What Is "IT" About Davidoffs ??

[Bowtech4ever]

I'm really starting to love them, what is "It" about them? It's that thick, rich, creamy smoke...that's what it is. Thanks @Demuths1770 , @Tobias Lutz , for the introduction. Kyle gifted me some Silver Cigarillos at Christmas. That got me asking and reading. Tobias, gave me some good recommendations. They all went into the Humi for 3 months. I pulled out the cigarillos a couple weeks ago...DAMN!! So much heavy/creamy smoke from such a small stick. They went fast.

I followed them with Tobias's recommendations..Nica Toro, Robusto, and a Short Corona, Anniv #2 Church, and am now eyeing the Special Series "R" & "T", and Millennium Blend Robusto. They have all been somewhat unique and different from each other, while still carrying that Davidoff signature thick, creamy smoke, that I've really come to enjoy.

I still haven't developed a like/tolerance for pepper, but like thick heavy smoke, and creamy is just an added plus. Davidoff is a fit. They are pricey, so I only pick up a couple at a time. I have a local B&M, that has a sweet separate walk-in, dedicated to Davidoff. For now that is very helpful. Probably a curse down the road.

To keep the finances and marriage intact....I am seeking input on other brands that may have the same profile, without being too pricey.

For me, the IT with Davidoff is definitely the leaf quality. They just have a higher standard, I believe, when it comes to selecting their crops and how they use them. No matter which one you smoke, you can tell the leaf quality is just excellent and the flavor is always there. Their attention to detail and QC with their sticks is really top top top notch as well.

I never smoked a Davidoff that I didn't like. Great stuff.

Here's A Noob Question, I'm Sure.....what component (s) produces so much smoke? I had originally thought it was the oils, but have had a couple other NC's that appeared "really oily", and the smoke was...meh, at best.

Have you had the Colorado Claro Short Perfecto? That is my favorite regular production Davidoff and with some patience boxes of 10 can be had for about $110.

I honestly don't think the tobacco leaves have much to do with smoke production so much as the proper rolling technique does. By crafting a perfect roll, the tobacco is evenly distributed, the pack isn't too tight, and the draw is perfect. Makes for that perfect air to combustion balance that creates that nice mouth-feel and big billows of smoke. Proper RH and all that boring storage stuff maters a lot too

The leaf I was talking about is all about the proper age and flavor.

Hope that makes sense.

No, but I think it was mentioned in those previous conversations. Thanks!! It's on my radar now. Payday tomorrow, B&M..."here I come".

drew estates are smoke bombs as well but i can compare anything to daidoffs as i have yet to have one but have been wanting to give one a try. may just have to go out for a smoke tomorrow night now and finally give one a try! i read alot and found that this seemed to be a good ciagrillo so thats what i went with. i know alot of cigerillos are really hit or miss as to them being like the full sized cigar but if the davidoffs live up to what i read and are that good i gotta try one now. your welcome @Bowtech4ever

I've never had a Davidoff, but that's one thing I love about Padron. They always seem to have a perfect draw and those nice, thick bellows of smoke.

@Sigaar , amazingly enough, Padrons have been my other love. My only box buys. @RenoH414 just NST'd me a couple in The Family Reserve line. I'll be waiting for them to wake up!
