Drew Estate's Isla del Sol Sun Grown Churchill delivers tropical vibes with every puff, measuring 7"x50 in classic parejo shape. This coffee-infused stick features a sun-kissed Sumatran wrapper hugging Nicaraguan filler, retailing at $5.33 per cigar in 20-count boxes. The sugared cap offers an instant dessert-like kick - think café con leche with caramel drizzle.
The sugared cap hits immediately with vanilla cream soda sweetness. Tightly-packed smoke carries distinct Sumatran coffee bean aromas - not bitter espresso but creamy iced latte. Burn stays razor-sharp despite the oily wrapper.
At 1.5" mark, caramelized banana notes emerge beneath coffee dominance. Retrohale reveals baking spices - mainly nutmeg with cinnamon whispers. Ash holds firm through 30-minute smoke time.
Sweetness intensifies near band point, transitioning to honey-drizzled pastries. Some gurgling occurs past 5" mark - recommend stopping before wrapper seam unwinds. Leaves lingering cocoa powder aftertaste.
The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper shows moderate tooth with visible oil sheen. Triple cap remains intact despite pigtail twist, though some samples exhibit slightly lumpy bunching. Draw resistance varies between boxes - 2023 production shows improvement.
