Drew Estate Deadwood SJ Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Saturday 06 May, 2023 by Nicholas

Not entirely what I expected. The cap is sugar-sweetened (not a big fan of this, and found myself cutting a little further to bypass it). The flavour is akin to pipe tobacco, a little soapy and earthy. Occasional hints of spice. No real cocoa/nuts/cedar/leather/saline/savoury notes as you might expect from Nicaraguan cigars Probably pairs well with milder tasting drinks, or maybe a spicy rye whiskey If you like pipe tobacco, this is like a cigar form; likewise if you like sweetened cigars this will be great for you. It lasts 30min+ Ive given it a 4/5 because the wrapper is a great maduro colour, construction and burn was perfect, draw brings plumes of smoke and texture. Perfectly humidified as packaged. Flavour is nice, and it represents a different experience to normal cigars. On flavour alone, personally its a 2-3/5.

Ive become a big fan of Drew Estate cigars since beginning this journey Their mastery of sweet, sweet & spice, and coffee infusions result in a Willy Wonka styled adventure with this particular stick. Before lighting, theres a beautiful, sweet chocolate smell that kick-starts the senses. Toasted so easily, blessing the air with a hot chocolate aroma. To the lips, its deliciously sweet, maybe too sweet for some. This transfers to the palate, and becomes warmingly hot chocolate through the nose. Theres a nice balanced spice to this stick, that tones down the sweetness in the mouth. Through the whole stick, the smoke never became harsh. I found the draw just perfect, allowing a good pull but without getting over hot. Perfect for a quick break and a nice coffee.
