Drew Estate is, in my mind, the cigar company that kicked off the trend of turning ‘classy cigar culture’ on its head with bizarre product names. With names like Velvet Rat, Dirty Rat, Feral Flying Pig, MUWAT (My Uzi Weighs A Ton), and more, the company established a reputation for producing great product with a […]
When the Liga Privada No.9 debuted from Drew Estate in 2007 featuring a “Stalk Cut” Connecticut Habano wrapper, it became an instant hit. Customers enjoyed the wrapper’s profile as well as the overall fuller blend. In a quest to outdo themselves with an even fuller-flavored smoke, the Liga Privada T52 was born. Utilizing the Stalk […]

It’s even more remarkable given that the brand is split, with the Cuban version owned by Habanos SA and a completely separate Dominican brand owned by Altadis.

Up for review today is the Tatuaje 15th Anniversary Habano Rosado, […]
If you read the name “Aganorsa Leaf” and wondered what it was referring to, you aren’t the only one. The brand is actually the newest incarnation of Casa Fernandez, maker of popular cigars like the original Casa Fernandez line, JFR, and Guardian of the Farm (which we reviewed here). I first experienced the company’s product (then […]
Up for review today is The T by Caldwell Cigars. As we recently noted, Caldwell is noted for releasing beautifully branded, full flavored, quality smokes. So when I heard Caldwell paired up with AJ Fernandez and Matt Booth for The T, it went without saying I’d be picking this cigar up to review. Product Specifics […]
