It held the ash well, departing after about an inch accumulated on the foot. Although the construction, draw and overall aesthetic of the cigar was good, the taste aspect let it down. No real flavour notes to mention, just a reasonably pleasant medium strength tobacco flavour. I've had much more satisfying and complex cigars at this price point so this was disappointing, especially as Davidoff is one of my favourite brands.

Really enjoyed this smaller cigar. Definitely full flavoured so not for those who prefer something lighter or not strong. Burnt evenly. One of the best cigars I’ve had recently but then I’m no expert.

Good flavoured medium strength cigar, fairly well built but had to relight a couple of times in the first third as you need to puff frequently.
Lots of creamy smoke per puff makes this a satisfying smoke for anyone as there is not much spice all the way through.
I took my time with this cigar taking me 70 minutes to finish it all the way to the nub.
Most enjoyable smoke.

Tried one of these this evening as a Christmas Eve treat. It had a very strong flavour of artificial sweetener, and unfortunately I did not taste anything else. The burn was a little uneven but not too bad. The draw was very loose, but again it could have been worse by being too tight. It's construction was superb, very well made. So just disappointing that I got absolutely no flavours from it until the last 5 puffs where I got a tiny hint of spice.

A fantastic 30 minute smoke, gorgeous cigar, have been smoking these for years.

I'm easing my way back into cigars after a on/off 10 year hiatus. I don't smoke anymore so they sort of fell to the wayside and bar a few sticks in holiday over the years I've not really indulged. Since the price of Cubans has gone up quite a lot in the last 10 years I decided to dip my toe in the 'New World' arena of smokes. This cigar was my first try and I was very pleasantly surprised. First off, clearly been stored perfectly. It was springy yet firm to the touch and smelt great. On first light it was quite bitter and I could tell that there was an underlying flavour there but the bitterness was rather over powering. However, after about 5 mins the cigar completely changed and became almost toffee/caramel tasting and really got better the further down I smoked it. The last third was powerful and rich, very woody with hints of earth and tasted like I was smoking nature, which was incredible. I have another one with the darker wrapper which I'll have at a party next week. I only hope it is as good.
