Quick Smoke: Davidoff 6000
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”
This robusto from the Davidoff Mille series features a pale, nearly vein-free Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut wrapper. Inside is a Dominican seco binder and Dominican seco and ligero filler. While distinctly mild in flavor, the 6000 features impressive depth. It has plenty of creamy flavors, along with subtle graham, honey, and cedar notes, albeit with little variation from start to finish. This is the only new addition to the Mille series in decades, and it’s a welcome one.
Verdict = Buy.

Nice review. Have any of you guys tried a Davidoff 702 or Capa Dominicana? Also, does the cigar aficionado publication have some kind of axe to grind with Davidoff? I’ve never seen the monthly give the cigar co. a favorable review. The mag does have a nice selection of overated crappers,and some of the witless wonders on the cover prove you don’t have to be the sharpest tool in the shed to bank major coin.
I tried this while in NYC yesterday at the Davidoff store on Madision Ave. They were great and the cigar was also. This is the first Davidoff that I have tried that I enjoyed from start to finish. You guys convinced me to try this and I am glad that I did.
