  1. Davidoff Year of The OX 2021 Review

    Davidoff Year of The OX 2021 Review

    Year of The OX Review

    The moment you've all been waiting; the review of the new Davidoff Year of The Ox. After letting it rest for a week in our humidor I decided it was time to give it a try. This year's release comes in the form of a 6X60 toro gordo format. This size is a unique one for Davidoff, off the top of my head I can only recall a handful of releases in this format. The cigar features a Domican binder draped over a Ecuadorian Sumatran binder. The filler is what makes this cigar stand out, featuring Nicaragua (Condega and Esteli), Dominican Republic (Piloto, Mejorado, Yamasa and San Vicente). The look of the cigar is unrivaled, as to be expected for Davidoff's yearly zodiac release.

    The cigars arrive in a stunning 10ct box. The box as in years past features a deep red lacquer that catches the eye as it sits on the shelf of the humidor. The box is shaped in such a way to represent the horns of an ox. Its small touches like this that always impress me about Davidoff

  2. The Ox Has Arrived

    The Ox Has Arrived

    The Davidoff Year of the Ox has finally arrived on our humidor shelves. Each year since 2012 we eagerly await the arrival of Davidoffs zodiac release; this year was no exception. The cigars arrived in a beautiful limited edition presentation box of ten cigars featuring signature red lacquer, gold accents,and a simple yet sophisticated icon representing the horns of an ox. The cigar itself comes in a Gordo format and features a beautiful shiny and oily Dominican wrapper. I look forward to getting the chance down to sit down and smoke one for a more in depth review; stay tuned.

  3. Ashton Symmetry: Review

    The Ashton Symmetry was originally released all the way back in 2014 and has truthfully been one of my favorite cigars over the last six years. As many of us know Ashton doesn't like to rush new blends out unless they are perfected and fit a need in their cigar portfolio. The Symmetry was no exception to this rule. Prior to its 2014 release Ashton had not released a new cigar since the ESG in 2006.The cigar was meticulously blended by the Fuentes and produced at the Tabacalera A. Fuente y. Cia. in the Dominican. The Symmetry marked the first time the Fuente family blended a cigar that utilized Nicaraguan tobacco. I also feel that the Symmetry fit perfectly in their portfolio of offerings as a bridge between some of their lighter offerings and the ESG/VSG lines. The cigar for me is a true medium bodied that is packed with full flavors.

    Sizes:

    Prestige: 6.75 x 49

    Robusto: 5 x 50

    Belicoso: 5.25 x 52

    Sublime: 6 x 52

  4. The Davidoff Piquant Robusto

    The Davidoff Piquant Robusto

    Year after year, Davidoff continues to out due themselves with the release of fantastic and unique limited edition products. The year 2020 was no exception to that trend. We saw the release of exceptional cigars like the Special 53, Robusto Intenso 2020, the Small Batch #3 and the always anticipated Zodiac release which is coming later this month in the form of the Year of the OX. The year 2020 was quite a hectic, stressful, and chaotic year due to the global pandemic that began in the early spring. As a result cigar aficionados might have missed out on some of these fantastic cigars. In particular the Davidoff Vault Piquant Robusto comes to mind. It was released in extremely limited quantities in May during the height of the Pandemic as a result many missed out on the opportunity to purchase. Luckily we have some available for those who didn't have the opportunity to get your hands on them back in the spring.

    Like all vault releases the Piquant arrives in a well packed bundle of
