Do You like Drew Estate?

Sancho · 11-05-2008, 09:33 AM

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

elderboy02 · 11-05-2008, 09:37 AM

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

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

Padron42 · 11-05-2008, 05:16 PM

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.

11-05-2008, 09:41 AM

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

bigloo · 11-05-2008, 10:28 AM

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.

AD720 · 11-05-2008, 10:38 AM

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.

Skywalker · 11-05-2008, 11:24 AM

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!

Lucky_Hippo · 11-05-2008, 12:27 PM

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

webjunkie · 11-05-2008, 12:28 PM

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.

Prozac_Puros · 11-05-2008, 02:28 PM

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

11-05-2008, 02:56 PM

I had an LVH that wasn't totally wretched.

NCRadioMan · 11-05-2008, 02:56 PM

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

icehog3 · 11-05-2008, 03:17 PM

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.

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.

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

11-05-2008, 03:51 PM

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

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.

macpappy · 11-05-2008, 04:48 PM

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.

11-05-2008, 05:18 PM

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?
