I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, but I really enjoyed it. Taken straight out of the humidor, it lasted around 20 minutes, and the flavour was excellent, very sweet on the lips, smooth, and fuller than you’d guess from the small size. For me, it could easily jump into the “favourite of its type” list. The Sumatra wrapper and the light infusion combine for a mellow but satisfying smoke. It’s one of those little cigars that punches above its weight. I’ll definitely keep a tin in the rotation.

If you’re looking for a solid, flavorful cigar at a low cost,something you can enjoy regularly without worrying too much, Factory Smokes Maduro fits the bill. It delivers good Maduro‐style flavor (coffee, chocolate, pepper) at a bargain. But if you expect high‐end craftsmanship or intricate flavor transitions, you may be slightly underwhelmed.

This one didn’t quite hit the spot for me. It wasn’t terrible by any means, but compared to some of the other Drew Estate cigars I’ve enjoyed, it just felt a bit different. The flavour came across stronger and a little stranger than I expected, not unpleasant, just not as well-balanced as the rest of their range.
I took it out of the humidor for about an hour before lighting up, and it started off fine, but about halfway down it began to burn my mouth slightly, which didn’t help the experience. It’s still a decent smoke, but for me, it lacks the smoothness and sweetness that I usually love from Drew Estate. Not one I’d rush back to, though I’m glad I gave it a try.

The perfecto is my favourite vitola and this short is just right for my ideal smoke time. I got around an hour out of it, taking my time to savour it. Coffee and leather are the main tasting notes, which also happen to be my favourite, later developing some pepper spice. For me, this is the perfect cigar but the price tag will keep this one a rare treat.

My go to cigar at the minute. Lovely smoke with around 40 minutes smoke time. Palate isn’t there at the minute so I couldn't really taste a lot. Very light and mild smoke.

What a lovely smoke. Amazing flavours, held the ash perfectly. Lots of smoke (which I personally adore). Will definitely be buying more of these in the future. If you have not tried, I highly recommend
