I had one of these the other day - the waife (java) one that is really thin -

http://www.drewestate.com/index.cfm?page=java-cigars

I liked the design and as i'm "open" to all sorts whilst i'm still experimenting i thought i'd give it a try.

Sadly, things did not go too well.
This cigar made me physically sick...

...literally.

Either i'm allergic to Drew Estate or it's loaded with 5000% nicotine because something bad happened that night!!

I'd say this is about my 20th cigar, and no I wasn't inhaling or anything crazy. I just got through about an inch of it and got a horrible sensation and off to the little boys room I went.

No more Drew Estate for me.

Will be smoking again tonight for the first time since the incident. Wish me luck

Anyone else have an opinion on Drew Estate? Or am I just weird?

The non-flavored stuff isn't too bad. LVH's, Liga Privada # 9 and the Château Real. I'll leave the flavored/infused stuff for others to enjoy.

The one I tried to smoke last week would have made me sick had I forced it. Fortuantly I don't believe in forcing a bad stick. I pitch them and grab another. What a nasty cigar. I'm with ya.

Im a huge fan of drew estate/acid sticks....If you guys dont want them let me know how much you want for them and I might take them off your hands

mrglass2626 · 10-02-2008, 08:45 PM

Thank god people agree.

The only flavored cigars i've liked so far are the Heaven brand:

Honey Nut
Chocolate

They were nice.

Drew Estate Java ....not so good.

I knew I shouldn't have gone for it when I didn't see it on the top25 website.

----
I have decided tonight is the Romeo Y Julieta 1875, Cedros Deluxe No.2 I sincerely hope my experience will be better than the "drew" incident.

I'd sell/trade them if I had any, just bought the one though. Sorry! And i'm not trying to bad-mouth an entire brand - just saying that I didn't like the one i tried and that i reacted badly to it.

I do however have a box of Monte Cristo No.1s that I got as a gift that I wouldn't mind swapping (singles for singles) - I'm still learning how to go about this legally on this website though.

Glad you like them, i'm still trying to find the "one" for me.

I enjoy the Java Maduro. It's one of those change of pace cigars when I have a sweet tooth.

Ah ha! Didn't think to look under just "java" thanks....looks like mixed reviews, some good some bad. Maybe mine was from a bad box. Don't think i'll be trying it again though.

The Java waffe is actually one that I can stand. I don't go near the Naturals or Acids, but the waffe isn't too bad.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience though.

pro2625 · 10-03-2008, 12:07 PM

Maybe try the isla del sol (made by drew estate) as they are coffee infused and I really like them...They are super cheap too

I had a draw off one that I had given to a friend of mine who had never smoked a cigar and it tasted like the hot air coming off a brownie that had just came out of the oven. I liked it cuz it was different but I can't really seeing myself smoking them on the regular. He has asked me like 4 or 5 times about them since then so I think I need to start looking for a couple.

Look into the isla del sol
