I’m not a fan of anything infused, so Acids are out for me. I’m not really a fan of the fire cured either. IMO, the LPs are good but over priced. I like the Undercrown Maduro & Herrera Estelli. The Muwat My Uzi Weighs a Ton Nightcrawler has actually become one of my favorite “everyday/budget” smokes. And for the price it can be had on Cbid, <$20 for a 10 pack in the free fall section, it’s hard to beat for a knock around stick or even an evening smoke.

The Muwat baitfish is a pretty nice and tasty short smoke.
I’ve considered buying some of those to try too.

I’m a pretty big Drew fan and like a lot of their stuff. The KFCs are one of my favorites along with Ligas, Herrera E, Nica Rustica etc. Don’t really like the MUWAT or Joya de Nicaragua but they’re not bad, just plain IMO.
Most acids are way too artificial for me, although the deadwoods and sweet kfcs are much milder in sweetness and nice when the mood strikes.
I agree with most guys though, JD is a mastermind of marketing and he is taking his talents all the way to the bank.

Whooooo, I forgot about the Joya. I really liked the Black & Silver. I haven’t had the red yet. But, that just goes to show you the difference in pallets & preferences & reiterates “like what you smoke smoke what you like”!!!
JdN is not a DE brand.
Yea, that’s why they didn’t come to mind at first, but don’t they have some sort of affiliation like with marketing & distribution or something?
Yeah, something like that.

True I believe they just have a distribution agreement together. Still not a fan lol although to be fair I haven’t tried them all.
I'm a big DE fan. Unless I'm at a B&M and need to support the shop, I will find the right deals. A box (24) of Robusto Undercrown (Maduro) for $150 (~6.25/stick). LP can get expensive, but they aren't every day smokes for me. The No9 is my favorite stick, but can be spendy.
I like what I like, never paid full price. They have a lot on the devils own. At 3-5 bucks a stick they are a very good buy. The nica Rustica is incredible smoke. At any price! Bought 10 cigars that I had never tried and surprisingly it was the best. I'm smoking a Undarcrown right now. I'm at the last 3rd and it's delicious!

I still think the Liga Privada line has some of the best branding in the business. The No9, the Velvet Rat, and the Dirty Rat will always have a special place in my heart even though my palate has shifted and I never smoke maduro/oscuro stuff anymore.
Also, the Herrera Esteli is a genuinely great cigar and has a place in my stash next to Illusions, Warped, El Gueguense, etc. I’ll smoke one of those any time.

Man, I dig Drew Unico series cigars and think they are some of the best stuff out there. The Velvet Rat, Dirty Rat, L40, Ratzilla and UC13 are flat out spectacular smokes. I also find the Herra and Nortena brands right in my wheelhouse too. Undercrown and JdN....meh and the flavored stuff, nope not at all. But the Unico? Oh, my!
