Do You like Drew Estate?

[duckmanco]

LVH-EY Silencios rock, still if you ask me. I was graciously gifted 2 of the old blend from txmatt that I believe had some age on them, and they were spectacular. I picked up a box of the new blend, and they are smoking quite well, I expect the same performance as the old when these become old. The liga privada sounds nice also, but damn its pricey.

I smoked a Kuba Kuba last July 4th and have been getting into cigars ever since.

After sampling a bunch of others (CX2, Cohiba, RP's, RYJ, etc.), I still love the Kuba Kuba, but more as a change of pace than my regular cigar. Somebody mentioned they're better in the summer with a beer and I totally agree.

I've had several friends try the Kuba Kuba. Those who aren't regular cigar smokers say they're great while the others say the opposite. I guess you either love 'em or hate e'm.

I like the Tabak Especial line and the Liga Privadas.

I've never tried one and I don't really plan to. There are just so many other cigars that I'd prefer to taste before I have a Drew Estate.

I'm not sure, I've never smoked one. Too many cigars I like and would rather spend my money on and enjoy like the all natural tobacco cigars without all the other stuff.

try the liga privada #9

I answered "no" but forgot I did have a LVH... I did like it at the time but can't remember much other then it was strong...

Smoking a cigar called "pimp stick" seems a little ghey to me...

"Hey Earl, reach into your box over there and hit me with a PIMP STICK!" It doesn't sound right to me...

I have smoked the Kahlua, Java Maduro, Isla del Sol, Acid Kuba Kuba, Acid Blondie, Acid Extra Ordinary Larry, and Chateau Real Natural cigars.
I did not like any of the Acid cigars.
The Chateau Real was an OK smoke.
The Isla del Sol is a good smoke for the money and is a cheaper alternative to the Java, but the tip is really sweet. Too sweet for me.
I liked the Kahlua and Java the best of the bunch, but I don't care for flavored cigars much anymore.

[Starscream]

I like the Java Latte.

I think "Drew Estate" and "ACID" are synonomous in most smokers minds, but they distribute so many other lines: Liga Privada, LVH, and Chateau Real to name a few.

Last night I attended a local event where Drew Estate introduced the "Joya de Nicaraugua" line. The owner of JdN was there handing out samples and explaining how his family has been making cigars for years and how they were true puros. He also mentioned that most factory foremen of the other cigar factories in Esteli have worked in his factory and have attended his "Univeristy of Cigars".

The Joya de Nicaraugua line comes in three versions, a mild-medium, a medium-strong, and a "wow, is that my head on the floor?". I walked out with 2 boxes, one each of the first two. All of them had a great flavor.

So. IMHO, maybe smokers should stop and think about the "non-ACIDs" when they think about Drew Estates...

I couldn't vote. I have never smoked a Drew Estate but would not mind tryin a Liga Privada

[Tikihut27]

We call the Acids "gateway cigars", since they are the easiest to entice a non-smoker into trying.

Many of the younger smokers really enjoy them.

I don't mind them at all, in small doses. Maybe once or twice a month.

It's all about what I'm in the mood for. Sometimes steak, sometimes pie, you know what I mean?

Liga Privada 9 - great cigar that I can't keep my hands off of(Damn you Saka!)

Chateau Real - nice, creamy smoke.

LVH Early Years - Great maduro flavor. These age very well.

A Tabak Especial Negra with a cup of coffee starts or ends a day nicely

[Grey Goose]

Admire what they've accomplished, but not a fan myself.

A lot changes in 8 years, huh?

Well hell, I wasn't a member back then so I'll answer now:
- I really enjoy the Undercrown Corona Viva; it's one of my most often smoked sticks. None of the other vitolas are as good as the CV, IMNSHO
- The MUWAT Baitfish and +11 are tasty
- I love the T52; it's just an all-around great cigar
- I do not get the love for the LP9 at all; I find it one dimensional
- I smoked Acid Kuba Kuba and Opulence 3 up to about four years ago, then one day I had one and thought "This is nasty." I smoked one more a month later to verify my opinion and haven't had one since
- Love the Dirty Rat and Ratzilla.
- L40 and UF13 are decent but overpriced
- Papas Fritas I could take or leave
- I really enjoy the Herrera Esteli
- The Norteno is very tasty but overpriced

And I think that's all of them that I've smoked.

[kelmac07]

Really enjoy the Liga Privada line.

[Ncpsycho]

Liga privada stuff is awesome
