Herrera Esteli by Drew Estate Lonsdale Especial

The wrapper is very smooth and the bunch is perfect. The aroma is very pleasant with a touch of sweetness. The cold draw is perfect. Today’s beverage is a cold Topo Chico.



The initial flavors are sweet tobacco with some cherry in the background. There is medium black pepper in the retrohale. The burn is very even.



In the first third cedar notes join the flavor profile for an excellent complexity. The smoke is very smooth and plentiful. The burn remains even.



During the second third a nuttiness joins the already excellent complex flavors. This is a very medium bodied cigar. It aslo remains very smooth. The burn continues to be very even.

Approaching the final inch the flavors remain very complex and the construction is flawless. A bit more fruitiness joined the flavors. 8.75/10, Joe Bob says check it out.

I remember liking these, but it's a long time since I've had one. Nice review!
