Drew Estate Deadwood Leather Rose Petit Corona

The Drew Estate Deadwood Leather Rose Petit Corona, with its length of 101.6 mm and diameter of 17.1 mm, features a Brazilian wrapper of deep chocolate color, slightly shiny. Its well-constructed wrapper provides an excellent tactile and visual impression that immediately draws the eye. This miniature format captivates with its elegance and meticulous presentation.

Pre-light, it is an explosion of sweetness that is felt, often surpassing classic tobacco aromas. Once lit, the intensity of cocoa and mint reveals itself, offering a surprisingly dynamic first evolution. The aromas are rich and very sunny, blending almost delicious sweet notes with a hint of freshness.

On the palate, the tasting begins with a dominance of sugar, which can overshadow the other flavors present. The development through the thirds reveals an interesting progression: after a very sweet first third, the second slightly diversifies with nuances of wood and spices, while the final third introduces a touch of fruit, an evolution that can sometimes be delicate to appreciate due to the persistent sweet dominance.

The finish is characterized by its medium length, with a sensation that could be described as “sweet persistence,” nicely accompanied by a slight bitterness that adds character to the whole. The balance of strength/sweetness is appreciated, although some enthusiasts lament that the aromatic richness of the tobaccos is only partially highlighted.

This cigar could be ideal for a leisurely tasting, perhaps in the late afternoon, accompanied by a black coffee or a light tea, thus counterbalancing the evident sweetness of this unique creation. To be savored without moderation if you are a fan of flavored cigars, but be warned of its strong sweet presence.
