Yup. So I have heard. Which is why I said most.
Do you know...has Drew Estates always had a large line of flavored cigars? Or did they just start doing that in recent times?

In addition to the La Vieja Habana, Drew Estates also makes the Chateau Real, which is a good solid non-flavored smoke, IMHO.

I have some La vieja Habanas that where in tubes with a CT wrapper. Not a bad smoke at all.
Oh and Mr. 2 posts, please enlighten us as to the proper use of the term "flavored"
hmmm...lemme see if i can remember......jon's original brand was "cimaro"..(i think)..
.......then he came out with "la vieja habana".....a very good cigar,but got caught up in the end of the boom craziness.
lars tetens were doing pretty well and jon and his partner,marvin samel,decided to do the "acid" line...."acid" took off like a rocket...lars couldn't keep pace ........jon kept adding to the "acid" part of the line....then,decided to re-launch "LVH"...not the same as the original,but new packaging and a mixed filled lower price offering....after this,steve saka joined the company and are now offering the current additions to the line...
it's a very hot line...and quite a success story....
jon's name,btw,is not jonathon drew....that's his first and middle name...his last name is Sann......he really is a nice guy....

I would like to apologize to the folks I may have offended based on my remark based on a reaction to the little person who feels all opinions should match his/her own. I have come to find that most cigar smokers make a league of people willing to share and appreciate life, not attempt to belittle someone else's. However, I am glad to hear a spark was started in this conversation to show many sides of Drew Estate cigars.
I just tried the new line of La Vieja Habana, specifically the African Cameroon wrapper, the best $2 cigar in my opinion. The new Chateau Real line... a good cigar that I believe to be overpriced. I don't only smoke Drew Estate cigars, I recently smoke a Ashton Aged Maduro and fell in love (just an example).
I do not feel Drew Estate makes "flavored" cigars. They try there damnedest to avoid that word, and until we know the secret behind how they do it, I will not paste that label on them. What I do feel that they produce is:
gourmet
traditional
spiced
infused cigars
I guess I am glad I came back before losing interest based on a negative comment.
Thanks and good smokes to all who listen.
