Drew Estate Undercrown Shade Toro

Today we have the Drew Estate Undercrown Shade in Toro.  This cigar is light tan and has minimal veins and seems.  It comes in at 6 X 52.  After lighting, the draw is perfect producing large amount of smoke out put.  The draw flavors start off with a nutty earthiness and no discernible black pepper or spice.  The finish is a smooth cedar and creaminess with a slight bit of sweet tobacco and the tail end of the finish.  Th flavors are fairly light and airy and leave the palate fairly quickly and are at a mild to medium in body.  The burn through the first inch is razor sharp and is producing a nice, tight, long ash.

I've now burned down about two inches and not much has changed as far as draw and finish flavors.  The finish has started to last a bit longer and has intensified as far as the sweet creamy tobacco is concerned.  The draw remains perfect giving off huge plumes of smoke.  The body is at a medium and there is no strength kick at all so far.  The burn remains razor sharp and construction is prefect.

With just over an inch and a half left I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 1 hour and 8 minute mark.  This cigar did not give many transitions as far as flavor is concerned, but did give off a nice medium creamy sweet tobacco and cedar with a slight bit of earthiness.  A black pepper spice did come into play in the last half of the cigar.  It wasn't over powering but did just let you know it was there in the back ground.  Overall, it was a well burning and tasty cigar.
