Typical Davidoff bravado: high priced, designer label, she she packaging, ingenious snob appeal marketing. Like the cigars, not bad, but definitely not worth the $12+ per stick sticker shock. Distinguished Gentleman is correct: plum slivovitz. The tin aroma is what's best about this. Taste is hot and muddy in the pipe, and about all I could look forward to was exiting my car so that I could find a place to spill it out. I don't like the direction European blends have been heading. This is a poor version of an inferior Dan Tobacco product. Even on sale, hardly worth the try. The tin says 'manufactured in Holland.' Could this be Dutch Reformed tobacco?

This is "Danish" Oriental. By that I mean a sweet virginia with about four flecks of Latakia included. Ok,maybe there are at least ten flecks of Latakia in the mix. The tin aroma is light and does not smell like an oriental at all. It does however smell like a nice cavendish with a light spiceyness. The cut is ribbon and packs very well,and lights well. The taste is like it smells in the tin,a light spiceyness but very light. The sweetness of the toping and the Virginia is mostly what I taste. Please don't get me wrong,this is not a bad smoke but I just don't see that it should be called an Orinetal. Looking, for a good oriental? Skip this one.

This was my first brand name Oriental, so I was expecting something to sink my teeth into, but what I found was not much. It smells like an orange flavored tea--not good. In Davidoff's defense, I don't like any fruit or berry flavoring in my tobacco, so if you don't mind some orange, bear this in mind as you read.
That said, I wanted something more, something more exotic--more Latakia, less Virginia and other pale tobaccos. But such wasn't the case. This could easily have been packaged as a Danish aromatic, and a light one at that. Again, nothing inspiring or noteworthy.
A GM car with a Rolls Royce price tag is still a GM.

"More a Danish cavendish than an oriental blend." Le mot juste.
I find the lack of individuality and sense of direction of these "corporate" Davidoff blends thoroughly depressing. Is this the way of the future?
