Davidoff Millennium Blend
Not long ago I was contacted by Timm. While he was vacationing on a beach in the British Virgin Islands, he was gracious enough to put together his thoughts on today’s review. As you can see below, he was in paradise at the cigar friendly Soggy Dollar Bar. I can’t make any promises, but I have a feeling we may be seeing more of Timm around here for at least a little while. In the mean time, check out what he has to say about the Davidoff Millennium Blend.

I received this Davidoff Millennium Piramide as a gift for my birthday. This Cigar was paired with a Heineken beer not so much for the paring, but as it was just less than 90 degrees when I chose to do this.
The Cigar had an almost seamless wrapper with only a few veins. Looking at the foot, both the binder and filler seemed to be packed very tightly, giving this cigar a firm but not spongy feel. Prior to firing it up it had a wonderful rich earthy / mocha aroma.
Upon initially lighting the cigar, I found the mocha flavor from unlit stick remained. This remained for a bit but as it burned a little I started to notices a nutty flavor that stayed on my pallet. At about the ½ to 1/3 point I began to pick up on a hint of chocolate and a hint of coffee. As the cigar progressed I also found that nutty flavors continued to develop, most noticeably the almond. About the mid way point I removed the Davidoff label, in doing so the ash finally gave up the fight.
Fortunately, no matter how full-bodied the smoke became it never turned harsh, the ash remained tight and I was not the least bit worried about it falling off.
Ultimately this cigar burned quite evenly and produced a sturdy white ash. I have heard people say that these cigars have a tendency to go out. I did not have that problem. It was lit with a single wooden match and I had NO issues with it at all. The draw remained consisted and easy for the total smoking time.
My final conclusion – even factoring in the steep price, I was extremely pleased with the cigar. I don’t know if I would spend this much on a cigar often, but I was very pleased with it as a gift. As Christmas is just around the corner, this would make an excellent gift or stocking stuffer simply due to the cost per stick.

Sounds like a must try but at $20 a stick and being laid off it’s a can’t try but thanks for the review.
