I woke up with a slight hangover and it's sunny and warm here in Vegas today. I wanted to sit out back and relax with a mild smoke, so I grabbed one out of the humidor. Gotta figure a cigar called "milk" will be pretty easy on you.

It is a figurado shape, looks like a La Aurora preferido #1, except the wrapper is claro. It smells sweet and is a little moist. It clips and lights easy.

The first few draws are pretty sugary tasting. After a bit, there is a mild to medium tobacco flavor with some light spice. The ash holds well and is a light grey. The flavor never really got heavy at all. A little over halfway through the wrapper began to canoe and the smoke became a bit hot. It wasn't a major problem because the draw was really smooth. Towards the end, it got really sugary again, kind of tropical tasting.

Overall, a nice mild hangover cigar. The burn problems were not a big deal, and like other Drew Estate cigars, it makes for a nice change up smoke. A 7.5 out of 10.

I'm gonna pick-up a few of these and some of the others!I might be in the minority here...but this line is pretty-decent!

Unlike that Chanel #5 shit from Acid and Lars!

Greg, I have a leche and some Brooklyn's for you. The Natural line are some really well constructed cigars. Some of the blends are outstanding. Unfortunatley, they have not been able to distinguish themselves from their Acid product line or the always shitty Lars'.

The Naturals are good, but a bit pricey for me. I smoked one of those Brooklyn's last night and burnt my fingers on it! Thanks Zebo!

Glad to hear SSJ. I still have 17 left if you'd like more.
