Davidoff Flake Medallions

after a few bowls of this one, i find the flavored cavendish too flavored. the cavendish gives it too much fruityness. i simply tired of it. I then removed the flavored cavendish and enjoyed this smoke much better.

High quality VaPer, it is just great. VaPers are my favourite blends, I've smoked a few and I have to say this is the best of them all.

An interesting offering from Davidoff.

A nice, pure aroma of aged VAs. The nicotine can be a bit oin the strong side at times.

I really enjoy it.

Smells like ketch-up spirit!!

And I LOVE it! No, actually I want to hug it and never let go... but I had to.. the tin finished so quick, I couldn't see it coming to an end 🙁 now got to find a new tin ASAP! Ah and some french fries and a napkin. Expensive mexpensive, it's YUM!

Seriously!

A good VAP/PER of the medallion style...though I still find ESCUDO a bit stronger, spicier, and more flavorful. This is a tasty tobacco, but just a step under.

update may 2011: Final verdict -for the time being..- I prefer FM outside and DNR in my 'cave'

This is one of the first tobacco's I bought when I started pipe smoking again last November after a lapse of 30 years. I really liked it straight away, but during the winter I tended to smoke more Oriental and Latakia blends. I surmised that such was my preference in taste. Now warmer weather is coming backish in Holland, I am surprised that I turn more and more often to VaPers and gladly rediscovered my opened tin of Flake Medallions. Apparently my taste in tobacco's is a seasonal thing, although I never experienced seasonal changes of choice in my cigarette smoking days.

Flake Medallions give of a subtle, but complex and endearing taste, very pure and slightly (pleasantly) sweet.

Roomnote is great and it burns easily, both fully rubbed out as well as folded and stuffed. It stays cool and I experienced no tonguebite with this absolutely great tobacco.

The heading "flavoring" still confuses me but I decided that since cavendish is supposed to be sweet as a result of fermentation, I do not rate a sweetish tobacco containing cavendish as flavored unless I detect an added artificial flavor...

A must try before you die 🙂

This is an interesting tobacco in the roll cake format.

It burns well and has the grassy taste of VA with the occasional pepper note of the good quality Perique. The sporadical sweetness of the Black Cavendish completes the picture.

An overall satisfying blend was a good level of nicotine.

Great Davidoff blend, in one word: essential. A delicious VA/PER tobacco with Cavendish. A continuos pleasure. Try it and enjoy it. Highly recommended.

Despite a retail price that I would qualify as retarded (it went from 7.25$, 7.50$ two years ago to now over 11.25$ today for a 50g tin), this roll cake tobacco is still worth the try.

This is mainly a VA tobacco with a slight touch of Périque for interest, completed with a core of black Cavendish. The tin aroma unveils some grasiness and sweetness.

This remains a smooth and rather mild smoke that is obviously of very high quality. The aromatic fan tempted to venture into natural or English mixtures would have an interest in starting with this tobacco. The beginner wanting to upgrade his capacities from mild tobacco would also enjoy this tobacco.

I will not rebuy if it stays at this price but will definitively miss it.
