Occidental Reserve by Davidoff

All Davidoff cigars maintain well-defined standards of quality and excellence. The tobaccos that are used in the different blends have been cultivated in accordance with the most ancient traditions, in the richest soils and ideal climatic conditions of carefully selected fields. The choicest leaves from various harvests undergo four years of aging, which imparts to Davidoff cigars their rich aroma and consistently smooth taste. All \ Davidoff cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic, where for over five centuries this art has been passed on from generation to generation. The Occidental line is produced at the same factory with Davidoff. Quite often a premium brand will distribute their cigars under entirely new brand names at a lower cost so as not to compromise the brand name line. Davidoff seconds are distributed under the Private Stock brand name. Fonseca also distributes under the Roller’s Choice brand and we suspect, although can’t confirm, that this might be the case with the Occidental line as it smokes and tastes very much like a Davidoff. Regardless, our panel loved this torpedo. It’s a smooth, creamy and somewhat spicy classic Dominican and we think you’re gonna love it! Enjoy.

This cigar offers a complex, full-flavored, medium-bodied smoke. Look for superb construction and an effortless draw. We found its flavor to start slightly peppery with some prominent herbal notes to round it out. Look for a very smooth smoke, yet very flavorful, offering hints of woodiness in the finish. We’d suggest pairing it with a tawny port or English Special Bitter Ale.
