I had one of these at the weekend. It was an hour and half of heaven which I smoked right down till it burned my finger tips. Strong flavours without being too heavy on the nicotine.

Its tasteful gold and royal navy band, dark attractive maduro wrapper and overall impressive presentation promise a great experience.
In fact it starts rather blandly with earthy, shallow tones dominating the first third of the cigar. Suddenly however, with a sudden rush, spice and pepper awake and begin to, at first dominate, and then balance the flavours and this becomes a weighty, majestic stick.
Its not harsh but certainly a heavy cigar that rewards patience and paired with a good, sipping Rye encourages melancholy and reflection as the clouds of dense smoke envelop you and tobacco settles into a grounded, even and flavoursome experience.
Not terribly nuanced perhaps but certainly an example of a thoughtful process that results in a great, leisured sit down.
This smoker might prefer mellower and sweeter but at this price point and considering the impressive built and burn its hard to put down and not demand a few more for your humidor moments after you are done and the cigar slowly dies down.

Drew Estate Acid Blondie Cigar - 1 Single
by Alistair
Good stick! Very similar to the Classic Connecticut Blue also by Acid. They maybe better as you can share with non-cigar smokers

The entire Winston Churchill selection from Davidoff is worth experiencing but Late Hour shaped to be something special from the get go.
Between the robusto and its longer brethren it is the Churchill that provides the definitive smoke largely due to the size and the impressive physical statue. Pleasure derived from cutting and lighting up this cigar as well as simply handling its deep brown coloured wrapper and the sheer weight of the stick itself is somewhat majestic.
This smoker would certainly agree with some other opinions that the taste is consistent throughout its lenght with coffee and chocolate persistent but enveloped in unmistakable sharp grain resulting from ageing tobacco in whisky barrels.
It is as satisfactory as sipping a good malt and certainly unique. This is one to respect and enjoy in peace and almost katharctic. If not for the immediacy it provokes with its flawless presentation I'd be keen to store and see how it refines in a humidor.
Definitely worth ones consideration if the inherent strength and complexity can be overcome for those who prefer milder c

I am a beginner cigar smoker, had this as a recommendation and the guy who recommend this to me was so right. This is a mild stick with very pronounced flavours. It leaves nothing to be thought about. Very slow burning, very big smoke output ( as most drew estates ) and very good construction. First flavour notes are: pepper, wood and a small amount of cedar. Throughout the cigar the sweetness increased slightly, leaving a creamy taste on the palate. The whole smoke was enjoyable with no burning issues. This is perfect for someone who’s just starting out into cigars as it’s mild but has good flavour. The smoke left a small aftertaste similar to earthy tones ( the only thing I could describe it to ) on the palate, but that soon wore off after another draw. Overall a very good cigar, worth the money. Hope this proved helpful to anyone.
