Morning Andrew, I didn't get to Roxy like I wanted to last night.....LONG STORY, so she will meet her fiery death at my mom's Christmas party with some nice scotch this evening......I REALLY hate to burn her, because she smells so damn good.

That is a beautiful statement my friend

irratebass · 12-11-2011, 10:19 AM

So I finally got around to trying the Maduro Roxy that Andrew generously sent for me to sample.....now I am not a reviewer, so I will do my best.

First off the construction of the stick is very well put together, there were some noticeable veins, but not overpowering. When I pinched it, it snapped back and felt good in my hand quite a good looking stick.

I could not help but smell her I smelled barnyard aromas, and I noticed that I have not smelled a cigar that smelled this good....sure I have had some great smelling cigars, but there was just something about this....it was almost intoxicating and this is a good thing.

Onto the burns, it burned slowly...not a lot of smoke, and I think I only had to relight one time during the whole 1 hour and 30 or so mins of smoking.

While smoking I noticed peanuts, chocolate, maybe some coffee (only hints though) It was not an overpowering smoke and the closet comparison would be the Drew Estate Undercrown....if you haven't had that then I can't help you.

I had this paired with some Bacardi Gold Rum they went great together, I also had some grapes (purple seedless) in the process (I was at a party) and they did not take away from the enjoyment of the stick.

I would def buy a box of these and would love to try them after they have rested for a year.

Thank you again Andrew for letting me try it, I really appreciate it you really have something here and I look forward to trying your other wrappers as well. Keep it up brother.

Wow the Roxy Maduro has been compared to an Undercrown? That is saying a lot!

BlkDrew · 12-13-2011, 10:39 AM

New mold will arrive in a few days. If anyone has any new ideas let me know, a few others have already.

Have you thought about/considered doing a "nub" type of smoke (4in x 60)?

or a shorty like a 4in x 30?

just thoughts that you're looking for...hopefully!

I just purchased some Maduro wrappers, so i will have a Dominican filled with a maduro wrapper shortly.

I have taken into consideration the sale of Roxy cigars, as it is difficult to sell them not having the proper licenses, I figure i will sell the Cigar bands only, and the "tobacco is not for consumption"

Fivers will be 25 shipped in the small flat rate box. How does that sound?

If I'm not using them I keep them dry. I remoisten them 2 days before use.
I keep the filler on the dryer side to begin with.
If your not going to use it immediately, let it dry out.

I also buy what I plan on using, I keep a low inventory.

Hope that helped.

Perfecto's.... That would be hard i guess

deaster25 · 12-14-2011, 01:06 AM

I just read this whole thread for the first time. This is pretty amazing. I would love to get my hands on one of these beauties.

Bageland2000 · 12-14-2011, 08:39 PM

Cigars arrived today! they look (and smell) awesome! I'm going to gift a couple and let the others rest for a while. I'll be sure to include my thoughts when I burn these little bad boys. Thanks Andrew
