Davidoff Aniversario No. 1

[insight]

The only Davidoff I have had was a Millenium lancero and I was VERY dissapointed, it tasted like I was smoking a bale of hay. Good thing It was given to me, I wouldn't have paid 3 dollars for that cigar.

Hmmm...

I enjoyed it very much and I didn't taste a "hay" flavor at all. I'd definitely smoke these again.

I am with George on this one, I have never noticed hay flavor in a millennium. I think the millenniums are pretty fantastic cigars, albeit expensive. The rest of the Davidoff line tends to be too light for my tastes but ymmv.

Its a decent light smoke. I always enjoyed the cedar tube its in as it was easy to take from London to Cardiff, Wales without a humidor at the time. I enjoyed it after slamming down 3 pints of Guinness in 2 minutes and this nice dice of Leek Sausage and mashed potatoes. It is pricey and I can think of many other cigars I would rather smoke for the price of it, but having enjoyed one, I would buy another if I wanted a longer burning light cigar. :thumbs:

I must agree with Wilkey on this $30 is way out there. I did have a Panamanian girl once for a whole week that was well worth $30, oh we are talking cigars. Sorry press on.

I am a sucker for the Davidoff line, but alas there price point is way north of an every day or occasional cigar.

How times have changed @tone-ny !

Now you hang out with @SamClemmons for the same money.

I've never had any cigar that was worth $30 to me... and I've had some pretty exotic stuff (Cuban and non-Cuban). Country of origin is meaningless.

Just had to text him a screenshot of this

Hey now .. @moki is not even here to defend himself or explain the $15K website funds.

I really want to get into Davidoffs after my recent experiences with the smaller lines in tins.

You absolutely should explore their lines if you enjoyed the tinned smokes. @wrussell46 got me hooked on them recently, and I'm never looking back.

Wow, so many names I haven't seen in a very long time.. Yeah, who'd be dumb enough to spend $30 on a cigar....

I approve of this thread, and grateful to see @grateful1 reopening it!

For the record, I think $30 back in 2008-2009 for a cigar the length of your forearm might have been a touch excessive.

Or is $64 today excessive…?
I will say the Ani No.1 is an absolutely fantastic cigar. There’s no other CT wrapper cigar on the market like it. In my humble opinion.

For those who weren’t smoking cigars in 2008, I am blessed to have an Ani No.1 example from 2009, and I laid it out next to a No.3 tubo for comparison.
