So for the most part I've been really enjoying the Liga Privada line Drew's been rolling. Sometime earlier this year I was smoking at one of the shops and one of his reps was there handing out Chateau Real Maduro's. Now I believe this cigar has the San Andreas wrapper on it that made Te Amo so popular. I smoked it and was definately surprised. Not a Privada but definately from the same profile. Picked up a 5er off of cbid and the first couple smoked well. I enjoyed the cigar. It was rich and deep, lots of cocoa and leathery flavs. Decided to take on out for a spin today and it just didnt to it for me. Prob a humidity issue since i just added a bunch of new inventory to the cooler. It was just lazy. Draw issues, hot and bit harsh. I mean really I've had good experienced w/ this cigar and since my budged doesnt always allow me to smoke the privadas on the reg its a descent substitue. None the less I put it out and lit up my ol trusty yard gar - RP Factory Select SG. Much more floral notes and the sungrown wrapper has always impressed me. Only prob w/ the bundles is the occaisonal tight draw. This one is spot on though and been resting for several months. I'll have to revisit the Chateau Real again later. Its a good smoke if you are into Drew's regular lines. Sorry no pics of the beautiful day we are having out here in N. Tex. Spend a couple hours out here cleaning up the back yard this morning. Just me and the dalmation. By the way, I spend years trying to find the right bundle cigar and IMHO, the factory select is the only one worth it. Cant go wrong w/ a $2 smoke that you can enjoy on a beautiful day.
Enjoy your day guys!
