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.
