First of all I'd like to say one word: Damn. I was mildly hesitant about this cigar, but after talking with many cigar passionado's I know I just had to try this car. Needless to say I am extremely impressed. The cigar was easy to cut and had a fantastic (damn near perfect) draw. I am extremely picky about how a cigar draws because I have experienced migraines after smoking on over packed/tight cigars.
The flavors of the cigar were very interesting. Initially there was a bit of sweetness right near the soft palate of the tongue, which was surprising because many Drew Estate Cigars are peppery. The cigar was not "barn-yardy" at all and presented an earthy undertone that was fairly present throughout the entire smoke. One of my favorite aspects of this cigar was that it produced a great deal of smoke. I truly like cigars that provide a lot of smoke when exhaling - I feel this really contributes positively to the cigar smoking experience.
Overall the experience I had while smoking this cigar was great. I felt relaxed, satisfied, and very pleased with the cigar. This cigar certainly has a permanent place in my humidor.
I agree. I was not a big Drew Estates fan until I had the Liga Privada. To me, this is their first "real" cigar offering. I don't like flavored or infused sticks,so the No.9 put Drew Estates back in my good graces.
ReplyDeleteI've heard nothing but great things about the #9, it is now on my list to pick up next time!!
ReplyDeleteA have been a D. Estates fan for many years. A lot of diehards arent really into the "Infused or Flavored". However, when they realeased "Liga Privada Series" I was really impressed. I love the N0: 9 Rareje Oscuro!!! Its a must have and compliments any humidor.
