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

What does one drink with a fine cigar?

With Foods you can have certain wines that complement each other, but what goes good with a cigar as far as a beverage? The answer is anything but milk and Soda!

 

 That’s right it is that simple… No milk because it coats your pallet and you do not taste the cigar and no soda because of the carbonation and sweeteners, they make the tobacco taste odd.

 We also do not recommend Moonshine…do to it flammability! Last think you need is what we call a Hillbilly roman candle! It is not that we are concerned with your well being, we just hate to see cigars go to waste.

 

However if you are looking to complement your cigar, I recommend you try a nice cup of coffee or a glass of Whiskey or a Brandy. Beer will go with it and water as well, but coffee is one of the best things to bring out the flavor of a cigar, no matter the wrapper and origin.

 

 

Hope this was interesting enough for you cigar lovers out there.
