Drew Estate Natural: Irish Hops?

[Kaisersozei]

Anyone tried one of these, and what were your thoughts?

I've become a "sampler smoker" in the past few months, trying out probably 50 or more different kinds of cigars. Drew Estate doesn't seem to get much favorable play on CS, but truthfully I haven't minded the few Acids that I've had--they were enjoyable for what they were. The description of the Irish Hops in the CI catalogue caught my interest, but there's nothing on Top25 and a search here comes up empty. I wanted to get some real-world feedback before shelling out $30 on a 5er (or $7.50 on a single.)
And if you're a closet Drew fan, PMs are fine. I'll understand....

So, I take it the answer is "no." Guess I'll have to be the CS guinea pig on this one. Review will follow once I complete my duty to the board.

Ive smoked a few of the DE naturals, though not the irish hops. To be honest i very much disliked them. If its at all like the rest of the line im going to stay away. I am actually a huge fan of the LVH line though.

The Irish Hops is the best of the Natural line I think. It is a very creamy, flavorful smoke. If you are into the flavored cigars, you will love them.

IMO The acids have a Big time after taste that turns me off. They are of good quality and construction, but a little too seep in the price department. That said, if offered, I never turn one down.
