Drew Estate Undercrown Sungrown - Cigar Review Redux

Drew Estate Undercrown Sungrown
Corona 5 2/3 x 46
(redux) NOTES:
Reddishly under-hue'd stick. Tight seams. Evenly-rolled. Minimal veins. Burn needs an outta-the-gate Bic re-direct, evens from there. Density flirts with spongy, but draw remains smooth. Cap/shoulder hold till the end, cooly-so. Softly textured and well-balanced/rounded notes of red pepper, cayenne, mulling-spice. Milk chocolate. Candy? Red Hots, Lemonheads, and Boston Baked Beans, oh my!

WRAPPER: Ecuadorian Sumatra
BINDER: Connecticut Habano
FILLER: Nicaraguan

STRENGTH: Medium
ORIGIN: La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, Nicaragua
BLENDER: Willy Herrera
FINAL (re)GRADE: A-
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59

IN ADDITION:
Not generally part of my reviews, I did-so notice a quite tinny-metallic cold draw.
This makes like a tree and splits after one-or-two hot draws. If you listen to the Kaplowitz Radio go below, you can hear me note-but-not-note that.
