Davidoff Year Of The Rabbit 2023 - the test

Davidoff Year Of The Rabbit 2023 - in Switzerland from 17.11.22: It is the eleventh consecutive anniversary of the Year Of line from Davidoff. This time it is a Perfecto format. The package contains 10 fine cigars in an outstanding box. The cigar costs CHF 50.00 / pc. I tested four cigars before the launch. Tip: Below at Resources on the topic you will find the link to the presentation of the complete line. There's stuff in it... just beautiful!

A cigar test is subjective

Note: How the cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the shape of the day, what you have eaten or drunk before. Even the lighting mood in the room has an influence on the experienced taste. The notes described here therefore do not have to match your own impressions.

Davidoff Year Of The Rabbit 2023 in Perfecto format (cigar runs pointed to the foot and head). In the first 5 minutes I do not count a Perfecto format for scoring. Only then, when the ash reaches the thicker part of the cigar: The reason: The tobacco in the tip is not contained by the blend as from the thick part. Of course, this is not a fault of the cigar, but is normal. Also, the burn can be uneven in the first five minutes; this is also not a fault of the cigar. As you can see from the photo, the ash is compact and the burn is even.

The wrapper: silky, oily /// The cigar is evenly constructed, the color is a nice medium brown. The cold draw is slightly sweet. The lighting succeeds easily and the draw resistance is optimal.

Interesting: In all four specimens, there were three times of crooked burn in similar places. It corrected itself on all specimens, only once per cigar the flame had to help. This is all in the green zone.
Beautiful illustration of the rabbit.
The second anilla shows the hare; I personally like the design of the illustration. I also like that the rabbit's tips overhang the edge of the anilla, as well as his chin. I just love little details like that.

Aftertaste Impressions: Tongue, retronasal and R+ technique it is slightly intense and has left a lasting positive impression on me.

The room note (aroma of the smoke) seems "rich" to me. Difficult to describe. It smelled pleasant, not at all intrusive, but had a "warm" impression on me. (how can you bloss so much about smoke...) 😉

Davidoff Year Of The Rabbit 2023: The taste

Very nice taste.
The cigar slowly increases during the smoke and the flavor nuances become more intense. It is a cigar that does not overwhelm you at all; therefore, it is excellent for a beginner. It has pronounced coffee bean nuances (slightly acidic), and on the tongue, retronasal as well as R+ technique.
Wonderful!
All four copies tasted similar. Small differences there were, of course, because I tested them at different times. It is slightly peppery, with time comes a little leather.
The ash breaks.
In this photo and the one that follows, you can see the ash falling off 🙂
Hui :)
We're in luck: The Davidoff Anilla is grazed, but it stays in place for the final photo (next photo).
Final!
In the course of the second half, a good portion of soil is added. I enjoyed the specimens very much. I recommend acclimating for 14 days after purchase (with cellophane in the humidor, or the whole box in the humidor). Also check out Year Of The Rabbit's presentation of their complete line: Ashtray, Tobacco Pipe, etc.. You can find the link below in Resources on the subject.

As always, "If the cigar tastes good to me, then maybe to you. But if you don't like it, then there's more for me!" 🙂
