If there’s one wrapper that Drew Estate undoubtedly knows how to work with, it’s Maduro. Featured on the original Undercrown, as well as their world-famous Liga Privada lines, these guys have been slinging full-bodied, Maduro wrapped blends for as long as I can remember… Today, a new contender for the DE throne enters the ring – Factory Smokes Maduro, a bundled product that delivers the excellent flavor you’d expect from a Jonathan Drew release at a most wallet-friendly price tag.
Offered up in four different sizes, Factory Smokes Maduro features a dark and oily wrapper overtop Indonesian binder. And let’s get one thing clear — these aren’t 2nds or Fumas. This is a blend specifically designed and crafted to innovate in the bundled space. The best cigar I’ve found par none for yard work or BBQ’ing, each Factory Smokes Maduro delivers a nice balance of espresso, dark chocolate, and slight black pepper at one helluva nice bargain.
I found these through a friend and for the money especially they are really a good smoke. In fact I prefer to smoke them over some of the more expensive ones. They are my go to for every day smoking. Gd deal without a doubt.

Honest review
Feb 18, 2019
The construction of the Maduro wasn’t great. I punch my cigars. The cap fell off every time, leaving the end to fray and fall apart. I recommend a full cut with the Maduro. I ordered the Connecticut, the Sweets and the Maduro. I had no issues with the others. All good smokes, especially for the price. I will be ordering more.

They are very similar to an Undercrown Maduro with a little more crudeness to the taste. I only smoke them if I want a cigar while I’m driving or working in the garage. They serve the purpose I hired them for! :)

EUREKA! Rejoice Blue & White collar men of work. This new Drew Estate release entering the sub-$2 stick market is such a surprise. Freshness, flavors of chocolate & smoke abound. What really stands out is how fresh these are ready to deliver a fine experience right out of the bundle as one would expect with a much higher priced DE cigar.They'll even cure the common cold, well maybe not - nothing does! Ready to try the Sun Grown. Enjoy.

it's a good value - the smoke is flavorful and the burn is fairly consistent - i've been through 4 bundles i think, and all had a good draw. the wrapper is a bit rustic for my liking. not so nice in the mouth. they tend to get smushy and unravel in the last 3rd

Clearly these aren't rolled with the same long pieces of tobacco, but the flavor and smoke is tasty and very similar to the long leaf maduro. These are great for an everyday smoke and much easier on the wallet.

This was quite a flavorful surprise for such a budget cigar. Great gar for hoofing it around the links. Be aware it is a short filler so there is the usual spitting with such fare. But a small price (no pun intended) to pay for a tasty number.

Was excited to try these, and was not disappointed. The robustos is a good size, the burn was actually very good and dumped smoke like a No.9. Flavor is that of an Undercrown Maduro and a little Nica Rustica with a nice medium body.

A good, light smoke.
Oct 09, 2018
Picked up a couple of these at the store over the weekend. The wrapper is a beautifully colored dark chocolate, but has a rough appearence, andthe foot on both sticks I purchased has a definite outward bloom. I used a V groove cut, and the cap cut smoothly without flaking or cracking. The pre-light draw is smooth, if a bit loose, and has a pleasant flavor. The foot lit easily and had a consistent start. The first draw had a well-rounded but mild flavor (for a maduro, this stick is mild). The wrapper started to split in multiple places for about the first inch, after a few minute of smoking. Fortunately, this did not extend further than about a an inch and a half from the foot, and once the burn caught up, I had no further issues. In the last third of the stick, it became mushy to the touch, but maintained a good smoke and flavor. The stick lasted about 30 minutes.

JD is an amazing individual, and he has created yet another incredible gem! As someone that can appreciate the top end hand crafted smokes, yet has a budget that doesn't allow indulging upon $10+ sticks with regularity, allow me to say that he has knocked this one out of the flipping park! The Kuba Kuba has always been a gem to me, but this new selection is going to appeal to so many cigar lovers. Beautiful hand rolled stick with a Maduro wrapper, a sweet tip, and nuances to entice even those that can afford the higher priced selections. Great ash. This is a beautiful stick. If you can relate to anything I've written, gift yourself and order some of these tonight!

No disappointment here...
Sep 22, 2018
I reckon this is Drew Estate's offering into the world of blue collar cigar lovers. Since that's the world I live in (Patron pallet and Swisher Sweet budget) I feel I'm qualified to chime in. First, the price point can't be beat. Second, construction is excellent for a blue collar offering. The stick offers a good volume smoke and an after taste that doesn't need to be gargled away with bourbon. Actually paired quite nicely with a taste of Evan Williams Black. Burn was even, right down to the nub. The ash doesn't hold very tightly, but doesn't flake off and drift around my head either. The opening burn is a bit harsh, but settles down into an increasingly intense and nice smoke. Been smoking the CI Freash Rolled as my daily, but if the remaining sticks stay consistent, Factory Smokes will be replacing them. Ordering up the Sungrown next. Was expecting something nice from Drew Estate with this cigar...and they didn't disappointment me.

This is one of the greatest maduro cigars I have ever smoked! I do not usually buy sandwich cigars, but I had to try this one..And I am happy I did...It has a fantastic sweet taste that will please maduro cigar lovers.....And you can't beat the price....I hope Drew Estate keeps making this cigar and soon comes out with a long filler version so I won't have to keep spitting out the short filler bits in my mouth....
