Quick Smoke: Drew Estate Herrera Estelà Robusto
15 Feb 2015
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
Drew Estate’s Liga Privada gets all the attention, but a strong case could made that Herrera Estelà is the company’s most well-made cigar. The Cuban-esque smoke features roast nuts, cedar, cream, and just a hint of spice. It’s a medium-bodied blend that trades strength for balance and finesse. While Liga is the big, bold Bordeaux, Herrera Estelà is a sophisticated, restrained Burgundy. Depending on the time and place, each can be ideal.
Verdict = Buy.
