Cigarillo: Davidoff 'Minis' (7.5/10)

Davidoff is certainly one of the most well-recognised brands of luxury tobacco products; indeed some of their cigars can cost well over £100 each. As poor students, we unfortunately cannot offer our reviews of their upper-range, but we did try and thoroughly enjoy a box of their 'Minis.'

Although a Swiss brand, nearly all of Davidoff's cigar-tobacco supply comes from Cuba, and they are made in the Dominican Republic. Their cigarillos are no exception (well, the ones they sell in the States possibly are), and one can certainly taste that Cuban je ne sais quoi in their Minis. The cigarillos were tightly packed, had little tar but were moist nonetheless, and had a very nice flavour.

The Davidoff Mini cigarillos are definitely one that will impress (although much of that will be psychological simply because of the brand-name), but they are certainly a nice and enjoyable smoke. A pack of 20 cigarillos will cost around £17 in the UK (so certainly they are not cheap), but most certainly less in the EU (as a result of lower tobacco tax in most places).
