This is the final cigar of this summer's review series. I had an opportunity to procure the Drac Redux (2022) in a recent Pass and wanted to see where it fell in line with the prior two Dracs as well as end on a high note.

1/3: This begins with sweetness, a touch of heat and some baking spices. (Very similar to the Mash and Smash versions). Stoneground wheat crackers joins in as we near the end of the first third. It is medium bodied but heavy on the flavor.
2/3: Cream, cinnamon and some red pepper heat. As we finish the middle third, I notice a woody note enters into the mix. (The Mash also gave me a woody note but that wasn't mentioned in the Smash).
3/3: The spice kicks up a notch. The wood flavor remains and black pepper emerges. (The Smash had more discernable flavors then the Mash and there is certainly some overlap between the Redux and the Smash).
Final Thoughts: An absolutely amazing cigar. I think that the Drac was one of my favorite Monsters and that this cigar just reminded me of that. Do not sleep on this one.
