TL;DR - the cigar is like a cocoa / espresso parfait 🍨 washed down with cola. Recommended! 👍 6 months aged ⏳️ Pre-light flavor is apricot with floral and light barnyard nose. Goldilocks draw. Light-up is outstanding. Starts with a sweet, light cocoa with a little nut. Cola (like, watered down) on retrohale. Different, and I like it. At the 1/3 transition espresso bean joins in. This one was consistent and great to the end. Drew Estates delivers again!
Aged 4mo. Draw a bit airy, burn wavy but no touch ups. Rich flavors of chocolate espresso and earth with a touch of sweet. Pairing with Kaniche Perfeccion Rum brought out the chocolate and espresso flavors in the cigar and the sweetness of the rum was enhanced. Delicious!
Exceptional Maduro, slightly on the bitter side. Coffee and cocoa.
Solid flavor throughout. As expected as far as medium bodied, no draw issues at all to speak of.
Finally picked this one up and decided to whip it out of the humidor to accompany me during some yard work.
I had hoped it had some of rich, layered flavor from the higher end liga privada line but I was sorely disappointed.
I thought that for a maduro it was incredibly light with terribly thin smoke and a very underwhelming production of smoke.
I will try it again someday because people love these but it was a huuuuuge flavorless letdown.
On the stronger side, good flavor and value. Overall pretty good.
