For me Davidoff is the winner and has a lot more pronounced notes, the burn time was the same as Siglo. Cohiba is overhyped. But that's just my opinion
I just began exploring cigars. The first I tried was a Cohiba Robusto. It absolutely sucked. Flavour was average, had defects in the wrapper and started falling to bits. Total joke. Tried a Davidoff Aniversario No. 1 afterwards, so much nicer, smooth and flavourful, very well made by comparison. Looking forward to trying more Davidoffs amongst other new world cigars. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to Cohiba again.
I absolutely Love cigars and I've only had one Cuban, a Montecristo no.5. I know what I like at this point and all my interest is hanging on just ordering different Cubans and going through them like I have the NCs to see what I'd like to keep stocked in my humidor. Seems like anything Cohiba (Habanos) does is highly reviewed and rated! I do really enjoy Davidoff as well.
Had a Davidoff 2000 today as weather was nice. The cigar has an easy draw so you need to smoke it slow and not let the cherry glow too much otherwise the cigar gets too hot. Otherwise better than the no.2 which is very mild.
I want to try a Davidoff some day. I've never had a Davidoff cigar from what I remember, maybe once like 4+ years ago but I can't remember. They're not cheap but they seem quality. I might get Fuente first though. I need to build my collection with entry level to mid range sticks.
I just tried the davidof signature 2000 2 weeks ago and a cohiba siglo 4 yesterday and it's not even close.. first I thought I would like the dafidoff more the smell of the cigar before lighting it up was amazing way better then cohiba but when you smoke them you understand that cohiba is a way better and more enjoyable cigar. Davidof burns way more quicker and it's not quite enjoyable.
@@julian0693 Okay. I understand. I had my first Davidoff recently as well. Yes, smells very nice. But the taste was slightly lacking, it was still a very good cigar though. Just not worth the price for my liking. It was a Davidoff Nicaragua Robusto. I have another Davidoff waiting in my collection, I hope it's even better. The Late Hour Churchill. I also have boxes of Cubans.
Well done, good video. "To each their own," as the saying goes. This afternoon, I'm planning on savoring a La Flor Dominicana Ligero Natural L 400. Is any offering from Cuba comparable to that? I rather doubt it.
I'm a sole Davidoff 2000 smoker in short; It’s mild/light very creamy cigar with a pleasurable fragrance. The scent is so nice many will ask what cigar it is. Taste is objective thing for all; but If you like mild cigars or are a beginner or veteran the Davidoff 2000 is a sure bet.
I've had a couple of real Cubans. They were given to me in a trade by serious cigar afficionados I've met. You're right in that Cubans have their own signature profile as does David off and a few other companies such as Aganorsa Leaf for example. Never had a real Cuban Cohiba but I enjoy the rare Fuentes/opus. An aged montecristo espada hits the spot for me. Also I don't think people prefer new world it's just that it's harder for us to get real Cubans. It's easier for me to find rare opus varients than to order Cubans online and have to wait months till arrival and then having to rest the ontop of that. I travel for work so it's pretty hard for me to obtain Cubans. I don't like loose draws either most of the guys I have met agree on that. Part of the reason I don't smoke padron often. I've heard of cigar reps who have rare limited edition cigars from the US meeting up with guys in Europe and trading out for some Cubans. Anyways love your videos and good to see someone with the same passion for this hobby

Just tried a signature 2000 today, i really enjoyed it. How does davidoff grand cru compare to the 2000 ? I see a good deal online and thinking of buying a box
I've seen a lot of people around writing and saying that non cuban cigars have reached cubans in quality, that non cubans are good cigars, that they could compare to cubans, and all that jazz. Truth is cubans are far ahead of any other cigar from whatever place, whatever brand; they're just on a league of their own. I've smoked a couple of quai d'orsay coronas claro lately, nothing too fancy nor too pricey at around 10-12 punds each, yet even at that rather medium point for cuban cigars there isn't really anything close to it outside of cuba.
Ain’t no cigar in this world that can beat the cuban flavor period. I get it there expensive but forget about it meng. If rather save money and smoke a good cuban d4 mcristo n2 than any other nica or Dominican cigar out there. I just wish cuba had better construction to there cigars.
Davidoffs are too open, and it results in a much shorter than expected smoke time. However, many Cubans are packed/rolled so tightly, that they're completely unsmokable.
@@cigarinspector2023 would love to know the answer to this as well. I’m based here in the US and have been strictly dabbling in new worlds but want to get my hands on true quality Cubans. I know it’s tough and all due to the embargo but any suggestions would help thank you.
‘New World’ is such a stupid category. Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Honduras have nothing in common, from the perspective of cigars, other than they are cigar producing countries that aren’t Cuba: that is an obviously arbitrary category; there is no reason to put them in a group against Cuba.
If Cohiba’s quality control reaches the same level as Davidoff, it will be invencible.🤐
I enjoy your channel and insight, adding new world cigars makes it even more enjoyable for me!

The Davidoff Nicaragua, and Winston Churchill The Late Hour lines, are magnificent. Huge flavour bombs.

Hey this is the first one of your vids I’ve seen why do you light first then cut?
Love your show! Can you please also speak about strength ..I’m a new smoker. Cheers! ☮️ ❤️
Thank you you didn’t speak about the strength at the end of the video chairs
I believe I detected a little bias there but it’s totally understandable. I prefer Cubans as well! 😉
You are one of the best cigar reviewer
Great video brother
Is Cohiba Robusto have same flavor as siglo lines ?
Not really. They have similarities but the Robusto is in my view a much better cigar. Although the Siglo V is incredible.

What are your thoughts on a Cohiba Siglo II being priced at $60?
Love your reviews, man. Would love to see a review of Cohiba lancero and Trinidad Fundadores
Gray suggestion, I’ll add that to the list. Thank you.

I prefer the Signature series over the grand cru
where are you from in india bhai?
Who makes that cutter?
It's the knife cutter from Les Fines Lames
That Cohiba has more than doubled in price since when you made this video!!!! Meanwhile, the Davidoff has gone up by about 75%

Your links aren’t working
Thank you for letting me know I’ll fix it now.
O thank you! I just thought that Cohiba was a Chinese brand… 😉🤣
Debatable lol

I dislike open draw cigars as well Usman, too hallow and weird experience overall.

damn I loved your take on them but I'm team Davidoff and my feelings got hurt
Cuddles

It's looser because they know how to roll better... Joking.

Are you fucking serious? Cuban bad construction?
Sorry I don't understand what you mean. Care to elaborate?
Cubans have horrible construction. Especially compared to davidoff
