Davidoff Diademas Finas

Worth every penny. You will not smoke a better non-cuban cigar, probably not in your lifetime. Stopping production of this cigar is one of the biggest mistakes ever made. I'm thinking of getting a 2nd mortagage and buying 10 boxes. You must smoke this cigar before production ceases.

I bought a few of these the other day, and I was impressed with the construction, most importantly I like that Davidoff was confident enough not to bother putting any labels on these, they don't need a fancy sticker to show off their stuff. The burn was nice, the flavor was consistent thoughout, a little weak for my taste but a great cigar. I will put a few away and try them in a year or so. I recommend this one for sure.

Perfectly constructed and taste is complex and smooth. Damn fine cigar. Putting 10 away for the future.

I politely disagree with the last comment. I have to say that I like Davidoffs, especially the Millenium blend series, but I also like the lighter ones. I had the chance to be invited at a tasting of this beautiful cigar by my favourite tobacconist in central Milan. This is to say that it was for free. Price here is Euro 18, i.e. US$ 22. I found the start a bit bitter, but the taste improved dramatically throughout the smoke, and it (almost) became strong, although always creamy and smooth. As typical as a Davidoff can get, the DF was a great experience, like only a big stick can give. Impeccable draw, construction and look, as expected from the house of Davidoff.

I like the Davidoff Milennium's quite a bit and figured this would be a winner, since it's such a high-priced, limited-run item. Boy, was I wrong. The construction and draw are excellent (as always), but the flavor just wasn't my cup of tea. The cigar started off tasting like a mix of sweat socks and raw vegetables. After smoking about 1/3rd, the sweat sock flavor disappeared and was replaced by some spiciness.... but extreme vegetal notes never went away. There was a nice sweetness to it, but I can't stand vegetal (or floral) notes.

I gave this smoke a fair chance... burning about 2/3rds before giving up. If you like medium-bodied smokes that taste like raw vegetables, then this is the stick for you. Otherwise, save a few dollars and get a Milennium Blend Pyramide instead.

Tough cigar to get a hold of and not cheap. But good solid smoke. No regrets and was very enjoyable!
