    FACTORY SMOKES

    Manufactured at La Gran Fabrica in Esteli, Nicaragua, Factory Smokes by Drew Estate aren't 'seconds' or 'training cigars'. They are made by the same buncheros and rolleros who handroll all of Drew Estate's premium cigars and they meet the same stringent quality checks. Economically priced, smooth, consistent and reliable, Factory Smokes are a handmade, value priced line of cigars.

    From the Wynwood Safehouse, Jonathan Drew, Founder & President of Drew Estate 'Our expansion in the bundle business was a decision we did not take lightly. Bundles aren't glamorous and the efficiency required to produce them effectively is not easily reached, which is why there aren't a ton of entrants innovating in the value priced space. This is long overdue for Drew Estate, and when we reached the production scale required to compete we knew we wanted to do what we do, and disrupt the space with an innovative, deep line of quality smokes for a broad set of thrifty individuals'

    CT SHADE

    Composed of a Connecticut shade-grown wrapper, Indonesian binder and Nicaraguan & Indonesian filler, Factory Smokes CT Shade has a smooth and creamy profile. This cigar has notes of white and black pepper with hints of Spanish cedar.

Good construction and draw with plenty of smoke. Smoked at a rain sodden BBQ, and unfortunately, they didn't make it any better. Taste was bland and uni-dimensional, with a bitter back edge. Smoked 2 and have to credit the consistency. Sorry, hate leaving bad/down-beat reviews...

Just to preface this review, these cigars arent bad. In fact they're pretty good. The issue and why I am leaving this is a 1 star review is the price. These are made to be dirt cheap, there is a reason factory smokes are typically 1.5-3 dollars in the US. I wouldnt ever recommend buying these for much more than 10 pounds a stick and even that is abit much given much cheaper and just as good if not better options. TLDR - Over priced, only get on sale.

A reasonable cigar but not premium and one of those 'doing admin', 'setting up the BBQ' or 'introduction' cigars - Not a good flavour profile if you are wanting to relax with a coffee or drink and explore complexity and depth of flavours. If you smoke every day this might be a good option. I am more of a weekend smoker so prefer something with more of a journey and story. It was fine, burns well, loads of smoke, clean draw etc - what you would expect from a Drew Estate cigar. I doubt I'd buy again but glad I at least tried it.

These are not your typical Drew Estate cigars. The burn was fine with a medium flavour but it was disappointingly plain and the cigar felt 'light'. It lasted 50 minutes (I am a slow smoker) which for me is not bad but I prefer a longer time.
