1st Cuban Davidoff

This guy has a few boxes, Sorry about that !

Wong and his son Alex, 26, are part of a small group of Hong Kong Chinese who are incredible cigar aficionados. Their collections, as well as knowledge, are second to none. Just consider the walk-in humidor of the Wong family: it's about 20 feet long by 10 feet wide with two levels, humidity- and temperature- controlled, and packed to the ceiling with boxes of Cuban Davidoffs, Cuban Dunhills, pre-Castro cigars and rare limited-edition humidors from the island. Hell, I don't think even the Davidoff or Dunhill shops in London had such a stock when their namesake Cuban cigars were freely available in the market at the beginning of the 1990s.

But the Wongs are not the only cigar connoisseurs in Hong Kong. I have also met a real estate and entertainment tycoon, Peter Lam, 47, whose nickname should be "Mr. Dunhill Cabinetta" or, better, "The 100-point smoker." He apparently has close to 100 boxes of Dunhill Cabinettas in his walk-in humidor -- not to mention hundreds of Davidoffs as well as 1492 Humidors and 30th Anniversary Humidors. He's seldom seen around town without a 100-point cigar smoldering in his fist.

I don't think it was posted as a source but, as a peice of literature related to this post. :sign:

Edited to say....... Nice Atuck, I think I speak for everyone when I say I had to wipe the drool off my shirt.

Regardless, it was a source.

edit: and all it was, was a CA article re-posted on the source's site.
 
Cuban Dunhills have held up much better over the years, IMHO. I've had a number of Davidoffs, and while they are nice smokes, I think the most interesting thing about the experience is smoking a rarity.


Definetly agreed!
 
Can anyone beside me remember reading an article a couple of years ago in a cigar magazine about Davidoff. It was an interview with some Cuban makers where they said that as far as they are concerned it will be a cold day in hell before Davidoff gets to make any more Cuban tobacco cigars. I wonder if the story is true and if the company is presently turning out Cuban tobacco cigars. I am not sure what caused the bad will between Davidoff and the Cuban tobacco companies. ???
