Really wanted to like this one. The flavor was nice but the draw was lackluster and the burn was a bit uneven. Was thinking it may be a bit on the dry side but my humidor is sitting solidly at 69%.
Rested 3mo. Smooth, creamy, and slightly sweet. Excellent with coffee really brought out the nutty in the coffee . Flavors of chocolate and coffee with a hint of vanilla.
Where to start. Appearance. Wrapper was short of covering the whole cigar. Draw was decent. Burn had to puff puff in order to keep lit and produce good smoke. Taste was on point. So much potential. Just needed better construction. I've noticed many of the flavored cigars seem to be lightly packed not sure why this is a trend but really effects the experience.
My first Tabak Especial Negra. DEFINITELY a morning cigar. An oily smooth cigar that goes great with coffee. Hints of cocoa and coffee throughout this very consistent cigar. Everything was spot on with the draw, appearance, burn, aroma and taste. I will definitely be getting more of this cigar to put in my humidor.
Nice late afternoon smoke. Mild to medium, characteristic Drew Estate sweetness. Reasonably well made, a little spongy, no problems with burn or draw, decent smoke volume. Uniform flavor. Very pleasant on the exhale.
Tabacoo leaves where outside the foot, made burn a little uneven. Okay draw and burn. A spicy note, with a slight cheery sweet smell. To new at smoking to determine it worth compared to others. Has woody note. Spicy note towards the end, a little unpleasant.
