Title: October Member Sponsored Geek Critique
Post by: junglepete on 07/11/2017 07:36 PM
This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by MacMac (Joe)

The Cigar: Drew Estate MUWAT +11 (5.5 x 52)

The Specs:

Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Mexican
Binder: Connecticut
Filler: Brazilian and Nicaraguan

The Hype:

Introducing Jonathan Drew's creation, MUWAT - a most excellent edition to Drew Estate's Subculture Studio. This joint project with Joya de Nicaragua is medium to full in body, and boasts a variety of vitolas booming with flavor. Dark and oily San Andres maduro wrappers conceal a hefty dose of Nicaraguan and Brazilian long-fillers secured by a smooth Connecticut 'Capote' binder. The cigar is hearty and rich, unveiling a deep series of bold yet balanced flavors from start to finish. Layered with complexity - earth, leather, pepper, sweetness, cocoa - the massive 60-ring frame is the ultimate vehicle to savor each of these complex intricacies throughout the slow and cool burn

Due Date: September 25th, 2017

The Reviewers:

Must not have done a review in 2017

Shipping Restrictions: US and Canada only please.

Thanks again to Joe for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :smoker:

That will take some time and effort to learn!

 I  actually do like yoyos and Customs wanted specific info....so, I sent the yoyo and the customs form was satisfied.   :dancing:

It is maddening when the government tells you that you cannot ship a gift cigar to a friend!  :angry:
