Davidoff Millenium - Petite Corona

Ah winter time is here and I'm enjoying lots of alone time in my cigar lounge which I have recently created in my garage.  After a morning trip to Walmart and a breakfast of eggs, cheese, corn tortillas and habanero sauce it was the perfect time to settle in to a fine cigar. I put on some phish radio based off my favorite song as of late entitled "Miss You" and selected a Davidoff cigar to smoke

Pre-light

The davidoff millenium petite corona is quickly becoming one of my favorite morning cigars with a good strong cup of coffee. The time is 8:30 AM and I get a pleasant manure smell off of the foot of the cigar before lighting it up. The pre-light draw is just about as perfect as it gets and I get that wonderful saltiness on my lips along with notes of cedar.

I decided to go with a punch cut as I typically do for these smaller form factor cigars as I feel that allows for the most flavor to come through. It makes for a bit of a tighter draw though but that isn't a problem at all on these Davidoff cigars as the draw is about perfect.

First Third

The smoke off the foot gently burns my nostrils upon first light in a subtle way and the salt on m lips is very good. The first few puffs yield a very creamy mouth feel, hints of cedar and chocolate cocoa.

Second Third

Not much new is happening on the second third at first but as I get further into the pepper spice ramps up a little bit and nuts and caramel come into the picture. I literally say "This tastes like a snickers bar out loud". Now I'm hooked. What a lovely cigar.

Final Third

The sweetness has faded and the cedar comes to the forefront. The strength has ramped up and the nicotine buzz is perfect to carry on with the rest of my morning. I have smoked a few of these cigars in the last few weeks and also made notes of the following flavors: sweet spice, coffee, cinnamon and cedar.

Final Thoughts

This cigar is more than box worthy and I will be purchasing a box so I can put it into my regular morning rotation. 

The cigar could really be an anytime of the day smoke for me but I particularly like it when I want a quick smoke that is luxurious at the same time and allows me to escape the world.
