Hi was wondering if I could get some feedback from anyone who has tried this cigar. Man oh man i had this one today. Tons of smoke... great mild smoke....I had smoked a def sea two days ago and totally hated it. So I figured i screwed up when i won these green heros but instead I enjoyed the hell out of it. Wierd thing is the cigar smells like Uhg....and then the taste was mmmmmm tasty too funny.. Appreciate any feedback on this one

Rick

I am a Drew Estate fan myself. I like the Green Hero along with other's in the Natural line. I have tried every cigar in the Drew Estate family including the Def Sea. The Def Sea has to be my least favorite. You should try the Clean Robusto or Leche. Both great smokes from Drew. I have all kinds of Drew Estate info if interested. E-mail me at JJSJ425atAOL.com

I also like the Drew Estate cigars, but prefer the Naturals line. I am a big Root fan. They are a great dessert cigar! I traded for several Green Heroes and liked them as well. I just smoked a Mixed Elements and it was a decent cigar. The ash never broke and I smoked it down to a nub. It gave off great pillows of white smoke, and a nice mild flavor. I thought the aroma for this one was better than it's flavor though. The aroma was heavenly!!!

A hundred or so years ago I smoked a pipe and really liked a blend of tobacco made by Balkan Sobranie. It featured latakia leaf, supposedly cured on the thatched roofs of huts heated by burning camel dung, which smoke wafted thruough the roofs and through the tobacco, thereby imparting its unique flavor. Yes, at one time I enjoyed the flavor of camel dung smoke. They probably don't cure it that way anymore, but the Green Hero contains latakia leaf. I thought I would like it when I bought a box, but a quarter of the way through I realized I didn't and traded the rest off. Sort of like smoking a pipe, to me. I do like some of the Acids, though, especially Extraordinary Larry, 400cc, Nasty, and Number 1, for a rare change of pace.

BTW, I meant to say that I just smoked a Blackout, not the Mixed Elements cigar.

AAAAAAAAAHHH! The blackout. Definately a great smoke in my opinion. I enjoy the pimps, but these guys are better yet, when you want a torpedo to toke on at least!

One thing about the Natural Line, they have a great ash! I've never seen a cigar wrapped such as to produce an ash that lasted for the entire cigar like that Blackout did last night. A funny thing about this is that I was outside smoking it and there was a strong wind blowing and it didn't even affect the ash at all.

Did I mention that the aroma from this cigar was heavenly?!?! It is a very mild cigar, but a good one.
