Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Simple enough, Im curious about how many people follow the mentality that DE makes crap sticks, or if some have actually made a decision based on sampling :ss

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Nope. I tried the Natural series and the Acid series and both were disgusting.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I like the Chateau Real Maduro PC. That's about it. :2

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I really like the Chateau Real, both natural and maddie. They are my goto morning smoke. I like the Natural line too, I dont have a pipe so when I feel like that "pipe-like" smoke I reach for a natural. I have had a couple of acids, not as terrible as most people claim, they were OK but would not buy more. I am not a fan of any coffee infused sticks but his were the best I have smoked for what thats worth.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I had a Natural one time (dark angel maybe), it was OK. I'd like to try a few more before I make any final decisions. I've had that Acid tin in my hand 2 or 3 times at the B&M before but ending up not pulling the trigger. I will get it one day and try a few Acids, if they taste as good as they smell I might like them.

I generally don't like flavored cigars that leave that saccharin sweetness on my lips.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

To be honest I enjoyed some of the ACIDs such as the Kuba Kuba, Nasty, and Def Sea.

I did not like any others and the worst was the Blondie!!!

I enjoy the Javas with coffee!

The only natural I have had is the Pimp Stick... Not bad... Not great... Plain!

I really don't buy any of these anymore because I don't need a cigar to mask the true taste of the tobacco!:2

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Yep, I like the LVH line from time to time. Decent and affordable.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Occasionally (stress occasionally) I enjoy a Drew Estates cigar.

That being said, they make the cigars that B&Ms seem to sell the most of, so I'm thankful that they exist so that the local shops stay open.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I haven't tried any of the three listed in your poll but I have smoked quite a few of the Vintage 1990, 1992, the Decade and the 10th anniversary. They have all been enjoyable smokes for me when I gave one to my brother-in-law in Seattle, he liked it well enough to ask me to ship some to him. His B&M doesn't carry them and since he's in Washington State it's cheaper for me to buy them and ship them up to him. (He doesn't know how to turn on a computer, so forget shopping online).

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I will pre-empt any posting from Tom, by saying "Suck my EGG!!!!!" :r (love ya, buddy)

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

In what way are those connected to Drew Estate?

I have tried and actually enjoyed Natural Dirt, Root and Clean Robusto. The small Dirt was the winner. Nothing I smoke often but nice to have for a change of pace!

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Im a very big fan of Liga Privida.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I enjoy the LVH's and the Chateau Reals and I did like the one Liga Privada 9 that I tried. The small Tabak coffee-infused stick is a favorite in the morning while driving to work; Personally, I don't care for any of the ACID line although both of my 20-something sons do.

As was mentioned above, the ACIDs are a favorite of college and high school smokers as well as many women. If buying these can help keep a B&M open, then I can live with them.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I'm a big DE fan. The Natural line, LVH Early Years, Chateau Real and Liga Privada No. 9 are part of my "regular" cigar lineup. I enjoy Acids, Java, Tabak and the now defunct Kahlua as "change of pace" smokes.

The only ones I didn't like are Ambrosia, Isla del Sol and Sauza.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Yes, I have tried a couple..... not a big fan.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I forgot about the Kahlua and the Isla del Sol! These were not bad but not great!:2

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I think you're thinking of Rocky Patel.

I have tried many different Acid cigars and I will never try another one. I've said this before, but I'll say it again. I don't like Flavour/Infused stogies. I just don't like the sweetness. I like the natural sweetness of a maduro wrapper or the sweet taste of mocha/chocolate undertones of "natural" tobacco. I just don't like my tobacco to be flavored/infused to taste like a fruit, candy or libation.
What ya gonna do?

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I had an LVH that wasn't totally wretched.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Chris, the only ones I like are the LVH Cuban Corojo series. A solid inexpensive cigar, imo.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

LVH Silencios were one of my go-to short smokes when I started this obsession. I am a fan, at least of the "old blend" (haven't had the new one).

I have tried a couple Acid cigars in my time smoking, and found them a cross between disgusting in flavor and disgusting in taste. ;)

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I've had one Java a few years ago and liked it at the time. It wasn't bad for a flavored cigar. I've had an acid and it really didn't do anything for me taste wise. It smelled "better", if better to you means it doesn't smell like a cigar. I happen to think that cigars smell better though.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Yup. Haven't had one in a while, but those were decent cigars.

