Erol Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 My apologies if this isn't allowed in the Habanos section. However i decided to share my thoughts on this smoke. Beautiful light wrapper, very nice construction, i think its called a pig-tail wrapper... Burned beautifully, even outisde. Draw was perfect. The first taste was mild, sweet, and sadly, overrated. I got this cigar at a "big smoke" in Toronto, so I normally wouldn't buy this as they are a little outside my price range. I would rather smoke the 'Private stock', as they taste similar, maybe the burn and construction isn't as good, but the 'value' is there. I may be getting my terms mixed up, however these are my thoughts. I"m normally used to 'nutty' and 'earthy' cigars. This cigar was very different. Through reflection i decided this cigar was 'woody', with hints of 'spice' and a distant taste of leather. I normally take black french-pressed coffee with my cigars to complement them, however I've just discovered the pearls of cognac. So I decided to sip this with my smoke. Very good complement to cigars. I think I need to have cognac's alone to better understand the subtleties and aromas so that I can detect how the tobacco and cognac are interacting. Anyways, bottomline... much better dominican cigars for the price. Aesthetics, construction, burn and draw were flawless, however flavour was lacking. I hope this made sense! thanks for reading.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Nice review :-) I would rather roll and smoke dried straw than most recent production Davidoff I have tried. Past glories and packaging is still the strongest part of their appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not all that familiar with Davidoff, other than Habanos Davidoffs, but I recently got two boxes of the Diademas and two boxes of the Diademas Finas. I've smoked three of the larger Diademas over the last week, and I must say, they were VERY VERY good. Smooth and buttery, with an amazing aroma. I may smoke a few more and let the rest sleep for a while. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure what they normally taste like and I couldn't find any other reviews, so I hoped mine was consistent. Too bad they don't make them like they used to, i would have loved to try one. I've heard of 'Diademas', but never tried, I think i'll give it a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigardawg Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I like the Millennium Blend Robusto and Lonsdale. I just don't like the price points. I have smoke the Diademas Fina as well...wonderful smoke. If one also includes Avo in the Davidoff line, I like the Avo 22, LE5, and Avo 80 as well. I'm with the Prez...most of the Davidoff line(s) just does not have enough flavor for me to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
