Earlier last year, Davidoff announced they were making some a few cuts to their cigar portfolio. One of those lines that will be taking a seat on the bench is the Davidoff Puro D’Oro, a cigar that has been in production since 2010. Considering these are going by the wayside, I figured it would be a good time to give the Puro D’Oro another try while I still can. What am I smoking? Cigar Review: […]

This weekend I picked up a cigar that was something I hadn’t grabbed in a very long time, Davidoff Millennium. The cigar was originally released in 2001 which gives it more than enough years to be FDA compliant in terms of being pre-2007. It’s a cigar that I smoked from time to time when I lived in NYC, but over the years it fell off my radar. With my palate calibrated once again thanks to […]
According to a story on the Cigar Aficionado website, Matt Booth, jeweler turned cigar personality has left Davidoff. However this might not be the last we see of Matt Booth who in a phone interview with the magazine said, “The contract ended, and I think that it’s time for a new beginning for Room101. I am grateful for the years of partnership and support from Davidoff.” That statement leaves the door open from Matt Booth […]
Word has begun to circulate that Davidoff will be bringing back a cigar that served as a Limited Edition back in 2009. That cigar is the Davidoff Seleccion 702. While details on the new cigar won’t be made public until mid-month, the original 702 LE 09 measures 6 5/8 x 48 and was labeled as a Toro Especial. The cigar featured an Ecuador grown wrapper dubbed a 702 Hybrid with binder and fillers from the Dominican […]
Back in the day, a younger Avo Uvezian was sitting in a bar and was disgusted at the price of a Cuban cigar he wanted to smoke. At that moment, he decided he wanted to make his own brand and sell them for a much better price. The Avo Classic is a handmade cigar that comes to us from the Dominican Republic using vintage Dominican binders and fillers, which is crafted at the Davidoff factory. […]
Avo. A name synonymous with fine cigars and musical talent. Over three decades ago in the early 1980’s, Avo quietly entered into the premium cigar market only selling 120,000 cigars in his first year. Fast forward to 1995, Davidoff took over distribution for Avo Uvezian and sold over 2,000,000 cigars that very next year. In the past, Avo Uvezian primarily used tobaccos from the Dominican Republic for his blends. More specifically, he has not used […]
Today, November 30, 2016 marks what would have been the 142nd Birthday of Winston Churchill. What better way to celebrate than with a Winston Churchill. For me I first became aware of Winston Churchill was in 1985. I guess if I paid attention more in school I would have known sooner but it took a song from Iron Maiden to open my eyes. The intro to the song Aces High from the live CD […]
In June of 2016, Davidoff Cigars announced a line extension for Escurio. The line would be getting a few new sizes including today’s review the Gran Perfecto. The cigar which is cut at the foot begins at a 50 ring gauge before opening up to a 61 ring, which is just short of 1″ in diameter. A ring gauge is based on 64/64 which would equal an inch, where a 50 ring gauge is 50/64 […]
