Cigar Weekly

I went over to a friend of mine's house for a little friendly card game the other night. Of course when you visit someone else's home, it's polite to bring a gift. So I brought him a Magnum 40 malt liquor and a Drew Estates egg.

He decided to smoke the egg, and donate the beer to the homeless. Go figure.

It was rather amusing to watch him smoke the thing; it looked like a cartoon cigar. It burned ok for the most part, but required a number of touch-ups, and he said the cigar was essentially flavorless. Very bland.

He was going to put it out halfway through, but smoked it to the end for the camera. Check out more pictures than you ever wanted to see of someone smoking an Egg here:

Once you get past the first inch, that thing looks like a drumstick!

I've smoked two of these believe it or not. It does indeed look like a chicken leg when it gets going. Or a dirty icecream cone...They are a bit bland i do say.

Why would you want to put this thing in your mouth and light it

And on top of being a hideous sight, the flavor profile is bland and tasteless

He had a nice VSG ER after this one -- made everything sublime.

Bingo! Let's just say that I doubt Drew Estates has many repeat customers for this cigar, unless they are buying it for a friend as a goof (like I did).

indeed...novelty is right...both of the ones that i had were joke gifts.

Pssssst!

Those really big cigars they give out at carnivals are novelties, too.

That's exactly why I want to get one... for novelty. Don't see many cigars that look like that. I'd also never smoke it.
