"A very nice creation, I am pretty much nicotine impervious so I know that would be something most wont like about this stick and a select few will love about this stick. I loved the complexity and transitions. You can tell the manufactures wanted this Cigar to stand apart from every other cigar created. Thumbs up" -Ryan H. (Ryan H.)

·"This was a decent stick with plenty of flavor transitions from third to third. The thick luxurious flavors proved ample enjoyment and relaxation. The only downside I had was with the burn as a result of an uneven construction during the first half of the cigar. Something I’d like to try again before I decide if it’s a must try...." -John A.

Davidoff has announced the Davidoff Tampa Exclusive Edition which is now available at Davidoff of Geneva in Tampa and some other Davidoff stores around the country. The exclusive cigar comes just in time for the Super Bowl being held in the city this year. The cigar itself is a Perfecto shape, meant to resemble the shape of a football. The box is decorated with the Tampa skyline Raymond James Stadium where that game will be played. Only 500 boxes of this limited edition will be sold.
I've talked to several people recently and the seeming consensus is that pretty much everyone makes good cigars; which is for the most part true. So what makes a great cigar? For me at least, it one that tells a story. This one told a story with it's clean flavors and ever changing profile. The burn started a little wavy but never needed a touch up or relight and eventually became razor sharp. I wish the draw was just slightly tighter; but I like a bit more resistance and others may find it perfect. The price point is a little high but I've smoked other cigars at similar prices that don't hold a candle to it. I can't recommend it enough and it's easily one of the top five cigars I've smoked this year.

"This was a fun cigar as each puff was not the same as the previous. The struggle to be the dominant flavor never ceases, all the way to the end. It always kept me interested and would easily become part of my regular rotation. " -Isaac M. (The Nothing)
