Drew Estates Liga Privada Unicos ~ Dirty Rat

[badwhale]

Smoke: Drew Estates Liga Privada Unicos ~ Dirty Rat
Drink: Bell’s Two Hearted Ale (f’n awesome on a side note)
Tunes: n/a

Wrapper: Connecticut sun grown
Binder: Brazil
Filler: Honduran / Nicaraguan
Draw: Light
Burn: Good
Misc: n/a

Pre-light: This was a box purchase for a BOTL and was received with some damage. It was discounted from the delivery, and I had to patch the one side that had a blowout. Nice pigtail cap and mottled rustic color / construction. Colorado maduro shade wrapper. Sweet tobacco scent. Licorice tobacco taste on cut prelight flavor.



Light: Easy and light draw.

1st 3rd: Caramel, leather and oil. Smooth with some spice. Well balanced and mellow, but medium to full flavor. Not bad, not bad at all…



Ash: Flaky. Medium white and gray. Holds on for about 1”



2nd 3rd: Spicy, but a subdued spice. Oily, leather and tobacco in a well balanced mix. Right now, this trumps the T52 line to me.



3rd 3rd: Same as 2nd. Spicy, leather, sweet tobacco. More a medium body now with a good residual flavor. Nice.



Overall impression: Unico Line…good.

Nice review. I too had one of these, maybe from the same BOTL. Mine didn't have any damage though. One of my favorites to date.
