    Question

    I am curious what others here think of the 80th compared to the 05 and LE22 as I dont have too much experiance with those,but most on some other boards believe the 80th was the lesser of the 3 in quality and taste.

    Thank you

    I wasn't impressed at all with the 80th I've smoked a few, and they just seem average to me. Not up to anniversary standards in my opinion... The box is nice though...

    After reading cigar no baka's review, I also found it to be a strong cigar, perhaps a bit too strong. It propably needs time to mellow out some in the humidor.

    As compared to the LE5, I like the LE5 better... not quite as strong, but a similar flavor profile, and very enjoyable out of the box

    I was told by the Davidoff rep that the LE05's are done - never to be produced again. Grab any box you can because that's it.

    Supposedly they're coming out with a production version of the 22 blend. Supposed to be the same cigar and the LE Version, but will be pretty readily available...

    I still like the LE05 the best - and haven't had a 22 yet. The LE05's rock, as bluesman says, and I think they may be marginally better than the 80th. To me, the interesting thing about the 80th is - it is definitely a strong cigar as far as strength, but I think it's a medium bodied cigar. Usually those two go hand in hand, but clearly this is MUCH different...

    A great cigar, no doubt!!
