Anyone tried these, and if so which one(s)?

Conflicting data on the net whether they are infused/flavored...

Just bought a fiver of 'Jucy lucy' on a whim, and wondering what they will be like for a quick smoke...

They all contain some amount of various pipe tobaccos which have been cased (flavored).

Ehh, if you like pipe tobacco in a cigar, then maybe. I've tried a few, but am not a fan. Most where loosely rolled and quick burners.

Thanks for the info...

Now I doubt I will like them...

For my pipes I almost exclusively smoke Gawith & Hogarth black and brown ropes...I generally hate anything that is flavored or cased...
Not really into Latakia either...

The single exception to that is Sam Gawith 1792 flavored with Tonquin...

I take that back...I also have a Falcon dedicated to the very occasional bowl of Coniston Plug, which is about as nasty a Lakeland as can be found...

Smells like my old maiden aunt's toilet water back in the 60's...

It has probably been like 8 years since I had one...I think it was the Dirt. I don't remember much of it, but that it was alright. If I smoked it now I would probably hate it though.

I tried one or two when they first came out. Pipe tobacco taste and smell. Not for me, but they must be for somebody. If you like the smell/taste of pipe tobacco but not the difficulty of smoking a pipe, they might be for you. Pipes are a lot more fuss than cigars for the uninitiated.

I broke down and tried a Jucy Lucy last night...

I could detect no 'pipe tobacco', but the disgustingly sweetened tip had me toss the thing in 5 minutes...

Does Drew Estate actually make anything that doesn't have added flavors?

Lots...MUWAT (My Uzi Weighs a Ton), Liga Privada/Unico, Undercrown, KFC (sort of...as long as you don't mind the taste of a bonfire), Nica Rustica, Herrera Esteli, Norteno, Pappy Van Winkle, La Vieja.

In order of best to worst...IMO

Liga
Herrera Esteli
Norteno
Undercrown
Muwat
Nica Rustica
KFC
La Vieja (dog rockets)

Haven't had the Pappy Van Winkle

Good list although that Norteno/UC is a close one depending on the exact ones and sizes.

Just shows how we each have different tastes. My preference would be:
Liga
Nica Rustica
Undercrown
Herrera Esteli
Norteno
Muwat
KFC

I am not into flavored cigars and I do smoke pipes with flavored tobacco. Different types of tobacco and you can include cigarette tobacco as a third type.

Don't worry Frank. I'll take it easy on him, I promise. Whistle

Just because I've won all kinds of DE samplers for cheap does not mean the poor soul is going to get clobbered! Bwaaahaaahaaa. Bomb Spanking

All I caught was a decent largemouth and a few small ones on my Champlain fishing trip. No sign of Champ and no salmon.

I have a friend here near Boston who says he was from so far up north in Vermont they called people from Burlington "flat landers".
Beautiful, friendly state. Heading to Killington in June for a golf weekend.

You wanna get really north, head to Beecher Falls...

1/4 mile north and you are in Canada...100 Yards south and you are in New Hampshire...

People from the Northeast Kingdom all think those of us from 'The Valley' are flatlanders...

Vermont south is closer, but I rarely go there- fishing trip was around '80 and the last time I saw Champlain was on a stay at Lake Placid in upstate, NY around the turn of the century.
