So you DE aficionados, what would you say is the most representative of the brand? What's the love 'em or hate 'em stick? And what's the best one to start with for the DE virgin?

I would say Undercrown. It is in my opinion a gateway to DE. But I have only had like 6 DE/LP sticks.

On the less expensive end, the Undercrown for sure. On the higher end, the #9.

Depends. Are you saying representative as in the one that EVERYONE knows and recognizes?? If so then Acid hands down.

If you mean which has the best combo of flavor and construction to really show what DE can do...L40 or FFP

Start with an Undercrown Corona Viva. If you like it go to a No.9, then T52, then get into the Unicos. That's usually the part of the slope that is covered in crisco, WD40, and snot. Once you hit that point there's no stopping, you're going to slide all the way down lol.....speaking from experience

Yeah, that's what I meant. Like their signature stick. Thanks for all the answers!

My Uzi Weighs a Ton was actually my gateway to getting hooked on the LP's. Unlike most I prefer it over the Undercrown.

What a great question!! I had to think about that for a while.


For me... Drew Estates does "earth" like no other. I am a DE fan for exactly that reason. They just do dirt the way I like dirt done.

So were you a DE virgin, and assuming you have smoked more than your share of maduros, I would say to start with a #9, or a MUWAT Baitfish. I find these two offerings really show off the earth as "only" they know how.

YMMV

I agree with "earth like no other" statement. They pretty much perfected that craft. I would recommend smoking Undercrown for a while. It's like trying a more affordable 12 year malt scotch before diving into a more refined 15 year+ single malt scotch.
