Puros Huerfanos by Drew Estate lonsdale (6.5" X 44)

This is a 10-pack bundle cigar that I believe is a Famous exclusive.

Good construction. I have very rarely encountered a DE cigar with poor construction. Even La Vieja Habana, their short filler line, have always been well constructed in my experience.

Nice floral/tobacco smell to the wrapper. Good draw. Again, I have very rarely had a DE cigar with any type of construction issues.

First 1/3...pleasant but fairly typical medium-bodied, Habano-wrapped Nicaraguan cigar flavors. The floral aroma from the wrapper does start to come in after the first few draws, though. A few minor burn corrections. The aroma coming from the foot is woodsy.

Second 1/3...similar flavors and aromas are still dominant, but a nice anise flavor has crept into the finish. Honestly I'm digging this cigar so far. Burn has straightened out.

Last 1/3...woodsy flavor has become the dominant flavor through the nose, with the anise still in the background.

Toward the end...woodsy flavor is still dominant, but the finish has gotten a bit harsh (ammonia...y'all know that flavor). I let 'er die around 1.5".

Final thoughts...this was pretty damn good for a $3 bundle cigar. I can see myself buying 10+ bundles of these things and just burying them in the humidor.
