Private Stock (Davidoff 2nds)
Private Stock is a bundle/cheap box (depending on where you buy it) that is made by Davidoff. They don't put their name on it but these are great sticks. I bought some in duty free Malta and they tasted exactly like the $30 Davidoff sticks. I just got some from the US and they came in a box, unlike the bundle from malta, and they had an ugly little band on 'em. I loved the first bundle that i had so I hope this one is as good. They're very creamy with a mouthful of smoke and some interesting flavors all delivered with perfect construction and a smooth consistency. I have only had the Churchills (#1s) so I'd love to see what others have thought.

I like these a lot. I've had the no. 5's. Nice creamy leathery spicy flavours.

I just saw these and was wondering about them. I may have to make an order with Famous smoke for a few things now!

Maturing Puffer Fish
|
I have been smoking Private stock 14's (Churchill)for quite a few years and they are billed as ungraded cigars. From what I've been told these cigars are made from the tobaccos of a variety of Davidoff sticks and consequently batches will taste and smoke differently. I have seen that as a fact. Almost all of the ones I have had were good to great, however some boxes are better than others. So good a stick that I had a few boxes at my daughter's wedding last year and had picture bands put on them to make them a wedding cigar. People loved them!-Great smoke for a great price.

Are these the same thing?
http://www.cigarworld.de/shop/detail.php4?artnr=01113 Also a Private Stock Medium is available: http://www.cigarworld.de/shop/detail.php4?artnr=01121 What about 3x3 Tubos? I heard that they too are some kind of seconds, but should be quite tasty. Anyone tried these? http://www.cigarworld.de/shop/detail...artnr=01172601 |

Private stock or not
I'm not totally sure about your first link, but I've seen 2 different cigar bands for this cigar. Mine are like the second link you have. I have linked two different types of bands for you to look at.
#1 Seconds off the Davidoff line one size only #14 http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...m=CS-STA&cat=3 second link #2= cuttings blended to make cigars different size cigars http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...m=CS-XTA&cat=3 It seems to me that one band is a seconds line of Davidoff cigars and the other band has mixed up tobacco cuts from Davidoff, AVO, and Griffin cigars. So to get what might be the better cigar go for the darker band first. The band with the white circle is from the cigar blend cuttings. That is what I have. http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=449709 Haven't had one yet, but I plan on it. Quote:

yes, the image above in the bundle are the cigars I originally found in Malta. They tasted just like top quality davidoffs. The ones in the red band seem to be basically the same thing but the packaging is different and the ones I've had have been less consistent than the first bundle. Who knows though, it could just be a fluke. Anyone else have both kinds?
