Davidoff

[Treamayne]

Found a box of these fine cigarellos in Korea last week. Decided to pay the extra cash ($24 for 10 - seems online prices run about $13-16) and picked up the box.

From mydiscountcigar.com:

Country of Origin: Denmark, Netherlands
Flavor: Mild to Medium
Wrapper: Sumatra
Binder: Java
Filler: Brazil, Indonesia
Size: 4 x 22

Now I am not a fan of Cigarellos (usually). For me they tend to burn hot, and normally, when I sit down for a smoke, I like something to last a bit longer. However...these were excellent. Prelight aroma was mild, but the first draw was astounding. How can somehting so small make so much smoke? The volumn on this thing was like a metallica concert viewed from next to the speaker racks! Flavor was mild with earthy tones. I don't have the best palate, so I am sure that these are much more complex than I can describe. The smoke was very smooth and it had a nice, even burn all the way down. Most small sticks I've tried tend to go out if you take your time (hence the hot burn) but I was able to go nice-and-slow with this baby and never need a re-light or touch-up.

My first Davidoff and it was great. Finally a cigarello that I can enjoy. Might be the perfect driving smoke (for short commutes).

About a week ago I bought the Davidoff Club Cigarillos. I had never had a Cigarillo before. These also give of a LOT of smoke, it's crazy how much smoke. I wasn't completely satisfied with the taste however, kind of a really sharp twang and little else. I found if you take really small puffs they taste better. You still get a huge amount of smoke. If you smoke them too fast you ruin it's taste. Actually as I've been smoking through the tin I find myself enjoying them more, maybe I just had to become used to smoking them. What I'm most curious about is the Davidoff Esquisitos, those are long filler from what I've heard.
