Drew Estate’s Deadwood line has really taken off in popularity over the last few years. The line is an expression of the Natural, later Larutan, line, which uses varieties of tobacco which is more usually used in pipe tobacco. It’s even cased like pipe tobacco, giving it a sweetness. I used to argue that these aren’t flavored or infused, but technically they are flavored, in as much as an aromatic pipe tobacco is flavored. Recently Drew Estate has begun producing The Girl With No Name, exclusively for some of the large retailers. This iteration has an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, as opposed to the maduro wrapper on the Fat Bottom Betty, Sweet Jane, Crazy Alice, and Leather Rose. JR Cigar’s exclusive is a robusto size, 5″ x 50. You can get a 5-pack at JR’s for $23, which is pretty reasonable.
I smoked a few of these, as well as a Leather Rose for reference and quite enjoyed the cigars. They do have a sweet cap. so if your opposed to that, this might not be for you. I smoked them with desert in mind, after dinner, and I enjoyed the sweetness, it’s a nice change of pace. There’s sweet exotic spice, and some mellow nuttiness from the shade wrapper. Burn and draw were perfect, which I’ve come to expect from Drew Estate products. One thing I will say is that smoking another cigar after this isn’t recommended, the finish is quite long. If you like the Deadwood line, I think this would be a nice change of pace, I might even like it more, it’s brighter and rather tasty!
