I was at the B&M looking at their pipe selection, wanting to see if I could get an actual briar. On a whim I went into the humidor and bough some nice Cigars as I enjoy them occasionally. Usually one a weekend. Got a Baitfish, a Perdomo Champagne, Joya Cabinetta, and the Maduro and Sungrown Factory Smokes.


The display of Tins caught my attention. They are small 4x32 cigars inside and according to the guy, about 30 minute smokes. I could use some short smoking cigars for those days when I don't want to dedicate 2 hours. So my question is, are these little guys filled with Long filler or are they short/mixed fill? The Drew Estate website says nothing on the subject and I have see one cigar website label them Mixed fill and another label them Long filler.

Also, have any of you tried them and found them to be good?


Nothing replaces my pipe for everyday enjoyment.
 
Don't quote me, but I believe they're all longfiller. I've had a Baitfish. Awesome short smoke.

I will say, Drew estate seems to be really good about making flavorful cigars at the various price points. Case in point, I have been enjoying their Factory smokes Shade. Less than $2 online, and only $2.59 at my B&M and it had a simple flavor profile that was still tasty. Sweet cream with a hint of spice. Nothing complex, not at all. BUT what flavors it had were good and consistent. So I imagine that their Tins will be of the same quality as their non tinned Brothers of the same Brand.

I was hesitant to try it at first, but I really didn't want to spend 9$ on a more expensive mellow cigar.(Given my palate is young) I am glad I did, as I found it to be simple yet good. Just a flavor of sweet cream with a hint of spice. Simple yet enjoyable. I have gotten a Sun Grown and the Maduro versions of it and have yet to try it, will report in with a full review later.

Given the cost online, they are bundles worth getting to fill up the humidor. The kind of stick when you are busy doing something or when you don't want something complex you have to think about.
 
The Drew Estates tins information only mention broadleaf tobacco is used, not how. The Isla del Sol and Tabaks are pretty tasty as well.

How does it compare to the regular sized stogie? What makes determining if they are long or mixed filler is the fact that they are included in the webpage for the regular sticks on the DE website. With no mention of them being mixed filler. I guess that if they are mixed filler it is only using the tobacco from the tins respective lines. (IE t52 tins using t52 tobacco from the long filler sticks)

I normally see people trashing mixed filler online, yet here these are getting good reviews and they possibly are. I think my Factory Smokes might be mixed filler and they taste good. Makes me wonder if the quality of the company doing the mixed filler is what is important...

Like comparing a Chillin Moose mixed filler to a DE or Rocky Patel mixed filler.
