Warm weather is starting to infiltrate Northern NY, giving relief for my brothers of the leaf! No more scrambling for a place to enjoy our hobby in the icy cold North!
Turk and I had a great day hanging out in my garage sipping soda's and enjoying the great weather, while smoking up a really great cigar, courtesy of the Turk.
The write up on this cigar is as follows:
A complex, medium-bodied cigar that’s rich, silky-smooth, creamy, sweet, and booming with bold flavors. This toro, measuring 6" x 52, combines an exotic mixture of unique tobaccos with Brazilian and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Patiently aged and masterfully blended, these leaves are then coated by a dark and oily San Andres Negra wrapper from Mexico. The result is complex from the get-go and enjoyable to the nub.
The wrapper itself is a thing of beauty, veiny but very small veins. It is somewhat dark and an oily sheen can be seen on the wrapper. The cigar itself is firm with a flawless cap that is sweetened. Prelight draw is effortless.
Upon light, you get a good dose of pepper to the pallette which quickly mellows out. Definately sweet throughout the whole smoke with a prevalent taste of Irish whiskey. Reminds me of Erin Go Bragh cigars from CI. Both of which are very good smokes. Turk got a a taste of licorice part way through but did not linger.
Medium bodied, Ash was silvery white and hung on almost to the halfway point before falling off to reveal a decent cone. But about 1/3 left of the cigar the cone became blunt. Burn was fairly even throughout. And the best thing was it didn't have a long finish and left me with a clean pallete at the end.
Buzz Rating I give 8 out of 10. Nice buzz! Light on my feet feel good!
Overall I give 4 out of 5. Very good cigar! This is one of the best DE Naturals I have had. You can get a box of 6 for $28 from Cigars International. Thats less than $5 a stick for a good quality cigar. So if you are looking for a good quality flavored cigar to deviate from the norm, you can't go wrong with this Drew Estate treat!
Until next post..........Peace!
