This is a real gentleman's cigar! Great feeling with a
modern look to match! This cigar didn't win awards just
because of it's looks! It is one of the best tasting
cigars in the world. Read the full review here

Davidhoff
2000 Tubos

Comments:
No one can deny the fact that Davidhoff projects style and class. Price is a huge factor and that is one of the reasons that not many smoke them. Zino Davidhoff always said: "Smoke less, but better and longer." You can decide for yourself if you can live with his mantra. This cigar is very mild and although we at Cigar Affection prefer a more "in your face" kind of cigar you can't ignore a cigar like this. It is very easy to smoke, burns evenly with its light wrapper but it will not give you a kick in the face. It is too much of a gentleman! Perfect for an after breakfast cigar and lovely to enjoy with a cup of coffee. Cedar wood and pure tobacco flavours abound. The smoke is rich and creamy, but if you want flavour bursts of spice, leather and chocolate then sadly this cigar is not for you. May be a bit dry for some palates but nevertheless a great cigar. |

Comments:
The wrapper is covered with veins and is a little rough around the edges. This is to be expected due to the lower price point. The 1/3 is spectacular with leather and cedar wood and then goes into a stronger 2/3 of pure tobacco flavours. It runs completely out of steam in 3/3 and you only get very mild and gentle tobacco flavours at the end. It makes huge amounts of white smoke. A very well priced easy after dinner cigar to enjoy while sipping on caramel vodka or something sweet. |

Comments:A great cigar with a length of 150mm and a 52 ring gauge. It is not one of the cheapest cigars out there, but worth the money for a special occasion. True Cohiba taste. Creamy, dark chocolate, and leather notes. A beautifully smooth wrapper with an even burn. They come in tubes too. Looks very impressive. |

Longer and with a thicker gauge of 54 compared to the Serie D No.4's 50 gauge. A very good cigar to smoke and enjoy with great woody, chocolate and floral notes. Highly recommended. |

If you can still find one of these then don't let it slip through your fingers! The medium to strong flavoured cigar is perfect with some smooth, creamy, dark chocolate and spice notes to name just a few. They are nearly too beautiful to smoke...

This is not a complex cigar but difficult to place in the flavour spectrum. Flavour hints of earth with a slight sweet tobacco and old dark coffee flavour.

This is a very good little cigar. Burns very well with a good construction. Very aromatic. Good flavour without bitterness. A great every day smoke! In the region of R80.00 a piece. It will make you happy if you are looking for a quick and easy smoke.

This may very well be one of the most adored Robusto's on the market. If you enjoy Partagas quality then this is one of the best cigars available beyond any doubt. Great tasting with hints of sweet tobacco, dark chocolate and plenty of smoke!

With a gauge of 40 and a length of 102mm. Very similar to Cohiba's Siglo I. There is nothing wrong with this cigar. It is safe to say that this is a mini No.4 but not nearly as popular. |

No.1, No.3, No.4 and No.5 are fairly similar in taste. This was the cigar Al Pacino asked for in the movie, The scent of a woman. So if you want to taste what Al wanted to taste then try one of these! |

One of the best "Churchills" on the market. Not cheap but very well made and great to enjoy. Medium to strong. It can surprise you because it looks milder than it is although it is not a wild cigar. Rich and creamy with a great feel!
