hello everyone,

this week's smoke was an avo classic no 3. it is of the (7-1/2 x 50) churchill-sized cigars that i prefer with a CON SHA wrapper, DOM binder and a blend of 5 DOM tobacco fillers. being from the davidoff family, i had my reservations from the beginning. the smoke only comfirmed what i was expecting.

like the other davidoff cigars i have tried, this one exhibited all the characteristics of this cigar family:

a loose draw
thin sparse wispy smoke
poor construction
hard to stay lit
uneven burn

in addition to the above, once again, the (extremely veiny) wrapper unravelled about half way through. coincidentally, this was right when the smoke started to become bitter and harsh. as a result, the smoke was laid to rest at that point.

needless to say, i DO NOT like davidoff cigars and, personally, feel that they are a waste of money (no matter what the price point). the other varieties (vitolas?) of avo cigars will be donated to a good cause in the hopes that SOMEONE will be able to enjoy them. the only positive thing i can say about this cigar is that i didn't waste AS MUCH money on it as i have on other, more ballyhooed, davidoffs.

next week's edition will cover either a greycliff OR diamond crown cigar. stay tuned...

thanks,
mike
 
Hey mikey, I see you can captalize your title, but forgot to use your shift key for the body. You have insightful posts, but don't forget that shift key. ;)
 
I seem to really like the Avo's. I have had a Classic Robusto, No. 2, and a couple XO's and have never had any of these problems. I actually found the construction and burn to be spot on. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with the No. 3 perhaps Avo's just aren't for you. Hope your next is not so disappointing.
 
mikey, your writing leaves a lot to be desired and I've already posted twice before about this. If you think ignoring the fact that you're writing like an idiot is going to make it acceptable, let me be the first to tell you, it isn't. ;)

What is "CON SHA?" As always with you, you refuse to capitalize when you're supposed to then you seem to be using some secret code known only to you that makes no sense to most everyone else reading your so-called "review." :rolleyes:

You also say:

Can you please tell us all what the heck a "greycliff of diamond crown cigar" is? I've never heard of that either. ???

Now, getting to parts of your review I was able to understand (after having to suffer through your lousy and ignorant writing style) you claim all kinds of things that are just plain not true about Davidoff cigars. :laugh: I've smoked many of the modern Davidoff cigars over the years and have never experienced "loose draw, poor construction, hard to stay lit and uneven burn." Exactly which specific Davidoffs have you smoked in the past and how many? How long have you been smoking Davidoff cigars? ???

I'm sorry to tell you but when you make ridiculous statements about Davidoff cigars like you made here, your credibility becomes highly questionable.
 
So much for friendly cigar community.

Connecticut Shade. It caught me a little off guard, but any normal person can put a little thought into it and figure it out. I did.

Are you really getting bent out of shape over an typo of the word "or"??

So reviews should go along with what the community thinks or not be posted? You going to question my credibility when I give a bad review of my experiences with DPGs or Tats? His personal experience has not been in favor of Davidoffs. So be it. Instead of being rude, maybe you could offer some advice on better ways to store or smoke a Davidoff that enhances the flavor. Hell, maybe he's getting fakes and doesn't even know it. Way to be helpful there.

ETA: Hey mikey - thanks for sending some cigars to the troops and the reviews while you were here. Don't threaten to leave unless you really are, though, it's not really much of a threat on the Internet. I wouldn't let the English teachers around here run ya off, though. You can always change your mind.

Well john, I honestly couldn't figure out what he meant which is why I asked. You are the one being "rude" here, implying that I'm not "normal" and that I'm "bent out of shape" neither of which are true. So much for a "friendly cigar community" I guess, right? :rolleyes: You ought to try practicing what you preach. ;)

I guess we've learned to expect you to be rude and ignorant so your post here really doesn't surprise anyone.
 
I apologize that my post came off as rude. I didn't mean that.

Who is the "we" that you speak of? Who else do you have permission to speak for?

John is right. This isn't English class. Come on... He is being a part of the community and putting forth a review of his opinions.

You are right, this isn't English class thankfully. I always hated those classes!!

I think what Bill is trying to promote is something that makes sense. If you want to be treated seriously and with respect, show everyone who took the time to read your post the same respect by typing coherently and with correct grammar. No one minds a typo here or there, but repeatedly not capitalizing makes the post tough to follow. It is just common courtesy to do this.

I understand completely. But there is a nice way to say it.

And if you've been keeping track, this is the THIRD time I've brought this issue up with him and he completely ignores me and others who've raised the issue with him. You obvioulsy missed the first two so do yourself a favor and go back and do some research.

While you're researching, check Rod's views on this subject (asking that members here write coherently and not like a grade schooler who's text-messaging his dopey buddies) because I know he agrees with me. ;)
