Isla Del Sol

Drew Estate cigars are known for their infused flavored cigars, they have many shapes sizes and flavors. Isla Del Sol is the economy version of the Java.

Isla Del Sol is a Nicaraguan cigar with Nicaraguan long leaf filler wrapped with a nice light brown Sumatra wrapper and infused with coffee and chocolate. It’s a nice smooth mild to medium smoke, the construction is good, typical Drew Estate quality. The ash is on the flaky side, but don’t let that sway you from this tasty cigar.

They come in a 20 count cardboard box lined with tobacco leaves, but don’t let that put you off either that is how they are keeping the price down to a respectable $55.00 to $63.00

You can find this line of Drew Estate’s in most Catalogs and in some stores; however I have not see a store that carries them on a regular basis.

 

So for that low price you are getting a major manufacture’s line of flavored cigars that exceed the normal puny size of 34-38 ring gauges, fair construction and a tasty treat. My favorite is the Toro (6x52)

I rate this cigar a 5 out of 10

Happy Smoking

Johnny V's Cigar Review

Johnny V has picked out for his first Cigar Review a hidden treasure that many Cigar lovers have not discovered yet. One of Drew Estate's Lesser known cigars and very reasonably priced, Isla del Sol. Going with the usual Drew Estate feel it does have a flavor and stands up to the usual scrutiny of Drew Estate quality.
