Any Cigar Afficionados Out There?

[djhatman]

Have any of you ever smoked a Davidoff Cigar? If so what did you think of it and mostly is it worth the price? I will be starting my vacation (2 whole weeks) at the end of May and was wanting something special to kick it off with. If it helps I do enjoy more fuller body cigars. Thanks for any info.

Davidoff Dominican or from the little forbidden island off the coast of Florida?

Davidoff just depends on what you get. I always go for the robusto size as they seem to used their better tobaccos for that size. That doesn't mean the larger sizes are not good. It just means experience has given me a heads up. That is for nearly all brands though.

Davidoff has several good full bodied choices. Go with the Millenium for the rich and full bodied, Aniversario for full bodied and smooth and the Gran Cru which fits somewhere between. There is also the Special T and Double R.

Is it worth it? We'll you just have to try them and see if they are. Some are to me and others aren't. At about $30 a cigar for the Millenium blend, it can be pricy but I like them. However the Double R is about the same price and I wouldn't touch it---unless you want the short sizes which are considerably less. I just generally don't like to tell aficionados where to spend their cigar money.

The latest Davidoff Nicaragua seems to be stronger.

Especially the Millennium.

I mostly stick to pipe tobacco these days, but I like Fuente cigars. I intended on getting an Opus X for my 18th birthday, but didn't get to my tobacconist in time. I wound up buying a grape Phillies for my friend and I at a 7 eleven and smoking it at the foothills. I still have the tube it came in.

Grape Phillies?! :faint:

I'd think that Guinea Stinkers would be vastly preferable.

Actually, those little dried-up Parodis are really not a bad smoke. They're certainly cheap enough!

I stopped smoking a few years ago after being diagnosed with Cardiomegaly, an affliction which in the Nineteenth Century was known as "Smoker's Heart".

Was a heavy cigar smoker, generally ten to twelve Churchills a day. When I could still get them "Canaria 'd Oro" was my favorite, but I'd also put away bundle cigars, preferrably Dominican but I wasn't fussy. For a night out on the town a pack or Rigoletto Black Jacks would do if my supply was otherwise low. I couldn't abide most of the other "Two-for-five" cigars, things like King Edward, Phillies, and White Owl, but found smokes of the old "five-cent"class to be acceptable, particularly El-Producto Queens.

Gosh, what I wouldn't give for a cigar just now!

Wow! There is no way I would smoke that many cigars a day---even if you paid me. :doh:
