Drew Estate stuff.. - Page 2

I have to disagree with the "side step" comment. I think moving from machine made short filler dry-stored cigars to humidor-stored cigars made by hand from quality long-filler tobacco is a step up. That's not to say I like them; to be honest I've never smoked them. But I give two thumbs up to the guys who've given smokers of flavored cigars a high-quality alternative.

Acids are banned from my house. They smell like an old woman's perfume. The Undercrowns were a major disappointment. I like the No. 9's and the T52's. Not sure they're worth the money but I haven't smoked a lot of them since they're so hard to find.

I think they make a good cigar. I like the #9, FFP, and the Undercrown. My GF will occasionally share one of those with me but usually has a Tabak or Java when she wants one of her own. There's someone somewhere that likes all of the different blends or they wouldn't be on the shelves.

I came into the hobby around the same time Acids were hitting the market, and like a lot of other people, they were essentially my "gateway" cigar. I still smoke an acid nasty or blondie every now and then just for the heck of it. Kudos to JD and his folks for introducing so many to the hobby. The Ligas can be a bit pricey, but they are top notch, IMO.

My 50th year smoking cigars. I smoke one or more after every meal.
Liga Undercrown one of best cigars I've tried - ever. Emphatic cocoa flavor, impeccable construction and oodles of smoke.
Sprung for a box of Belicosos from Famous Smoke Shop - $127.96 with the 20% off coupon at the FSS site.
To spread the wealth, I pre-ordered a box of Genesis The Project (who is thinking up these names?) by Ramon Bueso -- toros $69.95 a box with free shipping at cigar.com
