I really wanted to rate these so as to maybe keep someone from buying them, but I couldn't find them. I even looked under "dogrocket". Am I just not finding them?

Which Drew Estate cigar are you looking for? The Acid and Natural lines are both under "Acid". I don't know of any of the other lines they make.

I'd rather be driving; either golf balls or my Dodge!

It was a Natural. I had no idea it was an Acid or I would have never tried it. I swore I'd never smoke an Acid or a Lars. I feel so cheap. At least I now know why it tasted like clove cigarettes.

Gumby, a Natural is not an Acid. Drew Estates makes several different lines. They are Acid

Natural

and Industrial Press

I hope that's cleared up!

Believe it or not, I like the Natural cigars.

As a matter of fact, I like the ACID to. I had a sampler of each and enjoyed them so much that I bought a box of the China 5.

I can see where you might not like the unusual flavors, but IMO you are shortchanging them on construction, burn and overall quality. I also enjoy the creativity of sizes.

Lars on the other hand are put together poorly and suffer a lot of inconsistency.

Give the Green Hero a chance.

One sunny afternoon by a backyard koi pond in Cincinnati I leaned back in a lawn chair with a glass of something or other and a little, ugly Acid Nasty. It looks like a little black Bugle (the corn snack) and tastes of unsweetened Sen-Sen. You may not remember Sen-Sen, a popular breath freshener from years and years ago. I loved that little Nasty cigar. It lasted longer than I thought it would, had beautiful aromas that seemed to change with the wafting breezes, and flavors of licorice root, coffee beans and cocoa and earth. Try one outdoors on a lazy afternoon with your favorite drink, when the sun is out and the wind is gentle.

I just smoked a Green Hero that was sent over in a trade. I believe it was flavored with Latakia, a tobacco that all you pipe smokers will recognize. It certainly was well made, burned evenly, was mild ... but did not really taste like a cigar. More like a very mild English pipe tobacco.
