Quote05Venturer - 3/18/2018 3:14 PMPersonally very few sticks are worth that price point, especially a DE.Just my honest opinion.
QuoteMusicCity - 3/18/2018 1:47 PMI think Willie has a hot hand so I'm excited to try them as well. I'm also scared off by the price and haven't pulled the trigger yet. I think over time we'll see prices fall and then I'll check it out.ETA: smallbatch blind review.https://www.smallbatchcigar.com/drew-estate-pappy-van-winkle-tradition-review-blind
very interesting. i would love to smoke one but around here nobody stocks high end DE. the minimum purchase required by DE keeps the local folks from bringing in the top shelf offerings. i used to jump in and buy a box online just to try things but for the last few years i find i'm buying what i know i like much more.
i'm not buying much for a bit. the pipe fixins i just bought were not in my budget so i have to back off for a bit.
QuoteAustinMike - 3/19/2018 10:14 AMI smoked a Liga #9 beli over the weekend and was very disappointed. One of the guys at the shop described it as "monochromatic". That was a good description. It's the same flavor from start to finish. No complexity IMHO. I'll pass on these cigars. I'm sure they'll end up in the clearance section soon.

i wonder if they tasted better to us when it took a year or so of looking to get a box the 15 minutes they were available or has the quality dropped so they can always be available?
