Hello this is Serious Bok & I have requested that the intricate & versatile cigar smoking micro brew sipping Andrew Passantino bless us with some cigar reviews from an authentic cigar smoker of the people for the people. (run on sentence is ok just this once). Here Mr. Passantino hit us with two reviews or two great cigars. Please welcome & follow him on twitter @TheSicilian33 LUXE.

The Drew Estate Liga Privada #9 is an interesting cigar and by far my favorite. It comes dark in appearance with a white label. The interesting thing about the cigar is the scent. It smells like the perfect cigar, and it is. I would call it more of a boutique cigar. I use a standard double blade cutter that you can get at your average shop. Light it and it has this strong sensation spicy type of taste.

It burns very evenly and doesn’t get too smokey like the Undercrown. It’s a good tasting cigar, but when you get to the middle, you are completely shocked. You have never tasted such a cigar in your life. It’s like your taste buds go on a wild roller coaster specifically Nitro. You think it’s going to be a heavy cigar, but it’s the smoothest smoke I ever had. I usually have about 3-5 of these a day, so I enjoy it alot. The ash is very white and burns perfectly. It’s very hard to get this cigar to finally burn out because it burns so well.

At the end, you know right away that this is your cigar, and you need another one. This would be a perfect cigar on the beach on some paradise island. At the end, it has some what of a nutty taste, but it’s not as heavy and you believe it to me. I’m 21 years old, and my taste buds are constantly changing, but this is by far my favorite cigar. When properly humidified it’s not to hard and crunchy but it’s not too soft either. This is a great cigar to go with beer, liquor, a game of poker, a football game, or basically for an every day smoke. If you haven’t tried this cigar, pick it up it’s a gem!! You’ll impress a few of your buddies also because it’s not exactly easy to find!! Imagine your favorite beer.. but in cigar form.

Here we have the Undercrown also made by Drew Estate. You’re a little curious because you may be wondering if it’s anything like the Liga Privada’s. It’s more of a cousin if anything. You have a lighter appearance than the Liga. It’s an easy cut. As you get ready to light it, you’re thinking how interesting this cigar is. Well, here you go, you’ve finally cut it. It sounds like a perfect cut that you have accomplished which you have.

You start smoking it at first with that heavy tobacco taste. You’re thinking hmm this is a little interesting it’s not like the Liga at all. Because it’s not. It doesn’t have the taste or the spice of the Liga, but it is VERY smokey. If you’re against the smokey part of a cigar, then you shouldn’t smoke this. By smoking this, it’s like you’re in a Godfather scene with the Godfather speaking to his soldiers with the smoke in the background. It doesn’t have the power of the Liga, but it is one heck of a smoke. It’s not as smooth as a T-52 but if you smoke Liga’s you’ll enjoy this cigar.

After a Tatuaje Fausto, I usually smoke an Undercrown because they go well together one after the other. You get a little sweetness, coffee, and nut taste, but this goes away as soon as you get to the middle. The ash is white in appearance and once again it burns perfectly. It’s another cigar that I smoke every day.
