Drew Estate's handmade Natural series offers something a lot different. The "Natural" stands for the use of tobaccos alone, with no added flavors, to create complex and exotic bouquets that don't linger on the palate. How do they do it? By turning to varieties of gourmet leaf not normally found in cigar blends - particularly the myriad variations of Oriental leaf that pipe tobacco growers and blenders have been tweaking and perfecting for generations. Another novel feature of this bold departure is that the particular blend formula has been tweaked from vitola to vitola, producing a line with more variety in smoking experience than is typical of more traditional cigar series.
Now I hate writing bad reviews...but as soon as I tasted this stick I could taste the sugar...but it didn't taste like a natural sugar more like saccharine....obviously this was not a natural tobacco flavor...but being me I smoked it...now I must say... Read More it was a well wrapped cigar...for those who like a sweet stick this may be something to try. Read Less
Firstly, it is a Drew Estate so I expected the blast of flavour. There is a cedar, vanilla, and spice to these. The "natural" aspect I believe is due to the use of pipe tobaccos (in contrast to their other cigars which use botanical oils, g... Read Moreround spices, etc kind of like toppings during curing). Flavours are created using Orientals, Virginias, Perique, etc. The sugar tip on some will throw people off, but the Larutan series does have some non-sugar tipped ones such as the Root. Read Less
This tastes like a sickly sweet flavoured cigar. Natural is definitely not the right description. Every draw leaves you with a sickly saccharine sweet taste from the wrapper. It’s a rare day that I ditch a cigar, but this was truly awful
