I ask about Davidoffs cuz I got a PS med fill in the other day with my cbid shipment and smoked it right out of the package. For less than $2 a stick, it surprised me a lot (in a good way) and I started thinking, "why are regular Davidoffs so expensive?"

I remember about 4 or 5 years ago, I picked up a sampler set of Davidoff's on an international flight. Back then, I had NOOOO cigar knowledge at all (I still don't have much but at least now I'm trying) I remember buying them because I originally liked their cologne (Cool Water). Don't even remember how much I paid for them and no humidor or anything, just stored them in a kitchen cupboard. Smoked them over the next few weeks and didn't know what the hell I was smoking. In retrospect, I wish I would have at least known the little amount that I know now. Maybe they would've been better.

So back to the original question, WTH?

To some people yes, to some people, no.

It's all about individual tastes.

Only you can figure out if they are worth it to you since it's your money.

I'm gonna put it on my list of "must try at least one when I get back to the states"

Good to know. Knew that Avo was a davidoff line but wasn't tracking the other 3.

Davidoff doesn't own Room 101, Matt Booth does. It is made at the Camacho factory and they do distribute it though.

Camacho, Room 101 and La Fontana are all made at Camacho. While Davidoff does own Camacho, the factory is still run by Christian Eiroa since Davidoff has been fairly hands off since the accusation.

AVO, on the other hand, is a Tabadom (Davidoff's factory) produced cigar, blended by Henke Kelener (Davidoff's master blender & head dude at their factory)

What no love for Baccarat?

From the Camacho marketing department:

America’s #1 Selling Premium Cigar. Baccarat “The Game” is the highest quality cigar available in it’s field and price range, making it a staple with mild body smokers nationwide. This cigar boasts a Honduran-grown Connecticut wrapper with a sweetened tip that is perfect for the beginning smoker. The quality and price of Baccarat cigars cannot be beat and are the reason this brand has stood the tests of time.

Just hooked good ol lefty up with some Camachos from back in the day when it was still Caribe Imports for those of you who remember.

Reminds me I need to pick up one of those Special T's from 01...

And the scary part is that I'm not even at the high end the scale for this kind of stuff. Some of the brothers I know are so far into it my brain wants to implode around them when we start talking about this stuff.

*shrug* I wasn't listing their cigars, just commenting on the ones mentioned.

Hey, no hate here for Baccarat, I love em. Especially if you let them rest a few months, the sweetness mellows out and turns into creamy wonderfulness, lol. Baccarat and La Fontana are amazing smokes for the money.
