Sorry for the delay in the review from the last been really bust of late.

Overview 

Dont know to much about these as there from Canada and before the other i have reviewed i had never tried one before. Quick google search reveals this for me the brand is named after Sir Gerald du Maurier a British actor and manager. Produced by Imperial Tobacco Canada. Became quite well known for there sponsorship of the Canadian women's open until 1999.

Packaging 
Very nice packaging i like it the red looks great .
8/10

The cig.

Very light tobacco one of the lightest i have seen the logos are on the filter says du M ( short for the full name of the brand) and has a red band. Smelling the Tobacco its not a very nice smell lets get it lit up, first drag it has a strong flavour feel a bit of a kick in the back of you throat  as it goes down. Quite a strong cigarette , getting a great nicotine rush of it great burn time very slow describing a flavour is a bit hard for me , but i can tell you its not to bad very smooth flavour
- A little harsh
- Smooth flavour
- Good burn time
- Good nicotine rush
- According to what i have read there expensive
Not to bad good smoke but not the best i have had.

7/10

Davidoff ID touch Orange ( UK )

Overview.

First off massive thank's to RJ for sending me these in a pack swap as there not available where i am and if you haven't already, please check out his great YouTube channel.

Firs off as i said these aren't available in the north or England only in places in the south on a trial base ( i will put some links at the end of the review , more reading on the launch ect.. ) Davidoff are a quality name they also produce cigars and pipe tobacco, by name alone i expect quality.They are a well established brand. The ID range has had a lot put into its launch around Europe, the pack is actually designed by up and coming artists , i don't know to much about Davidoff and this is my first ever cigarette from them. The after shave is actually a division of the cigarette company so from what i have read the aftershave is in a way the same company.

Price 
Davidoff usually have a high price and these follow suit and are around the £7 to £ 8 mark.

Pack

The pack is amazing as you will see in the pictures , has a great quality look to it. One of the best packs to have come out in recent times. Even with the warnings they have done a great job to still make it look amazing. Carry s a lot of information on the pack but still looks great and all the designs go together. This is a glide tec pack ( same as the new  Lambert & Butler ) this means there is a squar and you push it up and it opens a compartment and slides the compartment that holds the cigarettes. It very good and flashy but the pack becomes a lot bigger and dosent fit in your pocket as good and overhaul for that reason it can be a bit of a pain the the backside. But its still a great pack.
9/10

The cig

The great design even extends to the cig itself. The filter dosent usually house a design this does it says ID all over it it looks nice we then have two bands and it says Davidoff ID the designings on the cig looks great. Looks very well made no lose tobacco, papers got a OK roll on it. Dark coloured tobacco . Smells a bit like coco , dry drag sweet flavour to it. lets get lit up. First drag, very smooth flavour really easy going down every even burn  from the start. Great flavour for a 10 tar 0.8 nic and 10 carbon m im surprised at how smooth it is to smoke. Real full body to it , half way down getting a nice nicotine hit ive already had a few of these and to me this is a perfect cigarette nice burn time smooth smoke good nicotine hit. Its hard for me to describe flavours as some times its better to try them for yourself but its really good, different to other cigs it does stand out , but in a good way. Toward the end it does become a little harsher but is still a smooth smoke. Flavour stays consistent.Worth getting if you can get them where they are stocked.

Good points

-Great flavour stays consistent different from other brand available , its very unique and is great.
- Good burn time and every a even burn.
-Amazing pack design and cig design.
- Great nicotine hit.

Bad points.
-It has contact paper before the filter ( personal as i don't like it )
- The biggest problem for it only available in the south of England if anyone from Davidoff reads it please bring them out across the uk.

10/10- Really worth getting and trying they really are amazing.

Export A Review ( Canada )

Overview.


First off a massive thanks to RJ for sending me these in a pack swap without him this review wouldn't be possible. Great guy and great videos , so guys if you haven't already please check out his YouTube channel .

All i can tell you about theses is what i found on the internet , with them being from Canada i don't know to much about them, the brand is called Export , the a comes as part of the range from what i can gather from what i am reading about them. Produced by JTI Macdonald on Wikipedia it says there available around the world , i can tell you being from England i have never seen them before. The recognized products are the Export a line , there is a Export plain available ( Unfiltered ) aswell as a rolling tobacco. I think they are quit populour in Canada , but im not sure. On the pack it says they have been made since 1928.

Packaging.
( Pictures of packaging will be at the bottom of this review. )
Ignoring the HUGE warning that Canada has to have in both French and English , its in a green pack unusual for a non menthol cigarette. But the green works very well and goes nice with the white x and the writing and the women all go together to produce a nice pack , a little plain and basic though.
-8/10- Would be miles better if it was not for the warning's  bit plain and basic but overhaul a very nice well thought out pack that goes together.

The cig

First off the content is much higher than anything available in the E.U as Canada and America ect.. don't have limits.
The first thing you will notice is the small filter , it will shock nearly everyone , but this is actually how filters were when they were first introduced they were only small. This dosent effect its size , its a king size cigarette . As i said small filter , very light in colour green band where the filter meets the paper says Export 'A' in green and 2 more green bands. It has contact paper just before the filter i hate contact paper . Dry drag smooth flavour nice a sweet , smell before lighting it up , very sweet smell , but not that heavy.Light colour tobacco.
Lets get it lit up.
Good flavour from the first drag, not to harsh to me it goes down very smooth. Nice even burn from the start , i love the flavour its sweet , getting a good nicotine rush off of it. Burning nice a slow , still even. I'm picking up a smoky flavour to it ( i know it sounds stupid ) its quite unique to anything i have had before. Its giving off quite the nicotine rush as i haven't had stronger than a E.U cig in a while. Its a enjoyable cigarette, the flavour stays consistent.
8 out of 10
- Good flavour nice even burn not to bad a burn time great nicotine rush enjoyed it.






- Pack pictures - Canadian packs have large warning one side in English the other in French.
