Do your self a flavor (pun intended ) and buy yourself a swamp rat from drew estate. They have them at smokingpipes or cigarbids. Cheap and an absolute great cigar!
Had one of these a couple weeks ago, and it really hit the spot. I mostly smoke real light CT wrappers day to day, and to my primitive palate, the candela wasn't all that different.
I smoke a variety of wrappers but am not a daily cigar smoker and never will be. I only smoke a few cigars a week. My wife hates the smell on me. I am guessing that I would need to smoke cigars daily to refine my palate.
I have an 8-5-8 that I should be tapping into the next week or so, I'll post up a Lil review when I do. I have a tin of swamp thangs I haven't tried yet either.
Please do, I now have a pack of Swamp Rats as those are hitting the spot nicely.
I also saw that Drew Estate's Factory Smokes now has a candela for a cheap version. I may try to buy a couple to test it out, but everywhere I looked, you need to buy the full bundle.
