I got one of these sticks over at the Cigarfest, now I am not a real fan of flavored cigars, but I tell ya... these ain't bad. I only had one in the bag, now I think I may have to buy or trade for a few.

I do recommend these smokes to my fellow BOTLs, I was very pleasantly surprised, and you be will too!

IMHO... Enjoy!

Peter,

Have to go the other way with ya on this one i really like the constuction of the cigar but the taste was really funky....

I got mine at CigarFest as well, and I gotta agree w/ Da-Glyde.....Mine started bad...and got worse. Life's too short to smoke bad cigars, drink bad beer, or dance w/ ugly women...

for those who do or don't like 'em... why?

what is it in particular that makes them "bad" or "good" to you? taste is all over the place, so some particulars would be helpful. 🙂

Got mine at CFest also. I'm buying a box sometime soon. My tastebuds found them to be a smooth medium-bodied smoke with a hint of flavor to them. Judge for yourself.

Dont like cigars that have a strange unidentified flavor, I.E. most other Drew estates, which this one is.

GIG'em,

heh. thanks, dan. that clarifies it a bit. a buddy of mine refuses to smoke DE acids because he says "they smell -- and taste -- like an old french (prostitute)."

i shudder to think how he knew this.

i've got a small kahlua; think i'll have to break down and just smoke it soon. the thing i'm hoping not to find is that it has that fake-sweet taste to it. sugar cane tip sweetening can be decent, but that fake sweet crap that so many flavored cigars has is just... wrong. like nutrasweet is wrong.

I tried mine w/ a cup of coffee,thinking it would be a perfect combo. To better describe the flavor, I'd say strong "artificial flavor". The taste of the cigar wrapper itself was not unpleasant, tasting sorta like Kalhua, but that was quickly overwhelmed by the artificial,sweet taste,and that made me want to scrape my tongue. I admit I do not care for flavored cigars, and was hoping that this may be an exception. As I recall, there was also a bitter, or acrid flavor present as well. I tossed it half way.I hope this helps.

All I can say is Yuck!!! The tip is overly dipped in what ever concotion they came up with. It made me want to cut the end off so I could smoke the cigar. Towards the end it wasn't to bad because the flavor was mostly out of the tip. But still I had to force myself to finish the cigar. I won't be any competition in the bidding on these puppies. They're all yours...
