I don’t think you’ll ever see anything but five stars attached to any Arturo Fuente cigar. As in the natural and maduro editions of this iconic stick, the fillers and binder are the best vintage Dominican leaves available from the Family’s estate. Encasing this signature blend in a beautiful Sun Grown Ecuadorian wrapper produces yet another smooth and balanced stick blending a mild to medium bodied taste with a slightly sweet undertone. When the Natural edition runs out of stock this is always the second choice even though it’s many smokers first preference.

Factory Smokes Sweets are one of four of Drew Estate’s entries into the ever growing handmade Budget-Value category for all of us to enjoy for under $2 a stick!
With attention to detail, all Factory Smokes are made by hand. The big difference is the tobacco inside is made up of mixed fillers available at the factory. To put it another way, these leaves are the same crop used in their premiums! And on top of this, Factory smokes were created by Master Blenders Willie Herrera and Jonathon Drew himself!
This well made sweet capped cigar is medium bodied with definite hints of vanilla and coffee along with bits of gentle spices. For those who want a good tasting cigar without the associated price tag, Factory Smokes are surely the way to go!
