Davidoff White Label 2012

[TM-US]

I'm putting up a bunch of reviews that I've been procrastinating to post.

Here's the first:

Davidoff White Label 2012. Limited edition cigar, 52 ring gauge, canonazo size like Cohiba Siglo VI. Aroma of chocolate when unlit. Cold draw of plums and currants. Initial light toasted tobacco notes, very little else. Medium draw, a little tight with humidity around 69%, I really need to store these at 65%.

After about an inch, you get a really nice aromatic smoke out of this cigar. Very creamy, still a medium bodied cigar. Very pleasant creaminess like a Cohiba Siglo II but without the grassy notes or honey notes. Kind if a cafe au lait flavor going on. A sugar sweetness develops on your lips, very nice.

Halfway through, still a nice sweet creaminess, building in strength. Now definitely a full bodied cigar.

I'm now getting to the last third- full on Montecristo Grand Edmundo like chocolate flavors. Last third pure chocolate flavor, very nice, although I have to keep relighting, which is getting annoying. I should have dry boxed this cigar, as it is definitely over-humidified.

This has been one of the best cigars I've smoked this year. I bought a box and then a second a few months later, they were that good. One of the few NCs that develops in flavor and has a lot of complexity. Highly recommended. I'd rate this maybe a 92 out of 100, fresh.

thank you for the review. Love Davidoff cigars but always on the pricey side in Canada.

Agreed this was a great stick from a brand who makes pleasant hot air. Why can't they make more like this?
