I keep meaning to pick up a box, but I haven't tried them yet. The 11's were outstanding.

I smoked both 2011 and 2012. They are very good cigars but not worth of the price IMPO at this moment but with aging they might improve the taste. davidoff matured the tobacco for six years, used a Piloto binder and a Dominican Criollo wrapper. I believe the wrapper needs more aging. Dominican Criollo is not as flavorful as Nicaraguan or Honduran. I do not have enough experience to say that aging will definetly mellow out this cigar. It has a overpowering harshness. I do not expect this harshness from a $22 cigar.

Latley Davidoff is releasing more and more stronger blends. Some of them are good and some of them are not worth of the price. I know they are simply reacting with the market demand. However, I like Davidooof for it's flavorful, balanced, medium bodied cigars. Also do not like the trend to add more and more different lines. However, the fact is, no matter what they have a large group of loyal customer who will buy their cigars. This is where I put Padron ahead of any cigar makers for sticking with the core lines.

Yeah I haven't had many of their cigars maybe one or two but none of their special lines. I thought then they were way over priced and I didn't get much out of them. But I've changed a lot since having their smokes. I always seem to think padron and davidoff are always going up against each other.

I have more or less all the Davidoff's special line from 2007- Zino Crown series, Emperor line, special releases. The white series is the least satisfactory to my taste bud. Someone might like it more because taste is subjective. However though Zino Crown line is pricey but I think they are worth of the price. Well, comparing Padron and Davidoff is not easy because both companies make great cigars. I was talking about core line product not the quality or price. In terms of overall quality, Davidoff is Definetly ahead of Padron. Davidoff Royal Robusto is the example. But again it is very difficult to compare both with quality and product.

I might pick a couple up tomorrow with the avo 25th annys. I'll let you know what I think but I'm almost certain I'm gonna like the avo more. But who knows they did just get some of the new room 101's in so I'm not sure what I'm walking out with besides a skinny wallet lol

Hhhhmmmm padron and davidoff going at each other... I'm with Rza that davidoff's qc is higher then padrons. Every davidoff I've smoked had a razor burn line. On the other hand I find davidoff has a more subtle flavor then padron. Both are awesome smokes and I have never had qc problems with either. That being said for the money I like padron,but every now and again I enjoy a davidoff 2000 or special "t".