Not a fan of flavored stuff.

Tried the Liga Privada. It wasn't bad, but wasn't that great, either.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Java's and Liga Privada#9.....on occasions naturals. The Liga's are fast becoming my fave.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I have tried the Kuba Kuba and the Krush Classics. I enjoyed them on a hot summer afternoon with a good beer down at the lake. Bitterness of the beer and sweetness of the cigar may have helped.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Figures you two "old timers" would bring up, IMO one of the best sticks to come out of their factory ;)

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Liga Pivada is a great smoke. Was gifted one once and loved it. It's on my list of must buys.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Crap, for got about those! They are good! I still have a handfull of the originals around. May have to go fishing for one soon.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I like some of the Acid series cigars...though not something I smoke on a regular basis.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I voted no. I didnt see a HELLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOO! on the list...

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I've seen footage of Jonathan Drew or whatever his name is. I don't think I will be putting money in his pocket at any time. Roundabout answer, but that's what I think.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

My bad. That's what I get for working until 2 am and then having a few to unwind.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Let me try this again. I have had several of the Drew Estates. I will buy the Java every now and then for a change of pace. I don't like the Acids, Dirt, or a number of other ones he has put out. The Naturals I will smoke if someone else buys it and I have no other choice.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

liga privada I liked best

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Wow, didn't know you liked them that much Dan :confused:

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I had a java one time and it was ehh. It wasn't terrible, especially not for a flavored cigar, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

The Joe Deal today is 10 Jucy Mamas for 14.99. I loooooove Liga Privada 9, and Jucy Mama is a Natural, so I don't have to worry about flavored stuff that I don't enjoy. Dirt cheap, I think me and roomies might go in. Anybody had these yet?

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Naturals not too bad(tho I don't like the sweet tip on some) but I can't bring myself to smoke something that smells like Aqua Velva!

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I liked the Liga Provida, but it is not a go to smoke in any way.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I would have voted "Yes, I tasted an Acid and it reminded me of Potpouri that was shat out someones ass," but I didnt see that option. :D

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

Had one once and thought I was going to be sick for a week :hn

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

In every picture I've seen of him, I think he looks like a total douche. Like the kind of guy I'd just have to punch in the face without knowing exactly why.

I got an ACID sampler, and after 3, I wanted my money back. They were uniformly awful.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

LVH Silencios and the Cameroons Belis are nice.

I like drew estate. I can't smoke the acids every day(well,I wouldn't want to anyway) but as a change of pace they are good.
My only gripe is the quality control. Too many are plugged, draw tight or unravel.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I can't stand any Acid cigar. I wasn't impressed at all by the LVH series. The Liga Privada is good, but pricey. I occasionally smoke a cigar from the Natural line for a change of pace.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I was not much a lover of them till I smoked the Liga Privada, that was a really nice cigar

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I've smoked a few Acids, Naturals & LVH. I accept them for what they are. Don't actively seek them out, but I'll smoke one from time to time.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

so far there were none I liked but I have heard good things about Liga Privada, will give those a try when I can and report back on ca about them :D

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I do enjoy the CI Legends by Drew Estates.
It's a wonderful hazelnut flavored stck.
Not had any other Drew product
Tom

EDIT: Is Tabak Especial a Drew or AB????
I do like these also for a flavorful smoke. Cleans the palate during many smokes.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

LVH-EY Silencios rock, still if you ask me. I was graciously gifted 2 of the old blend from txmatt that I believe had some age on them, and they were spectacular. I picked up a box of the new blend, and they are smoking quite well, I expect the same performance as the old when these become old. The liga privada sounds nice also, but damn its pricey.

Re: Do You like Drew Estate?
 

I smoked a Kuba Kuba last July 4th and have been getting into cigars ever since.

After sampling a bunch of others (CX2, Cohiba, RP's, RYJ, etc.), I still love the Kuba Kuba, but more as a change of pace than my regular cigar. Somebody mentioned they're better in the summer with a beer and I totally agree.

I've had several friends try the Kuba Kuba. Those who aren't regular cigar smokers say they're great while the others say the opposite. I guess you either love 'em or hate e'm.
