The Davidoff White Edition 2012 cigars were released in the United States on August 08, 2012. Only eight thousand individually numbered pieces were offered worldwide, making them quite a rarity in the tobacco-lovers’ sphere. This company has a long-standing track record of luxury tobacco lines and an avid client base. This edition has been anxiously awaited with jittery fingertips. The dark, silky-complexioned wrappers provide a beautiful background for the white bands that encircle them. The white bands, likewise, provide a beautiful background for the Davidoff lettering. There is a second band at the foot of the cigars that reads “2012”, drawn in with a beautiful mother-of-pearl finish.

Aside from the visual appeal, these elite sticks stand out rather dramatically in their contrast with the 2011 versions. They are much stronger and full-bodied than the original White Editions. They begin with under currents of hay and grass mixed with sweet tobacco. They then showcase a black pepper, which surprisingly enough is not harsh, but offers a rather gentle flavor according to reviews. They burn with a straight line and the ash, for the most part stays firm, although some noted that a few bits may flake off here and there. With their sleek, dignified look and luxurious and strong-bodied feel, the Davidoff White Edition 2012 cigars are crafted for the nicotine lovers, tobacco-connoisseurs, and Dominican tobacco fans.  There are five different types of aged Dominican tobaccos in the filler, making a delectable combination of flavors. And with only 8,000 sticks available, it seems that the luxury and rarity allow for the $21.50 per stick price.

The Davidoff cigar company hand rolls the Griffins Special Edition 2011 cigars. The business grows their tobacco in a valley in the Dominican Republic called Cibao Valley, while they grow their wrappers in Ecuador. The materials are chosen carefully for this particular series, as the flavorings are a very complex and intense combination.

The stogies they produce are usually mild and creamy, but their most recent delivery is a much bolder flavor. The stick is filled with Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco, encased in an Ecuadorian wrapping leaf. The filler is consistently packed, and is always hand rolled to ensure the same high quality every time.

The release of the Griffins Special Edition 2011 cigars brought mountains of praise from all around. The flavors were said to be something new and unique to the smoking world. This stogie, a limited edition, brings flavorings such as buttered toast, sweet tea, and caramel, to a light mixing with wood and oak tastes. This smoke lasts for two hours, with a solid ash and construction. From the first third to the final, it held its characteristics. The flavors shifted and transitioned easily, allowing the smoker to embrace each change. This stick does not overheat nor does it get harsh, even as it is toked to the nub.

In the long run, the product manufactured by Davidoff was well met and applauded by enthusiasts. The stick is hand rolled to increase its quality, and rolled in a Simoan style. This style is considered rare, as it is difficult for most rollers to complete it.

The Zino Platinum Crown series is an enchanting line of cigars that leaves the smoker wanting more, even after the last whiff of smoke has dissipated.  Many reviewers rave that this is the next best thing to an actual Cuban cigar.  They all agree that this is the best of the best.From its Connecticut and Ecuadorian wrapper to the Connecticut filler, this great smoke made in the Dominican Republic delivers on its every promise as a premium, full bodied cigar.

The chocolaty taste of cocoa and the peppery taste of blackened steak come through from start to finish, varying in intensity at times.  The woodsy and blackened steak flavoring seems to be prominent throughout the entire body of the cigar.  The buttery taste that is also experienced throughout the cigar leaves some reviewers declaring that it felt as if there was butter slathered on their lips while they smoked this luxurious offering from the Zino Platinum Crown series.  The slightest hint of the wonderfully tantalizing aroma of coffee was also a flavor note that was described within the reviews. 

The Zino Platinum Crown cigar is an extremely limited edition and follows a premium cigar price point.  However, most of the cigar smoking reviewers did not hesitate to splurge on this full bodied taste explosion of complexity that has few, if any rivals. Described as a perfect cigar in terms of the overall flavor, complexity, balance and finish, the Zino Platinum Crown was also noted as a cigar that never offered up anything bitter.

Also noted by aficionados reviewing the cigar was that it never required relighting.  One reviewer added that he had smoked cigars that were very good and he had smoked cigars that were great, and that this one absolutely was so good that it defied finding words to describe its greatness.  How is that for an amazing cigar?

 Well, Davidoff has done it again with the Zino Platinum Crown LE 2008.  It has aficionados and reviewers alike singing its praises and giving all around accolades to this premium, limited edition cigar.

This full flavored, medium bodied smoke tantalizes the taste buds from beginning to end.  Burning evenly and fully, it offers a gratuitous amount of smoke, and the volume continues from start to finish.  The cigar is described as being extremely pleasing to the eye even though the wrapper’s scent doesn’t offer much of a clue as to what the flavor offerings are that lie in store for the smoker.

Usually there is a beverage recommendation from all reviewers of each cigar, but, with the Zino Platinum Crown LE 2008, it is noted that it is so smooth and great tasting, a beverage isn’t necessary at all.  There is no sour or bitterness related to this cigar from start to finish.  The Zino Platinum Crown LE 2008 is mild yet flavorful all the way through.  There is no harshness even when you get to the nub, which is rare for any cigar but expected from a company so widely acclaimed as Davidoff.

Throughout the Zino Platinum Crown LE 2008, there are notes of creaminess that intensify and then back off at times.  There are also very slight hints of cocoa that can be found around the midway point of the cigar.  Towards the end, you will notice some peppery, earthy flavors that are enveloped in the creaminess.  The very end of the cigar offers some wonderful tobacco notes that combine to make this a flavor filled power house of a cigar. 

This fine cigar will leave you feeling satisfied, and you will be anticipating the next Zino the next time you reach into your humidor for a smoke!
