Drew Estate - Acid nasty

[mattyhall22]

This is a great looking cigar and is the first one I have had with a folded over foot. The cap end is pigtailed and the cigar is wedge shaped from the foot to the head.

I snipped the head (my fault but took about half cm too much), it smells absolutely fantastic, I'm not sure what the wrapper (which is a very dark rich chocolate colour) is treated with but it smells very incensey. In a good way though

The pre light draw was nice and easy and the cigar lit easily and evenly even with the funny folded foot.

There was plenty of smoke, the incense smell comes through as the cigar burns but you cannot taste it. I was worried there would be a chemical tinge but there wasn't. The smoke is nice cool and quite mild with quite light almost herby flavours.

It burnt really well and was never too peppery or hot, however as I got down to about 1.5" my mistake with cutting too much came back to haunt me and the wrapped began to unravel. I stuck with it for as long as I could. It was a really nice smoke and went well with the dark chocolate VTG (thank you ) sent me and my stout.

I enjoyed it and will try some more, peejay you would love it

Flipping cameras on phones I couldnt see the screen when I was taking the pics, will try to get them in focus next time.

Nice review. The pics look fine to me.

Interesting sounding stick. Glad the chocolate came in handy! I generally think the stronger the cacao content the more flavour it helps to bring out of what your partnering it with.

Re the stick, the incense sounds strange... But intriguing

What a bizzare stick!! Am I writing in what I see there that you have to cut both ends?

[ValeTudoGuy]

I am likely to be wrong but I imagine you burn through the foot.

Great review mate...looks and sounds like a nice stick.

You're right Marc, you no more cut the foot than you would a perfecto.

Yeah, just set fire to it, it lit really easily superb burn on it as well

Sorry Matty, you were wrong, I didn't love this. I didn't like the herby notes enough to want to smoke one again and I got a bad example. Loved the look of it, lit up fine and smoked like an old chimney but it kept going out and after three relights I just gave up on it. It wasn't plugged because it drew like a drinking straw.
