Muwat Kentucky Fire Cured 'Just A Friend'. 6x52. Medium-dark brown wrap. Excellent build with nice lines and some vines across the stick. Tight draw pre-light, easy draw post-light by the first third. First half taste of mild tobacco, spice-roast notes. Second half is more aromatic, cloves, herbal, very smooth, effortless draw. Burn is even across the stick. Ash is marbled well, darker shade, clings two inches easy.
This is an outstanding smoke, another quality cigar from Drew Estate. Excellent craft, perfectly even fill, mild herbal, aromatic. Wonderful. Highly recommended.
From the company:
"The MUWAT story began on the very first final consumer blending session at the Joya de Nicaragua factory in late 2010 during a Cigar Safari tour. After conducting blending sessions for the previous 3 years at the Drew Estate factory we were amped up to extend the concept to JDN. I worked with the JDN team utilizing DE tobaccos, including a San Andreas Negro Wrapper, Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade Binder and hearty Brazilian Mata Fina Filler, coupled with Nicaraguan fillers provided by JDN. The blend proved to be rich and earthy, with a bright, sweet undertone. As months of blending passed, I felt this blend was most noble in the 6×60 format and began calling this cigar “MUWAT”. We all had a good laugh at the name, but when I went back to their factory to pick up the round of 50 sticks, the brand was officially born."
