Regius Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Stuart
I ordered two of these and smoked them in two very different circumstances.
The first was within a week of purchase on an evening dog walk. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. With nothing more than a bitter smoke which tasted like the first ever cigarette I smoked behind the bike shed at school. It stuck at the back of the throat and tasted like the smell of a pub the morning after the night before (pre-smoking ban)! After it went out the second time at about 1/4 left, I binned it.
I put the second in the humidor and was ready to leave it there forever. Until one sunny evening, around 3 months later, with a whiskey old fashioned at my side, I decided to take a chance. After all, I had an Upman Coronas Junior as a back up.
Pre-light was uneventful and I was ready for more bitterness when lit, but was pleasantly surprised. My first hit was sweet and mellow, completely the opposite to the first.
It burnt quickly but evenly, lasting a good 40 minutes. The taste remained sweet throughout the whole smoke, with introductions of walnut and woodsmoke it was very plea

A brilliant stick. full of flavor and has a very unique two toned wrapper that always catches the eye. I've been lucky to try a lot of the Drew Estate vitolas.. but Undercrown Robusto always made a regular comeback in my Humidor
I'm glad CGars has this range in stock. A definite must have in your arsenal :)

Quintero Favoritos Cigar - 1 Single
by Oldrich
Poor construction, poor burn, average taste. I am not impressed in the slightest, and will not be ordering this sad excuse for a cigar again.

Wow! Infused cigars are not to everyone's tastes but the people at Drew Estate know their stuff. This solid and nicely wrapped robusto has an unfinished foot and a strong pre-light floral pot-pourri aroma with hints of fragrant cardamom and spicy citrus. The sweetened tip is also quite strong and the pre-light draw is full of milky, sugary Earl Grey tea with a little spicy tingle running underneath. On lighting the cigar pumps out tons of aromatic smoke and the sweetened draw is quite overpowering, so have a glass of water handy. Nice even burn with pale, white ash but a little loose and flaky. I'm already an admirer of Drew Estate's cigar blends and I know these won't be to everyone's tastes but overall a very pleasant change from the norm.

A great light smoke with very little after taste. Smooth and even burn ideal for the first timer.
