The cigar surprised thanks to its price vs taste and quality.

Construction

Even though the cigar had some softer parts the glow line was incredibly even and never had to be adjusted.

Wrapper: Connecticut shade Ecuador – Binder: Indonesia – Filler: Indonesia

Scent and cold draw

The wrapper of the Drew Estate factory smoke shade robusto had a scent of farmyard while the filler had a scent of hay. The cold draw offered me flavors of hay and herbs.

Lets light up the Drew Estate factory smoke shade robusto

The Drew Estate factory smoke shade robusto was not particularly complex and the flavors I felt from the beginning were the same until the end. There was no special texture, just a light airy creaminess. The flavors the cigar offered were hay, herbs, general pepperiness, classic tobacco and biscuit. In the background there were shades of general sweetness, cinnamon, coffee and florality. The retrohalation was rough and gave shades of hay and white pepper.
