Drew Estate's The Factory Smokes Connecticut Shade Robusto is a mild to medium-bodied cigar that is reasonably priced. It is a popular option for an everyday smoke because of its smooth, creamy flavour profile and 5 inch length with a 54 ring size.

First Third: A smooth, creamy tobacco foundation greets the puff. Cedar, black coffee, and a subtle sweetness that is sometimes compared to caramel or graham crackers are among the most noticeable characteristics.

Second Third: The deeper the cedar, the more "woodsy" the profile gets. The original richness is retained, but hints of leather and toasted nuts appear.

Last Third: Black and white pepper are added at the end of the cigar, especially on the retrohale. The tastes can become a little stronger and more earthy toward the nub, but they are still balanced.
