Drew Estate Deadwood SJ Cigar - Tin of 10

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.
