Growing too fast.
I received this cigar from Lou (Lou Tam) a couple years ago and this morning decided I would see how it smoked. I don’t recall smoking any Davidoff other than the Millennium blend and hoped this one didn’t smoke too mild for my palate. The cigar has a light golden brown wrapper that is very smooth and shiny with minimal veins. It is very firm when squeezed, has a good weight in the hand, and after punching the cap I find it has more resistance than I care for, however there was still a good amount of air flowing through.
After torching the foot, I take several puffs to get the smoke going good, and then a long draw that brings very little spice to speak of, if any really, and the smoke itself is very mild on the palate. Flavors are also very mild, and as I exhale slowly it leaves a semi-dry finish on the palate that I have to say isn’t that good, quite bland actually with maybe a slight bitterness.
A third in and the burn is razor sharp with a strong, medium to dark gray ash forming in perfect layers from each draw taken. I have to take several puffs right before taking a long draw as there’s still just a bit to much resistance, however I do get out a decent amount of smoke that now has a hint of spice on the back of the tongue. The flavor profile actually reminds me of a really young PSD4, and I say that particular vitola as this cigar looks like one as well.
Halfway and the cigar isn’t smoking too bad now with a mild spice coming through and the smoke, although still mild, has a bit of substance to it. Flavors are decent enough right at initial exhale, however the finish leaves the mouth a bit dry and still a slight bitter taste.
The cigar starting to burn hot in the final third, which really made the flavor not so great, yet the burn was razor sharp and the draw did open up more. I have to say that I would not go out looking for any of these as it was much too mild for my palate both in strength and flavor. But, for those that like these qualities in a cigar, this would definitely fit the bill.
Now, can someone please help me with what this cigar actually was?
