Drew Estate is bringing out a new line, anxious to try Florida Sun Grown. They appear to be larger vitolas than I prefer but definetely peak my interest.

Saw this today. Their Florida Barn Smoker Event is only about an hour from me. I'm going to hopefully make it next month and try these out
I am not a huge fan of DE cigars. But I would like to buy and try one.Quote:

What about other thread readers, which one appeals to you?
I would choose #3.
#3 looks to be the best to taste the wrapper....
#3 I think its 52 while the shorter robusto was 54
The toro is the skinny one at 6x52. Two others at 54 (three if you count the LE one), and one at 60 rg....Prices from 11.50 to 15.00...
Looks interesting. I would check them out.
Will definitely need to look into these; wonder how the climate and soil in Florida will effect the flavor. Preference is the toro.
i cant believe the Florida Barn Smoker still has tickets for sale lol usually the barn smokers sell out!! i would go either robusto or toro.
I'd go toro. Is the one on the far left a box-pressed toro?
That's interesting! I can't wait to see how these check out compared to the competition! Hopefully Florida still has enough latino spice to make the tobacco delicious!
welcome to the sunshine state :cool:Quote:

I'd like a smaller size plz.
Probably won't try this until it happens, or I simply come across one. Robusto or Box-Pressed for me. Short Perfecto would be bomb though :handball:
Haven't even tried the UC Shade yet, I'm so far behind this DE Train. Maybe if regulation stops it all I'll catch up sometime - otherwise, nice to see more cigars still coming to market, it's interesting at the very least.
Looking at the picture, and not knowing the sizes, I'd certainly select #3 as the best choice to check out the blend, wrapper to filler/binder etc.Quote:
