Davidoff Royalty

bought this on a trial expecting the same quality and flavor from Davidoff as found in their cigars. i went with the royalty blend over other blends based on description catering to my preference ( i like bold/ spicy/ strong). disappointingly, its not really that special. its more of just a bitter and bland overall flavor than expected. its not bad or displeasing - it has a full body, and i would smoke it again if YOU offered it to me, but i probably wont buy it again for myself since Peterson is hands down tastier in the pipe tobacco world.

I am not sure this deserves the title of Royalty. Having tried ever blend of Davidoff I can get my hands on this is more of the high quality one would expect, but, alas, certainly not such an upgrade as to be deserving of the title "Royalty". I suppose for that reason alone I would knock this to 4 of 5 stars. Had they called it something like "Mighty Fine Orientals & Lakita" then I would have been forced to agree. However, I would strongly suggest buying a full line up of Davidoff with Royalty, Red, Blue and Green to then "sample each" on a day to day basis as that experience is worthy of being had if you like nice things...

New pipe smoker here. Been at it a month. This blend was pretty smooth, though I wasn't expecting the peppery hit. It was pleasant enough. About mid-bowl it really got rolling and it was very pleasant. Very nutty, and smooth. Almost creamy at the back of the throat. I was outside smoking, so I didn't get much of the room note, though it did smell very pleasant. It is a good tobacco, though I don't know if it would be a good starter. Don't know for sure just my opinion. Still, quite the tasty smoke and I have it in my daily rotation.

Excellent blend. Has that nice fermented smell that I like, and smokes down to a fine white ash with no moisture left in the pipe.

Gourmands of every type are to be found exercising their palates in wines, spirits, and food - and many other things these days. For perceptive people, it's a way to hone and refine their strengths, and for others it's a connection with the subconscious powers that are innate, yet underused in the everyday life of the majority of people, whose experience is dominated by the egocentric intellect. For those who use tobacco as their vehicle to the perceptive powers of the human psyche, fine blends abound, indeed we seem to be somewhat spoiled for choice. Well here, shipmates, is one that you must try if you haven't before. Other reviewers have unjustly diminished the role of the Latakia in this exquisite, classically English mixture. The quality of the Virginias and the balance of the authentic formula - Virginias & Orientals with Latakia - results in what is for me the quintessential English experience. It's not the strongest, by far. But it's not weak by any definition, and darkens toward the end of the bowl. The Latakia is definitely the furthest forward, but balances joyously with the brightness of the Virginias. The orientals too are present, in just the right place to bring out the complexity of the Virginias and let you explore your capacity for identifying the bouquet that wafts up from your bowl. There are no added Burlies or Cavendish to lend the coveted sweetness to the room note; the mixture is pure English, and relies instead on the quality of the Virginias to make this remarkably acceptable to the ladies and other company, considering the strength of the mixture. I discovered this only recently, while searching for a replacement for my beloved Frog Morton, and I'm delighted by the discovery. If they were Scotches, the Frog would be Ardbeg, and Royalty Lagavulian. Davidoff is usually good stuff, and here they don't disappoint. This is my special occasion pipe, the good stuff I smoke to celebrate.

better than expected, but not to be listed with my favorites. a matter of personal taste.

Amazing taste and smells like a good campfire

Pretty good. Nothing outstanding- other than the surprise that its not as good as was expected. I mean, with a name like "Davidoff".. Guess Dunhill has me spoiled.

Smokes very nice with nice room note

I still love Davidoff tobacco especially royalty....i don't see the day I'd ever quit...!! 4 thumbs up!!

Best

Typically not a fan of Davidoff unless it's free. This was a good tobacco. It was very heavy on the Virginias so it made for a more mellow and relaxing type of English style.

This is a nice smoke, the matured virginias smell delicius, very fermeted, the latakia is very condimental along with the turkish. About the flavor, i think theres not topping on this, but have a good tasty sauce on it, is taste like slightly sweed almond taste with hints of butter. The tobacco is a very fine ribbon cut, so you must treat this like a lady, with care and respect or you will burn your tongue.

Simply exquisite!

Happy new year 2017 Davidoff is okay good

Wonderful smoking tobacco!
