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!

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 is certainly one I’d advise checking out.”

Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Fermented is probably one of Drew Estate’s most exclusive and elusive brands.
There is no dispute that the Pappy Van Winkle line is one of the most sought after cigars on the planet. When Drew Estate decided to produce a more complex blend, the industry took serious notice. With extreme attention to detail, this extraordinary cigar is made by soaking Kentucky fire-cured tobacco in Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels for 12-18 months. The tobacco is then combined with prime Mexican and Indonesian tobacco and hand-rolled in very limited quantities in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Stay tuned to The Cigar Thief for availability. And when they’re in, get them! Any size is always a top pick for these.

After the huge success of Tabernacle’s original entry, Foundation’s owner put on his mad scientist, Master Blender hat and went to work. With this edition, the wrapper was spawned from a combination of Cuban seed and Connecticut seed tobaccos encasing Nicaraguan and Honduran filler leaves with a San Andreas Mexican binder. The result is a smooth and balanced medium to full bodied stick that slowly increases in intensity as you move along with a pleasant sweetness that’s not overpowering.
