Drew Estates Kentucky Flying Pig

(or piglet, since it's 4" long)



Another marque from the Jon Drew stable, and it also comes in a flying pig vitola. The cigar has a medium firm bunch, and the wrapper and foot smell like pipe tobacco. The pigtail clips off cleanly and provides a near perfect draw, also tasting of pipe tobacco.

Initial draw dispels any thoughts of it tasting like a pipe. Plentiful medium smoke with some sweetness and a light bite on the retrohale.



This is a four inch cigar so I'm probably going to break it down by halves.

There's a smoky character to the flavor, much like I was barbecuing while I was smoking it. Other than that the flavors are mainly well aged tobacco. The ash is solid and very light grey. The burn is perfect.

The strength builds as the cigar progresses and at half way it's a solid full body smoke. A sweetness persists to complement the full tobacco flavors. A very light touch of vanilla can also be detected.

The smoke only begins to get warm past the half way point and can be purged.

At one inch, like most cigars, it became too hot and I put it down. The construction was impeccable and the flavors were acceptability complex, but this is not a cigar for everyone. Still, it earns 8/10. Joe Bob says check it out.
