I'll take "bewildered" as my guess. Did I win, Eric?

| I heard from several people that they are rolled horribly and smoke extremely fast...kinda like a wafer...for those that are not familiar with the cigar below is the link.

| Haven't had one and I don't know if this is the case with this line but it just seems like they rush cigars to market to capture brand. Look at Duck Commander or Garry Sheffield |

| Thin blue line- while I have only smoked three and I'm no cigar reviewer, here goes!
The look- Beautifully constructed cigar, smooth wrapper, flawless cap, nice deep oily sheen. A bit more petite then one would think for a 5/50 due to the pyramid cap.
The smoke- all three have had a looser draw then I would like, the first cigar I smoked seamed a bit under humidified, reminding me of cigars a buddy would give me that had been in a plastic bag for a month with no humidification. The two subsequent I smoked (after resting in my humidor at 72% for two weeks) were vastly improved. That being said, all three burned cool and with perfect burn line, good strong ash, good smoke production and no need for touch ups. Burn time (this is a estatmate) 45-55 minutes
The flavor- sweet and peppery smoke right away, full flavor medium strength, I got raisins, a touch of ceder, black pepper and burnt caramel (in a good way).
My pallet is far from professionally trained! But I found all three so far quite good. That being said, the loose draw worried me each time but never seemed to take away from the flavor or cause burn issues especially for the two smokes that were under humidification for two weeks.
Definitely not my favorite cigar, but one I'm glad I own and have had the pleasure on smoking. Of course let's not forget, I'm the one who's trying to trade them away!! Haha no but seriously, they are good and worth a try!!

| I think you may have to open up you're cigars you are willing to trade for. FFP's are generally going to be more coveted than any Undercrown, Limited Edition or not. Not trying to bust your balls, I just think there may be some people who would trade, but probably not giving up FFPs for them brother. |

| I know it is a long shot, that's part of why I'm willing to go 1 for 3 but I do realize it's a select few who are willing to trade what is known to be an excellent cigar for one that is pretty good but very limited release. Hoping there are some Die hard drewestate fans out there that can't live without trying one! (Or three!)

| Good luck buddy. I bought a pack and sold a couple out of mine for what i paid. Its a good cigar but undersized for the money and definitely NOT worth the trade of FFP's. IMO of course.

It had good flavor. The size is really unique. Good luck getting your hands on some at a decent price. |
