over the weekend I had a number of cigars that no one who knows me would believe I smoked. Taste testing a few cigars inbound to the troops, I had opportunity to taste Drew Estates Chateau Real Maduro as a Magnum 46. The JR liner notes say reminiscent of the way pre-embargo cuban cigars used to taste. WHEN? Last week? NOT a bad cigar, nowhere NEAR a havana cigar of any ear. Very stout on the first few puffs, then mellowing within 1/4 inch to become just another run of the mill CB blend with no complexity. Take this cigar out of the cello and sniff it, however, and you smell something like unto the deodorant of the Gods. Just phenomenal in appearance and unlit arome. Nice cigar, no breakthrough flavor, but you can taste the quality.
