No Other's reviews found

Smoke: Drew Estate Egg Maduro
Drink(s): Homemade Yuengling Black & Tans
Tunes: Offspring, Green Day, Nirvana

Wrapper: Maduro
Binder: Nicaraguan?
Filler: Nicaraguan?
Draw: Light
Burn: Problematic throughout. Requires a lot of touch ups
Misc: 120 minutes.

Pre-light: Well, obviously I’m going to comment on its shape (Bloated figurado) Dark brown wrapper. Looks like its constructed well, and its very firm. Sweet smell, and a touch of a musty smell. No prelight taste (thankfully, no flavoring)





Light: Light draw. Easy light. Have to compensate for weight holding it in mouth.

1st 3rd: Got to triple puff this to get a good draw of smoke. Woodsy & peppery. Weird aftertaste, not bad, but like a leathery / vaguely acrid aftertaste. Actually is a light to medium body cigar.



Ash: Crisp white (prolly will end up looking like a wasp nest with its texture) Can’t even measure the ash, broke off quickly.



2nd 3rd: Smoldering smokey log. Very different. Smooth body, and the pepper is gone. I can feel the cherry from this thing a good 8” away. Woodsy & sweet leather taste. Further on, my tongue is getting fuzzy from puffing on this thing to manage the shape & the tunneling its doing. Lots of maintenance with this.



Action shot!!!!



3rd 3rd: Getting harsh now. Again, lots of touch ups that is distracting from anything else. Flavor is mostly gone, and now its just a mofo to work with. I feel that a lot of what’s going on here is managing the weird shape. Distracting from the flavor experience.



Overall impression: Novelty cigar. It was fun to work my way through, but as far as actually doing the review of flavors / body etc. it was not a good smoke. Nevertheless, thanks Nate for allowing me the experience of this ??? cigar.

Holy ashtray decimation, Batman!!!

Well, now. I've never seen a cigar quite like that one. Good review.

Interesting. But it sure looks like a damn messy adventure!

I've had a natural egg in the cooler for 3 to 4 years, can't get up the energy to try it.

[Mizicke5273]

That definitely looks interesting I must say. Nice pics!

You really did smoke it. Most people that buy those just have them because they kind of look like the AF football.

Well, I admire you for smoking what many consider a collector cigar.......and that's all I'm gonna say.

Way to man up Will and smoke that sucker. Is that your second Drew Estates review, after the Irish Hops? I'll have to see if I can send a few more Drew Estates sticks your way

Yep, smoking an Egg Claro. Could start some rumors.

A candela egg would be nice.

Yes, I should have said candela. Kinda like the "Angry Elf" cigars. The Egg would be the "Pregnant Elf" serie.

Amazing review. Not only did you smoke the egg, you included photo evidence. You are a a Trooper. (It's like seeing Bigfoot photos taken in a buddy's back yard.)
