I see very little discussion on the Davidoff brand here and was wondering why. I've seen them advertised in a lot of cigar catalogs and know they are pricey. Does anybody smoke these sticks? Aren't they worth the coin?:dunno:

I personally think they are a bunch a coin for such a lite flavor smoke....even the Zino's do nothing for me. I hear the cuban Davidoff's are quite nice though....if you can find and afford them.
Wow, didn't take long for someone to throw the Tat-math out there!
Though the reasoning is sound. IMO - They are a poor VALUE... meaning you aren't getting what you are paying for. Especially if you are looking for more flavor.
Just one of a million opinions...

I like them, I won't dispute that they are pricey though.
I prefer the Millenium Blend because it is the fullest blend they offer.
I also like the Winston Churchill line, also pricey. They have a 5-pack tin they are now offering, the SpitFire - Winston Churchill blend with a Davidoff Millenium wrapper. It sells for $21.00 at my local B&M and it's a 4" x 38 cigar.

I think they have some of the best construction out there, that said I have never found one that I enjoyed. They have a very musty taste that I realy don't enjoy. I didn't make it half way through a winston churchill which I had high hopes for. I found the newest Avo LE to be one of the most complex cigars I have ever smoked but it still had the musty taste which brought it down quite a few points in my book. If the musty taste is something you enjoy or can get past then I would recomend them.
Loooooooooooooove Davidoffs. Lots of subtle flavors in there. The Mille series and Classic are a bit mild, but the Millenoums and Special series are awesome. and there Les... love 'em!
That said, other kelner freeks, there are a limited amount of colorado claro cigars coming out later this month or next, special series blend with an aged ec. conn wrapper. woot!

Love Davidoff blends too, but I shy away from the price except for special occasions... I was able to find a handfull of 3 or 4 year old Millenium lonsdales at $15 each? - I only ended up smoking one & gave/traded away the rest. Man they had nice yellow bands..
Avo 80th, Compenero, Specials, Milleniums, Winstons, etc... All very good.

Eh.. for the price no way. I will pay some major coinage for an proportional cigar, but Davidoff's kinda of miss that mark for me.
TedP, Davidoff's are very pricey, and can be a big pull for anyone. I personally buy them and put them to sleep. The sizes I typically go for are the 2000 and 3000, as they are two of my favorites. These cigars, in my opinion need to be aged, and smoked early in the day, first smoke works here. It is funny, I just recently finished my girlfriends 2000 the other night and forgot how fantastic these cigars are. Enjoy...

I don't disagree with you there Aaron, some people call that the "Kelner Trademark"....it's also why alot of people don't like PG's, that musky flavor/taste that they seem to have.

I keep trying them as I love the construction but just out of my flavour profile. I can see why people enjoy them and this really shows how a cigar can be very good and still get mixed reviews from many experienced smokers.
found out from the Schwartz. first i had heard.
