I personally love this smoke. Dark, bold and flavorful. Dark chocolate, black coffee, pepper and leather. Full bodied and just a good smoke.

halfway through my 3rd box. Personally I like the Toro slightly better because it’s got more intense leather/espresso notes and a bit less spice. Both are intense flavor bombs and a genuine treat.

Bold strong dark flavors all around this one kicks you in the teeth but you’ll keep asking for more.

Not sure if i got a bad one or what, upon lighting it started out pretty good with notes of coffee and a little bit of leather which i love, but after halfway through the flavor dropped and it felt really light, no pepper, no spice, no good hit to the palate. Not as strong as i would of preferred it. My expectations were that this should be a lot stronger than the DE Undercrown maduro but it definitely was not so i have to give it 3 stars.

A bold and more stout stick, this cigar is very enjoyable when craving something bold. Notes of espresso, leather, with just the right amount of spice in the back of the pallet. Paired this with a cup of “chocolate abuelita” and the experience was phenomenal.

I first tried this stick in the Toro size and I thought it had a lot of bold flavors. I figured lets try the Robusto size and man am I happy I did. Seems like I get more flavor notes out of the Robusto size. I get really strong Dark chocolate, leather, pepper, oak, amazing coffee note in the 2nd third and a bit of sweetness from the wrapper I absolutely love this smoke had to smoke it till there was nothing left.

I usually wouldn’t buy a smoke that any celebrity is associated with but this is my second box. One can tell that some actual thought was put into this.

Great, powerful stick. The pepper, leather and coffee were great. Another home run from Drew Estate.

My plan, this extremely hot and humid Sunday in Lake Worth Beach, Fl, was to have somewhat of a mild and relaxed day. Things started off well around 8:30am with a cafe con Leche from a local Bodega and a “My Father”, El Centurion. Terrific, I thought, great start.
Around 1:00pm I poured a glass of Monkey Shoulder over ice and dove into a Filthy Viking toro with the Habano wrapper. Things couldn’t be better, I thought.
Just about 3:30pm I had lunch and ordered some spicy wings, I’d had one or two more libations and when I got home, the spice from lunch still tingling on my palate, and my common sense a little compromised, I decided to take on the M81.
I had purchased a 5 pack recently and even although I’d read and watched reviews on this cigar and how powerful it was, I decided, to give it a shot.
I should have listened.
At this time I’d switched to my trusty Glendronnach 12, but I soon found out, smoking this cigar was less a search for flavor as it was a 3 round cage match.
Almost immediately, I was hit with intense amounts of pepper and spice with a 7 out of 10 draw. I persevered.
2nd third didn’t let up, my taste buds were getting overloaded and it had become a full fledged knife fight to the finish.
I lost.
Had to toss it, couldn’t stick.it out. My big boy pants had become pantaloons and now my shame was complete.
Besides the draw, the construction was good, nice wrapper and good ash.
In conclusion; if you’re the kind of person who can stand Nagasaki levels of spice and pepper and doesn’t mind not being able to taste anything for a few hours, or talk like your mouth has been injected with novacain then this cigar is definitely for you.
