Davidoff tends to the mild/medium with a few blends that are stronger. I like the Nicaragua. Davidoff acquired Camacho to round out their lines to have a more full body smoke. In my view, they ruined Comacho.
I attended a Yamasa launch event at a Davidoff shop a few years back. I told the rep the flavor reminded me of Levi Garrett chewing tobacco. He was not pleased. But, that's what it tasted like to me. <Shrug>
Davidoff views itself as a "luxury" brand targeting a "lifestyle" marketing approach. Not all that different than Cigar Aficionado magazine. I'll browse the magazine. I won't be buying a S.T. Dupont Line D Fire-head Guilloche Pen. The Royal Salomones are a component of Davidoff's intended image. Luxury brands usually have an "ultra" product as a component of being a luxury brand. The price does not mean that its that much better than some lesser priced cigars.
As with many things, price is not indicative of value. Davidoff tends to be on the more expensive side. With this cost you generally do get consistency. Quality rolling and a blend that remains consistent year to year which is not easy for an agricultural product.
Are there better or equivalent cigars at a lower price? Sure. Davidoff has some good cigars but the price is some of the weight from its spend on the image. It is also costs of consistency. They do police their brand.
