Drew Estate Undercrown Shade Flying Pig - Cigar Review

Drew Estate Undercrown Shade
Flying Pig 3 15/16 x 60 Pig-tail Perfecto
NOTES:
O range Julius. A bissell cayenne on smooth retro-hale. Buttery cedar meanderings in a generic wood pile array. Tangy sweet earthen under-belly with bright hay attachment. A bowl a' Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries in thy second-half.

I ntermittently and only slightly jagged burn-line; over-all an admirably well-constructed and performing cigar in a quite fun and potentially tricky vitola. Billows of pillows (or vice-ersa) of creamy smoke.

N ub remained cool to the touch and smoothly cool a' the draw. Firm, too. Ash coulda grown all on-down in a pale sheath.

K osher? I'd ask my Rabbi, but I probably should just leave him alone already. For soitenly it's just a name, gentlepersons.

FINAL GRADE: A-
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
WRAPPER: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
BINDER: Sumatra
FILLER: Dominican Criollo 98, Nicaraguan Criollo, and Nicaraguan Corojo

ORIGIN: La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, Nicaragua
BLENDER: Willy Herrera
STRENGTH: Mild-Medium
IN ADDITION:
This is the sixth and latest installment of the Flying Pig moniker'd format, having been released at IPCPR 2016. It appears in the MUWAT KFC and Undercrown dimensions of measure, as opposed to the slightly larger T52, No. 9, and Unico offerings.

I Looked at this blend in its Gran Toro format, previously:
An exceptionally performing Toro with only fleeting nuances around a sunny and zesty mild experience. Hanging around is an attainable natural tobacco with inherent sweetnesses.
FINAL GRADE: A- (From Four Cigars Reviewed in 100 Words vol. VI)
