Personally I think the Double R (a Special series as opposed to an Aniversario series) is a better cigar. It's a 7 1/2" x 50 while the Aniversario #1 is 8 5/8" x 48 so the Aniversario will take longer to smoke. I like the Aniversario #3 which actually is very similar to the Double R.
I've been to the Columbus Circle shop a couple of times but I like the one on Madison Avenue because it's bigger and the lounge is larger as well. Both of the Cigar Inn shops, midtown at 2nd and 54th and the one on Lenox Hill at 1st and 71st are authorized Davidoff dealers and stay open past 7:00 pm so those are my preferred places to by Davidoffs in Manhattan.
I pretty much like all the Davidoffs and will mix up my selections based on what I want at that particular time however generally, my order from most to least favorite is :
1. Gran Cru
2. Special
3. Millennium
4. Aniversario
5. Puro D'Oro
6. Thousand
7. Classic
