1987 Davidoff No 1

[Ken Gargett]

» Ok, first the Tang Upmanns, now the Davidoffs. Are you trying to hurt me!

» LOL. FWIW, I've seen a fair amount of Davidoffs, and these #1s in your

» pics appear to be in EXCELLENT condition. The wrappers still have a nice

» sheen, the bands are only slightly yellowed. I think the cello helps

» quite a bit with retarding aging. Very nice!!

you think it is cruel for rob to show you things like these davidoffs - how about a call the other day.

rob - we just got in three boxes of tangs.

me - fantastic. i'm in for one.

rob - ok.

(he knows that i think these are some of the best cigars i have ever tried and that i am prepared to mortally wound the credit card, what remains of it, and to put his kids through another year of uni).

rob - hang on a moment. lisa, we still got three?

me - what?

rob - two. okay then. hang on, what is that? one? what none. sorry, we don't have any left.

talk about santa ripping the stocking out of a kid's hands. as a result, stand by for all the incriminating photos/evidence/anecdotes about peewee ayala that you can handle.

i actually prefer using the cohiba and habanos diaries (though they do work better when they remember to put in months) but don't tell bolly.

you know full well that this is a concoction of your drug-addled mind and that i had never even heard of such things until you deliberately falsely attempted to attribute them to me, presumably in a squallid attempt to divert attention from the perversions you practice (details of which are available to the highest bidder - we start at a box of tangs).

a teaser - which of the two of us (and for those yet to have their morning coffee, the answer would not be me), was known to be lying starkers on your bed, door ajar, trying to entice the poor old landlady (all of 72) into your room? every time the dear old thing hobbled up the stairs to return laundry, you couldn't wait to nude up. she be seen moments later lying at the bottom of the stairs in a tangled heap, clawing at her face, screaming 'my eyes, my eyes'.

Liar.....Suzanna is 67

Whilst they look absolutely fantastic and you will definately not have any difficulties in shifting those, I may count myself amongst the vast majority who would not be able to afford them, and would rather buy current production stock.

In fact, even if I did really have £££'s to burn, I would concentrate my purchases on 06 stock and just try and be patient. Otherwise if I was itching, there is still plenty of stock out there with up to 10 years age on it - although of the most popular selections the price is at the higher end.

I'd much rather try a perfectly stored monte #2, RASS or CoRo from the mid-90's, than a davidoff- even if from 87. Just my £0.02.

could have been a couple of years older from what seemed to be going on in that room.

I agree Graham. I will keep the majority for myself on the premise that there is not enough to sell whereby I won't upset somebody.

I was going to smoke one with Ken. However, I harbour resentment at being continually blackmailed by photographs which he purports to exist and hold in his posession.

you did.

poor woman was probably on one of those boats jimmy posted to avoid the return of the aussies next year.

[connoiseur29]

wow, that's all I can say. I wish I had the opportunity to try one.

[broozer]

i've had the privilege of smkoing one from '84 and it was superb. one of the top 5 cigars i've ever had, no doubt.

I have smoked several from 1986 and they were quite good.

It was like biting into a fine bar of chocolate.

[Mike33]

One of these days I will get a Davidoff or a Dunhill, hopefully. I'm hoping to get one before I start Law school in the Fall and smoke when I graduate in 3 years.

Some people have said the Dunhill's have held up better over the years. Anyone who has had the chance to smoke BOTH want to comment?

[Jimmy2]

I smoked a Dunhill from 1968 and it was still full of life.

We received some 1987 Davidoff No 1 (Lancero) this morning. PCC here in Australia found them locked away in one of their humidors. The price they wanted retail was horrendous so don't ask. I will keep whatever supples are available for myself (for the time being) as they are trying to workout a wholesale price for me.

The reason I asked for the 5 pack was to ascertain the condition which appears to be excellent.

I post some pics for the benefit of mankind ;-)
