Received this in a recent surprise bomb from fellow BOTL lambing.

Nice looking cigar. Shiny, medium brown wrapper with small veins. Good heft with no soft spots.

After lighting I found the draw smooth and easy, producing gobs of thick, creamy smoke. The body and strength throughout was in the mild-medium range. Flavors were basic: tobacco, wood and mild spices. What I found unusual was the sweetness factor ... I kept looking at the band wondering where the "made by Drew Estates" was written. I remember trying some DE Naturals last year that weren't this sweet. I actually put it down just after the halfway point because I didn't want any more dessert.
