Today I came across a cigar review that I thought I just had to share.

It was on a cigar called Jucy Lucy, By Natural. Yea with name like that Im gonna stop and take a gander.

Funny most were loving it and great things to say, then I came across a review where the guy just hated it, anyone try this? I'm not into flavored cigars just thought id ask cause im bored.

EDITed Post, didnt want to offend anyone.

Natuals are a great intro for a newb.

Acids are......an accquired taste.

Ligas are all outstanding.

I've had the Juicy Lucy a few times, and truth be told it was O.K. A short handsome little creation that is not infused with flavors, but, is rather a unique blend of different exotic tobaccos such as the Louisiana Perique( only grown in St.James Parish). It is this unique blend that creates the exotic flavors in the Natural line. If the tip weren't sweetened with sugar, these might be better.

The Natural line is NOT flavored. The tips are sweetened (gaak) but you can swish that off in your coffee or beer or whatever if you don't like it. Personally, I LOVE most of them, incl. Juicy Lucy. Dirt is definitely my favorite, though. I think I'd get sick of them if it were a daily-basis thing, but I ALWAYS have Dirt and Root on hand and they're DEFINITELY in my permanent rotation.

As Schusler said, to each his own. They are definitely different - I've been told that they're more reminiscent of a pipe. They definitely SMELL like a pipe when they're burning - the room note is wonderful, imo.

FWIW, DE infused stuff is NOTHING like any flavored you've ever had. Kuba Kuba is very popular, Blondies are amazing with a pale ale (and I don't usually like pale ales), java is ideal with ... well, morning java, and I still shed an occasional tear over the death of the Kahlua...

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated, Glad you mentioned the sweetened tip. I find those very annoying.

I guess theres no way of knowing till I try one. The only Drew Estate Ive had is a ACid Toast and it was definately different. Was not really my thing. Ive heard good things bout the blondie and the pimp stick's but figured they were all pretty close just different aromas.

Oh And I like pipe tobacco, Have some McClellands and Dunhill that I keep on hand. Thanks again

I generally enjoy perique/virgia blends when I am pipe smoking Never had a chance to try them in cigar form. I will have to make note of the juicy lucy to try in the future.

Can't let a DE Natural post go by without mentioning MY favorite of them all . . . The MEDUSA.

The cigar that got me started seven years ago.

Same here. Thats the cigar that started my collection. I was told by a DE rep that the Java is the same blend but I dissagree, it's close but a little different.

Yup - definitely NOT the same, although I'm sure they intended for it to be. Close, but no cigar har har har...#-o

Not even. The Java predates the Kahlua by a few years.

I've been told that the Tabak Especial is similar though.

I've had a couple pimp sticks.....they're the shizzle.......I read some where that each vitola of the natural line in blended differently from each...so each one is unique from the others, so to speak.

Each vitola is supposed to be a different blend in the Natural line.
