Cigar Weekly

Beautiful little cigar with a pig tail. Same size as the Undercrown Papas Ftitas. The cold draw is perfect.

From the start I get a totally different vibe than I did with the Phineas Gage. Similarities, but a different feel. The ash is mainly white and solid. The burn is perfect.

In the first third the flavor profile is earth and peppers on the palate. The ash remains mostly solid and the burn remains even.

During the second third, I felt a “roundness” to the smoke that was, literally, earth, wind and fire. The only way I can explain this is to tell you to try it. Ash is somewhat delicate in the breeze, but the burn holds firm.

Approaching the final inch the flavor profile is absolutely bursting with sweetness, cedar, and volcanic earth. The retrohale is deceptively smooth with just a hint of pepper at the end. The construction is perfect and the complexity is excellent. 9.7/10, Joe Bob says you must check this out.

Great review, and you know my thoughts on Drew Estates (you might just be helping to change it).
In the last pic what is that odd looking poker thing? Looks like Senator Felderman from PA

Great review. Thank you. I see a lot of people enjoy these so must be something to that. I'll get some added to my wish list.

They are a near-perfect quick smoke.
