well the ones i was able to smoke are pretty tasty. not the best of the davidoff line but hendrik kelner knows his shite, so it was expected from me to be a good blend.
i am one of the first to back the prices behind the davidoff line,but i must agree....these are not worth the price...just my
the marrekesh is my favorite of the line.
nice review!
Funny you should mention cracking. I bought 2 Chequers and 2 Blenheims - one of the Blenheims cracked all to hell and back before I could smoke it. I actually enjoyed the ones that did not crack quite a bit, but the enjoyment was not commensurate with the price.

I was in a local B&M last Friday and they had 3 sizes of these and there wasn't a one of them amongst the 3 open boxes that I would have even taken for free - all cracked open and IMHO probably totally unsmokable.

Another totally different B&M I was in today had all 4 sizes and while most looked smokable, they were all rough looking and not something I would pay $ for.

I am a big Davi fan but there are better smokes for the $.
