I've been tempted to pick these up; presentation looks excellent, but at $120 for eight sticks I've been waiting for some reviews.

When you do that, why then you really watch out what you’re doing, and you try to get the most for your money. Then you can spend your own money on somebody else. For example, I buy a birthday present for someone. Well, then I’m not so careful about the content of the present, but I’m very careful about the cost. Then, I can spend somebody else’s money on myself. And if I spend somebody else’s money on myself, then I’m sure going to have a good lunch! Finally, I can spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. And if I spend somebody else’s money on somebody else, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get. And that’s government. And that’s close to 40% of our national income.

A local hotel bar that I frequent just started carrying Davidoff's. I don't know what the Davidoff brand usually runs but I would guess that the hotel charges a pretty decent mark up on these cigars. The bartender also said they were a mild smooth smoke. These seem to be out of my price range but for a very special occassion I might pick one up and enjoy it. Any suggestions as to which one a full bodied cigar fan might enjoy?
Really none of the Davidoff line is noted for being full bodied. These are finesse cigars, just as they were when they were made in Havana. Of course there are those included within the line of cigars Davidoff produces that are considered more full bodied than others. I would recommend the Millenium series Robusto. I've also heard great stuff about their last LE release, but I haven't tried one yet.

$120 for 8 sticks? You have it good. They are flogging them $248 for a box of 8 here. Nuts

I've seen them elsewhere for $120; I think that is the "MSRP" as it were. Good luck; at $15 or more per stick, I'll usually only spring for VSG Wizards or ccs.

Lots of places are selling them for MSRP, including, of course, the Davidoff shops in New York. Just call them up and order a box.
I haven't had the robustos, but I've had the Diademas Finas. I'm not a big Davidoff fan, generally, but these were surprisingly good. I picked up a box of ten and have only three or four left.

Yes, but when I check out the prices of the Elie Bleu humidors, I say SACRE BLEU!

I'm smoking one right now, and I have to say it is an extremely unique cigar, unlike any other I've ever had. The tobacco is obviously well aged, with a very white ash, and the flavors and aroma are, well, very unusual, but in a good way.
This is a very toasty, creamy, medium bodied cigar. The flavors are very tough to put a finger on, vanilla, cinnamon, gingerbread & citrus...almost a powdery quality. Predominately seco leaves I would guess. Extremely well made and unlike any Davidoff I've ever tried before. The aroma is completely intoxicating. The flavors just keep building and building...incredible. I would rotate this cigar regularly with Cuban's if they were affordable.
Very, very nice cigar...highly recommended.
