I really enjoyed the Davidoff Dominicana Robusto, and it is nice to see a cigar like this being made by Davidoff again. It is one of those Dominican focused cigars that are full in flavors and body, but not overly strong at the same time. There is balance to the cigar, and because of that, it is appealing to many smokers.
When it comes to the White Labels, this Davidoff Colorado Claro Special R is where my attention leads to as this blend hits for me. The price point on the line is fairly high, but it is worth reaching for from time to time and I would recommend that anyone who hasn't tried one yet, do so.
While there is a large segment of the smoking population that would enjoy this cigar, the Davidoff Signature 6000 is just a bit too basic for me. With the high price point, I just don't see returning to it, but if you're a fan of mellow Connecticut shades, it will likely be right in your wheelhouse.
The Davidoff JR 50th is hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic at the Davidoff cigar factory, where all Davidoff cigars are made. The blend uses aged Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos for the filler, followed by a rich Negro San Andrés binder from Mexico. The finishing touch is an exquisite Ecuadorian wrapper, dark brown in color and rich in flavor.
I was really pleased with the Davidoff Tampa Exclusive 2021. A very good cigar from start to finish. The flavors of cedar, cream, coffee and spice throughout were fantastic. It delivered those classic Davidoff flavors that you would get in the Anniversario or Signature, but with a lot more strength. It made me think of a lighter version of the Davidoff Chef’s Edition 50th Anniversary.
The Davidoff Dominicana will add a refined, yet full-bodied taste experience to the portfolio carrying the iconic white ring. The Dominicana is finished with a signature pigtail to highlight the mastery of the Davidoff cigar rollers and is adorned by a golden foot band revealing the year of the tobacco harvest.
The Back2Back Connecticut 6x60 smoked like a pretty typical Connecticut Shade offering. While this size isn't something I typically gravitate towards, you do get a lot of cigar for your money and for those that find this flavor profile enjoyable, it's an easy buy.
If the Davidoff Year of the Ox smoked like it did in the first third throughout, it would have been amazing. One of the better zodiac releases in recent years, but still does not compare to some of the early smokes.
The Davidoff Robusto Intenso delivers another balanced and complex offering in a portfolio that already has a number of winners. The last third seemed to gas out, but the first two thirds kept my palate satisfied and engaged. Setting the price point aside, I would happily smoke more Robusto Intensos if I had the opportunity.
Decorated with the beautiful skyline of Tampa and the Raymond James Stadium, the Davidoff Tampa Exclusive celebrates the upcoming Big Game with a Limited Edition of only 500 boxes. The unique and distinctive cigar features a blend of tobacco customized to the taste of our clientele and the vibrant excitement of the city.
