This morning’s 2.5-Mile Cigar-Walk with this Connecticut Shade-Wrapped Factory Smokes Connecticut Shade in Toro by Drew Estate Cigars

This is my last one from the bunch… Being introduced to this “Affordable” line up of cigars from Drew Estate has been a nice little journey. I would definitely recommend these as a “working stick” or for beginning palettes.

For the money, great quality and flavor in Drew Estate style.
Bravo!

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 739: 2.25-Mile Cigar
 Connecticut Shade, Drew Estate Cigars, Factory Smokes Connecticut Shade, Indonesian Filler, Toro A 2.25-Mile solemn Cigar-Walk was had this morning with this Factory Smokes Connecticut Shade in Toro by Drew Estate Cigars as I come to the realization that my “Baby” the BMW 635csi that has been a part of my life is going to be going away very soon… Nothing Last Forever.

This was a great consoling cigar this morning… perfect for the occasion.

I think this was my last one in the TupperDor, so I probably should seriously consider purchasing some more of these “Affordable” Walking-Cigars!

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 601: 2.5-Mile Cigar
 Connecticut Shade, Drew Estate Cigars, Factory Smokes Connecticut Shade, Indonesian Filler, Toro By way of a generous gift from BOTL Ed Wong aka @Tight_Game of Drew Estate fame, another of these Connecticut Shade wrapped Factory Smokes Connecticut Shade in Toro by Drew Estate Cigars made for a satisfying Cigar-Walk.

By now, it should be no secret that the Drew Estate series of Factory Smokes (Connecticut Shade, SunGrown, and Maduro) are a stellar choice for an “Affordable” quality cigar for the money! … Just to clarify, this is NOT a “Factory Seconds” line of cigars. These are blended to specifically meet the needs of the “Budget Priced” cigars on the market… except these are still worthy of the Drew Estate name.

The perfect smoky draw of this “Affordable” Factory Smokes Connecticut Shade brings creamy tobacco flavors of earthy coffee, a touch of leather and woody cedar… not an overly complex cigar, but perfect for my morning treks!

Until next time…
