Davidoff Aniversario No. 3

My second Davidoff, purchased out in Vegas with some other Davidoff’s. I figured a night in Cape May is a good enough reason to enjoy of these top-tier cigars.

I don’t feel this was worth the price of admission into the top-tier level. Overall it’s an excellent smoke; the wrapper is gorgeous and flawless, as expected. The aroma was heavenly; well balanced with a cocoa (as opposed to chocolaty) sweetness, un-roasted nuts, and a light herbal note.

The taste was nearly non-existant to me. The draw was air-like smooth and not harsh, bitter, peppery or much of anything. It’s a very easy smoke. I didn’t notice any tastes or other textures, it’s a very unimposing experience and would definitely go well with a liquor or food pairing quite easily.

Maybe I don’t have the taste development to notice what this cigar has to offer, but from my experience with my Second Davidoff so far, I’m not impressed. Yes, it is a very high quality cigar in all aspect, the cleanliness of the smoke is unique to something of this quality. But there’s not much else to enjoy or experience, I think the level of perfection removed any character that could have provided a more memorable experience. But that may be my nievity.
