Nice smooth stick this, especially considering the price point

Mmm, what can I say? My first Drew Estate cigar, and it's classed as a bundle cigar, so it's in their cheap range. The dry draw was promising, and the construction seemed good. Upon lighting, the first third was nice, with lovely maduro flavors but not overpowering. The second third, the flavors still held up nicely, but the construction seemed to suffer. The burn was uneven and kept going out, and a big split started in the side, losing that decent draw. Still, the flavors were okay.
The final third's strength built up, as in all cigars, but the construction just gave me problems. Fell apart in the end.
I will try another one down the line to see if it was just a bad stick.

A very pleasant smoke, especially after a few weeks in the humidor.
Easily an hour of a delightful and balanced smoke? and costs less than some of the others in the same price range.

Davidoff Yamasa Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
One of Davidoff?s finest 👌 wow, very creamy smoke and I could sense the slightly sweet, nutty and earthy flavours.
More towards full than medium in strength, and 55 mins of absolute delight.
Highly recommend!

Quai d Orsay No. 52 Cigar - 1 Single
by chris
I hate complaining and most times put up with it but I bought two of these yesterday and not even ten minutes in with a few puffs (that were incredibly difficult) it began unravelling from the lit end. I know it's hit n miss with hand rolled cigars but it's a pisser when it happens.
