    No it wasn’t, I took my time and enjoyed every minute. I stay wide open enough at work, so when its time for a cigar. I’m in relax mode, low and slow. No need to rush it imo!!!!!!!!

    Can’t say the humidor helped much, very mild & very slight vanilla flavor. Another good lawn mowing cigar along with the Moontrances.

    No issues with this one either. I am about convinced it was cooler/colder temps causing them to swell when getting warm while smoking.

    I think it was just as good, as the others I’ve tried. I’ve noticed the cigars you sent burn really well. I haven’t had to relight any, and I smoke very slow.

    Most of the Drew Estates I have had burn very well. Smoking them slowly probably gives you better flavor & makes them more enjoyable. Smoking them too fast makes them too hot, ruins the flavor & far less enjoyable.

    Had this today. It was the 2nd one I've had. I've had my eye on it for some time now and won a bid for a box not so long ago.

    They are a fumas in the robusto size. I'm thinking these will not be ordered again unless a very long rest in the coolidor improves them. :yes:

    What’s the beef with them ? Burn, flavor, aroma, price…. All the above.

    Weren’t the Brickhouse cigars you didn’t care for Fumas also.

    This one isn’t too shabby, I have let it go out a couple times while organizing some chains & bars to advertise. It relights fine, burns fairly uniformly, flavor is ok.

    construction was great.

    burn was good.

    flavor was not.

    aroma was nothing special.

    price was special.

    $21 for a box of 20.

    It's obvious that I place a lot of emphasis on flavor.

    It wasn't bad, it's just that I didn't care for it. Like I said, being a maduro, the long rest will probably do it good!

    I had the same experience with a Cao a few years back. Couldn't stand 'em. A couple of year later, WOW! I regretted giving some of them away.....

    Going to give this Gurkha Sherpa Orange Double Corona a try this afternoon. I thought it was a Churchill but had to double check.
