Zino Davidoff White Label Cigar Event


From flawless contruction, to the perfect draw, Davidoff sets the standard.

That quote by Zino Davidoff should provoke deep meditation from the reader. While keeping a sense of humor, one should also have in mind what really is important to him. We all work hard for what we have, what we provide for our family. And what is the price for a man wanting to reward himself in some small way, for instance, with the time to sit in quiet and relax with a great cigar? You must agree, that is a small price indeed!

In this new politically correct world there are fewer and fewer santuaries offered where a man can find such relaxation. Wrongly appointed officials are trying to make a legal consumable, cigars, illegal to consume! The weather is either too hot or too cold to smoke outside at home..and to keep the peace with "you-know-who", you don't smoke your stogies inside. Why pay hundreds of dollars on a membership club when you can enjoy the comfortable lounge at the Smoke Ring of Sugar Land? Here's your chance to do just that!

On December 13th, 2007, the Smoke Ring of Sugar Land will be hosting the cigar tasting event of the year! Kris Miller, the premier representative from Davidoff will host a Zino Davidoff White Label Cigar Tasting Event!


Here's some information on the cigars you'll be purchasing at the Smoke Ring:


The Davidoff brand is a world class favorite - cigars of outstanding quality that demand great tobaccos, aged at least 4 years and with 4 unique blends rich in aroma and smooth in taste. The tobaccos are cultivated in the rich soils of selected fields where more than five centuries of the fine art of cigar making is still respected. This classic brand began in Cuba in 1946, and is made today in a factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic that creates Davidoff cigars exclusively.

DIADEMAS
This special, limited edition anniversary cigar was issued to celebrate what would have been Zino Davidoff's 100 birthday.Unlike other Davidoff cigars, the Diademas Fina does not wear the familiar white oval band. From the start, the cigar burns perfectly and draws well, producing a very long, firm ash. Plus, it smokes very smoothly and trouble-free for well over an hour with an appealingly sweet aroma.
GRAND CRU
This Dominican cigar is a medium to mild-bodied smoke with a smooth, attractive, caramel-colored wrapper. The delicate blend of salty Olor, acidic San Vicente, and peppery Piloto Cubano tobaccos yielda a unique harmonious flavor pleasing to the whole palate. This symphony of tastes remains fairly constant throughout the smoke, and the cigar maintains a true pull and an even burn to the end.
DAVIDOFF SPECIALS & the DOUBLE R

"This cigar is an all time favorite, the cigar you pull out of the humidor when you think 'I must have a rich, spicy, perfect smoke.'" That's a typical comment about this great cigar. It fills the air with an absolutely beautiful aroma, and leave your mouth smooth as cream. The Davidoff Double "R" is a mild to medium bodied cigar that's well balanced, with a toasty finish.

MILLENIUM BLEND

Davidoff Millennium cigars are the most full-bodied of all Davidoff cigars. Blended from heartier, vintage Dominican tobaccos and Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper leaves, grown exclusively for Davidoff. These fine premium cigars arouse the senses with their perfectly-balanced, complex flavors and aromas.

Jesus Fuego Gran Reserva

after working alongside one of the industry's most respected cigar makers and blending his array of fine cigars for many years, Jesus Fuego made the conscientious decision in december of 2006 to finally launch his own brand.

carefully fermented and patiently aged, this rich sun grown 'corojo' wrapper completes the complex flavor of fillers and binder grown by Nestor Plasencia exclusively for this blend.

the 6" x 58 gran reserva had one of the most gorgeous corojo wrappers i've ever seen. dark and oily with an attractive reddish patina. the smoke was thick, creamy and marvelously smooth. "corojo" is my favorite, my "go to" cigar.

corojo is the name mostly and probably misused/used by many cigar makers for the wrapper. one would think then that all "corojo" would taste the same, but they don't.

this cigar--J.Fuego Gran Reserva 6x58 has what i look for in that special wrapper known as corojo!

try one today at the smoke ring!

Cigar Quotes

Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.
George Burns

I'm at the age now where just putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill.
George Burns

There are men here and there to whom the whole of life is like an after-dinner hour with a cigar; easy, pleasant, empty, perhaps enlivened by some fable of strife to be forgotten - before the end is told - even if there happens to be any end to it.
Joseph Conrad

I did the cover of Cigar Aficionado, so I'm supposed to talk about loving cigars. I've smoked them a couple of times. My father used to smoke cigars. I love the idea and the concept, and I love the smell of cigars.
Gina Gershon

If you want a midget to look like a baby, don't put a cigar in his mouth.
Chuck Jones

I even smoke in bed. Imagine smoking a cigar in bed, reading a book. Next to your bed, there's a cigar table with a special cigar ashtray, and your wife is reading a book on how to save the environment. Raul Julia

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. Raul Julia
A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.

Rudyard Kipling

I never can understand how anyone can not smoke it deprives a man of the best part of life. With a good cigar in his mouth a man is perfectly safe, nothing can touch him, literally.
Thomas Mann

What this country needs is a really good five cent cigar.
Thomas R. Marshall

A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke.
Groucho Marx

I didn't play at collecting. No cigar anywhere was safe from me.
Edward G. Robinson

I have made it a rule never to smoke more that one cigar at a time.
Mark Twain

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.
Ron White

Cigarette sales would drop to zero overnight if the warning said "CIGARETTES CONTAIN FAT." Dave Barry

If I cannot smoke in heaven, then I shall not go.
Mark Twain

Eating and sleeping are the only activities that should be allowed to interrupt a man's enjoyment of his cigar.
Mark Twain

The end of a good smoke is a little saddening. In some regard, it's a bit like losing a best friend who had time to sit and listen.

ZenWarrior

"If I had taken my doctor's advice and quit smoking when he advised me to,I wouldn't have lived to go to his funeral."
George burns at age 98

"If your wife doesn't like the aroma of your cigar, change your wife."

Winston Churchill Cigars by Davidoff



With their inimitable taste and superb aroma, Winston Churchill cigars will delight the most avid cigar smoker.
Master Blender Henke Kelner has created a unique blend for Davidoff. Highly complex in taste and aroma, these blends are unlike anything previously available from the Dominican Republic.
The tobaccos used in the cigars are from the Dominican Republic, Peru, Nicaragua, and Ecuador, all derived from Cuban seed. This blending delivers a unique flavor and fuller bodied smoke. The wrapper is a sun-grown Ecuadorian and dark brown in color. Only the best tobaccos and cigar rollers are used in the production of Winston Churchill cigars because, after all, they are named after the most famous cigar smoker of all times...Winston Churchill.




I have smoked one of each in the last few days. The wrappers look great, more like the old cuban wrappers rather than an Ecuadorian sungrown wrapper that it is.
The 5.5 x 46 Chequers was full bodied and fantastic.
The 7 x 48 Blenheim was medium bodied went through a few changes during smoking and was excellent.
The 5.5 x 52 #10 was also full bodied and had nice flavor.

Another fine cigar in my rotation!
