Zino Davidoff

His is the quote of the month:
'Moi quand je prend un cigare dans les mains, je le regarde, je le tate, je le touche... et il me semble qu'a un moment donne, j'en ai fait le tour, eh bien je l'allume.

Et ben vous savez, quand vous avez une femme dans les bras, et bien c'est exactement la meme chose... Si vous oubliez de l'embrasser, de la caresser, de la choyer, elle s'eteint...'

'When I take a cigar in my hands, I look at it, I feel it up, I touch it... and it seems to me that at some point, i've been around it, and then i feel ready to light it up.

When you have a woman in your arms, it's exactly the same thing... if you forget to kiss her, to caress her, to spoil her, she goes out...'  

and the documentary it came from (below). Which completely omits the fact he fell out with the cuban tobacco company in 1991 and stopped putting his brand on cubans to instead make them in the dominican republic. Having tasted a couple of these dominican Davidoffs in recent years, I can say that they are smooth, light, simple and relatively boring (he ain't around to do the blend no more). The line of 1492 cigars in the Cohiba brand - the Siglos I II III IV V VI - was started in the early 90s to replace the Davidoff brand on the cuban side of things.

Forgot how young they were (Feb'11) when i first tried one a few months ago... As Scott and myself found out, they needed those extra 6 months to come into their own, and mature into their Revolutionary Identity.
