Davidoff Millennium Blend
So lately I’ve been trying to think of different cigars to review that we haven’t covered yet on the site. It seems like we’ve reviewed some brands multiple times while completely ignoring others. So today I’m firing up the Millennium Blend to mark our first Davidoff review.
Name: Millennium Blend
Company: Davidoff
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sun-grown
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican
Price: $10-12
Comes in: Box of 25
Vitola: Petit Corona (4 1/2 x 41)
Pre-Light
It’s hard to beat Davidoff quality. Generally speaking their cigars are beautifully constructed, and this petit Millennium Blend was no exception. Major veins were absent from the chocolate colored wrapper and I could tell that the filler tobacco was bunched evenly. The cigar felt smooth to the touch and solid in my hand. I took a few sniffs of the wrapper and noticed a pleasant woody note. A similar aroma came from the foot of the cigar, however, it was a more robust aroma than the wrapper. All in all this cigar was pleasing to both the eyes and hands. Now it’s time to see if it’s pleasing to the palate.
Final Thoughts
I really enjoy this cigar and can seriously foresee myself smoking more in the future. Like I mentioned in the video, I had a couple a few years ago, and didn’t revisit the line until just a couple weeks ago. I was not disappointed! the Millennium Blend provided the same bold flavors that I enjoyed back then while maintaining a smooth balance. Unfortunately a $10-12 petit corona might not work it’s way into everyone’s budget, but I would suggest giving it a try if you get the chance.

First time I had a Millennium Blend I was unimpressed for a $14 Short Robusto. I had one given to me by the Davidoff rep in my area a couple years later and I really enjoyed it, although the price tag had risen in the intervening years and I still find it a bit hard to accept.
My bottom line: great cigar, way too pricey, but suitable for special occasions.
Thanks for the review, Chris. I’ve only smoked one Davidoff cigar and enjoyed it, but the price tag keeps me from going back for more.
Thanks for the review Chris. I would love to try one of these cigars, but I have to agree with Chris McCann on the price being too high. Keep on smoking.
I have smoked several of the Davidoff line of cigars and loved everyone of them.The maduro robusto is my favorite.
Haven’t had the MB but the other two Davidoff’s I’ve had were not worthy of the price tag. I’d much rather enjoy an Illusione ~hl~.
Thanks for the review… I may end up trying one in the future.
I agree – the Davidoff’s have impeccible construction, and look beautiful. But maybe it was me or just the two I’ve tried, but I’ve just not been impressed with the flavor. Throw in the cost factor, and I just don’t see myself spending more funds on these when there are tons of great cigars out there for less money.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
It is another Great review Chris, I have not tried a Davidoff Cigar. I’ve seem them at my B&M shop but the price was much too high for my pocket.
