Davidoff Coffee 100% arabica...(?)

OK, tried the Davidoff coffee today. The black & grey package.
Opened the sealed package - almost no smell came out.
And so tasted the coffee - not much. :|
Quite sour as an espresso with no special character.
With milk it looses the sourness, but as it has no special coffee aroma, and no body, you get a hot milk drink with a whiff of coffee aroma - but not even a good one.
Even when I got a melange made with a Faema I didn't taste much different.

Sorry to say, but even as a none smoker who has Davidoff smoking inlaws, I think the cigarettes are more tastily then the coffee.
Made the samples on a La San Marco commercial machine, double shot espresso with 16 gr.
On a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best) I would give it a 2.

(PS.: showed the beans to a roaster later who said he doubts the 100% arabica.)

All above comments are my unprejudiced personal opinion.
Luckily there's no accounting for taste.
So what I don't like might please someone elses taste buds.
:D
"Latte" is french for "you've paid too much for your coffee"
