Isla del Sol cigars: The best of both worlds.
Yet another gem from Drew Estate's creative genius, Isla del Sol combines a deliciously infused Nicaraguan premium with an everyday price that can't be beat. Each cigar comes loaded with a rich blend of aged Nicaraguan tobaccos inside a beautiful, chocolate-brown, 'Sun-Blessed' Sumatra wrapper.
Each of the filler leaves in Isla del Sol has been carefully infused with the enticing nuances of premium, Sumatran Mandheling Bean Coffee, while the wrapper is finished with a delightfully sweetened cap. Expect a rich, creamy core with ample notes of mocha and coffee, complemented by a luxurious aroma. Best of all, at this price, it'll be easy to enjoy the scrumptious flavors of Isla del Sol cigars on a daily basis.
From beginning of the second 3rd until I finally gave up half way into the final 3rd, very hard to keep lit. Smoke output throughout was wonky at best. Flavor remained surprisingly good regardless of problems, but the final 3rd became hot and squishy. Rested in humi for just over six months. Will give it another try as the flavor was quite good. If it weren't, I'd mark this one off my "buy again" list real quick.
Excellent draw. Sweet tip. No discernable flavor notes on the retrohale until the final third. Then it had a VERY strong pepper note. Burn line wonky, but nothing too bad. Became very soft when it reached the final third.
A nice sub-$6 smoke. Nice sweet taste on the tip. Never burned evenly and had to have two fairly big touchups, but a relight wasn't needed. The ash was rather loose as well. Not a lot of smoke at first, but had a great draw. Overall I can see myself smoking these on a regular basis.
