News: Two Undercrown Limited Editions Now Shipping Nationwide

Happy thanksgiving everyone! I’m taking the easy way out tonight and posting a few news items again, this first one is fro Drew Estate. These are both tasty cigars.

News: Drew Estate Announces Cancellation of Barn Smoker Live Virtual Event

This is the last of my Wednesday news barrage, and sadly it’s bad news.  I really don’t like posting bad news, and in retrospect, I should have put these in a different order, if only to make myself feel a little better. The silver lining is at the end of the press release, but we have come to expect this sort of generosity from the folks at Drew Estate. I have been to three of the Barnsmokers, and recommend them when life returns to normal. 

Today Drew Estate announces the cancellation of the upcoming Barn Smoker Live virtual event, originally scheduled for November 14th, due to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases throughout Florida.… Continue reading »

An E.P. Carrillo Pledge Cigar, Some Drew Estate News and The Contest Winner

My last visit to the cigar shop Had me procuring some new cigars, the last of which was the E.P. Carillo Pledge. They had both sizes, the 5″ x 50 Pequel and the 6″ x 52 Sojourn, of course I selected the Sojourn. It’s funny, there was a time when I opted for the robusto every time, and I’m not sure it wasn’t cost over preference. I think as I’ve gotten older (I’m hesitant to say “matured”), I’ve valued the experience over the cost, and I prefer the experience I get with a toro. Sure there are times when a Robusto fits my schedule better, I might smoke a couple today, but it’s because I have so damned many of them in my humidors and I usually find myself unfulfilled when I finish one. Anyway, back to the Pledge Sojourn.… Continue reading »

A Herrera Esteli Habano Edicion Limitada Lancero and Odds and Ends

I’m kind of running low on new cigars to write about, and this isn’t a plea for new cigars or anything, just a bit of explanation of why things seem to have slowed down here a little. I haven’t been getting out to get new things to smoke enough. Some of it’s laziness, some of it’s just enjoying some of the cigars I have on hand. For instance, I smoked a CAO Flathead Sparkplug 450 that had been in the humidor for a few years that was really good, and smoked the new Perdomo  10th Anniversary Sungrown Toro again and decided that I really do enjoy it more than the Maduro, which is strange for me. This concludes the “odds and ends” portion of tonight’s post. … Continue reading »

News: Drew Estate Ships Undercrown Dojo Dogma Sun Grown to Drew Diplomat Retailers

I didn’t get around to posting any original content on Wednesday, I had a Tuesday news item with a short editorial comment and then I got distracted and didn’t get around to writing a Wednesday post. So here’s a Drew Estate news item. I’ve smoked the “Sun Dog”, and it’s good. I may break open the other sampler I have and smoke another one. My only complaint is that it’s too short. but the size seems to suit the blend,… Continue reading »
