A very mild yet flavorful cigar that has been around since June of
1999. Like most of the Davidoff I have seen, this one had a smooth
wrapper, wonderful overall construction, and just a joy to look at. I
am seriously thankful someone took the time to make this just for me.
<g> The cigar burned well to the nub. I thought I noticed a particular
sweet or floral flavor when I first lit this up, but it quickly
blended to a wonderful tasting, complex collection with none saying
"hey look at me".
A nice change of pace from what I have been smoking. IMO a wonderful
afternoon cigar. This was very similar to its smaller brother, the
Gran Cru #3, which I show in my notes as "Damn Tasty"<g>
Looking at my notes, this would probably compare to an AVO XO, a
Butera Cedro Fino, or perhaps a Macanudo Robust Hampton Court.
About the only drawback to this smoke is the price. For the same
dollars, I can get a couple of boxes of really tasty contraband.
