The Difference - What's the difference?
Do you know the difference? Four Davidoff cigar lines are presented under The Difference.
The White Band is

The four lines are called White Band Collection. It is a timeless icon of sophistication and elegance. The difference to other cigars is, among other things, the strict quality control. In other words: When the white band closes around a cigar, it is the final act in a ritual of Caribbean passion and Swiss precision.
Cigars.Zone would like to help you understand this difference.

Conclusion: The strength of the Davidoff Aniversario Special „R“ should not be underestimated. It has a strength of 3/5, depending on the day even a strength of 4/5.

A marvellous pleasure, also in combination with a champagne, which goes perfectly with this cigar.

A cigar test is subjective. The flavour of a cigar is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the mood of the day, what you have eaten or drunk beforehand. Even the lighting in the room influences the flavour experience. The flavour nuances described here therefore do not necessarily correspond to your own impressions.
