Drew Estate 0_o

[Mr.Draned]

You losers don't know what the hell you are talking about. Box presses, much like O'Doyle, Rules. BOX PRESS FOREVER!

The O'Doyle Rules part of that movie never, ever gets old!

I'm surprised to see a fe anti-Undercrown-ers. When they came out everyone was claiming it was the best cigar of the year, I thought it tasted like a turd.

 

[StogieNinja]

Never saw that before- LMAO!!

Wait, WHAT?!?!

 

[Hoshneer]

I like the UC and smoked hundreds. I think they are bland compared to what they used to be and don't care for the Liga nearly as much anymore either. I still do buy some Liga now and then but it's nothing like it used to be.

Hahaha... hold on... you waited till now to say it? I wouldn't call it a turd, but it doesn't rank with the Rustica or even the Fire-Cured, IMO. Still, I doubt it's worth the hype, but to be fair, I have a fiver cooling and will give 'er a second looksee.

Yeah, I'm an old dude and fell behind th' times...

I have had 5 fire cured. Never got it. Seemed like I grabbed a log out of the fire pit and smoked it.

Yeah, I agree I was a bit harsh. I've tried two or three of them and was very underwhelmed, I gifted all but one so I will revisit eventually. I was sooo disappointed, I would definitely take an Ambos Mundos Sumatra over an Undercrown any day of the week...Tatuaje kills Drew Estate at this pricepoint and it(Ambos Mundos) is a couple dollars cheaper.

And no, I've said it several times on several forums. Seemed like I was the only one that didn't like them, closest to agreeing with me were the "It's good but overpriced" guys.

 

[Mikenice81]

I for one hate the undercrown but I do like the Uzi.

I actually prefer the Undercrown to the LP. It seems to be priced more in line with what it is worth.

If that's the case, you prolly won't like the Mesquite-based "Texas Fire Cured" that I suggested to DE. Of course they haven't agreed to produce it yet...

 

[StogieNinja]

Fire cured=nooooooo. Blech.

I loved the first Undercrowns I smoked. They're not what they were original anymore. Then again neither is the Lp9.

 

[NCost]

I like the LP and Unico lines. I think they are way over priced though. My B/M (in Ohio) sells the T-52 7x54 for $18.99 and the No.9 Belicoso for $16.99. He wonders why I don't buy them from him and buy them online...I explain it.

 

[StogieNinja]

Holy Moses... $19 for a T-52? Nope. Nuh-uh. Negative. No. Nooooo.




...that's crazy.

I'd pay 19 if they were like they were. Wouldn't necessarily buy boxes and boxes but would buy some

 

[JGIORD]

I love the Liga #9 and T-52 but they are special occasion smokes as I can't regularly smoke something that expensive. I put them on par with a Padron Anniversario anyday.

Willy Herrera did an excellent job with the Herrera Esteli. Love that cigar too but again I just can't afford them. Never cared for the undercrown.

The Naturals are interesting in that they are made with some pipe tobacco in them. I occasionally get a whim to light one up. I was sorry to see Saka leave and wondered what really happened behind the scenes.

I'd love to see with Saka is up to now. I could just listen to him talk cigars forever. Entertaining knowledgeable and a real down to earth guy. I still miss CigarNexus.

 

[Erikcooper]

Accident..

 

[mark_j]

The UC Corona Viva is a great cigar imo. The larger ones are medium bodied and pleasant, but not worth it really.
I like all the LPs. The 9 and T52 can be had for around $10 if you shop a little and wait for coupons/sales. They are worth it at that price.
The Nica Rustica is super earthy to me and you need to like that profIle or you'll hate it. I personally love them.

He posts on here increasingly more often.

I'm one of the few KFC lovers here...smoked one today at the b&m. They just got the Noteño in...in 1 size for $10.25 a stick..for that little flat cigar..eh no thank you.
I have always enjoyed most DE sticks but when they start going north of $8 then they a relegated to special occasion status or passed on.

I like the KFC kyotos. Haven't had the other sizes, but might shell out the cash for a piggie
