Review of Drew Estate 20 Acre Farm Cigar

Drew Estate 20 Acre Farm cigars feature filler tobaccos grown in Florida by cigar retailer Jeff Borysiewicz, who founded the Corona Cigar Co. and now has several cigar stores located in and around Orlando and Central Florida. The cigar is made in Nicaragua with an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, Honduran Sun Grown Habano binder, and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua blended with the featured Florida Sun Grown leaf from Jeff's 20-acre farm located in Clermont, Florida.

The cigars were introduced in November 2021, and became available during December 2021 in three sizes including a Toro (6 x 52), a Gordito (6 x 60), and a Robusto (5.25 x 54). The Robusto is the subject of this review, and is priced at $13.95 per single cigar (as of September 2024) at Corona Cigar.

In February 2022, a fourth 20 Acre Farm Belicoso vitola was announced and debuted the following month, exclusive to Corona Cigar Co. However, the original three sizes can also be found at other cigar retailers. For additional info about these cigars, check out DrewEstate.com.

The sample Drew Estate 20 Acre Farm Robusto cigar started off with a very pleasant and modestly sweet tobacco flavor joined by a nice nutty taste. Within the first five minutes, a woodsy flavor joined the mix along with subtle hints of a very light pepper, while the smoke moved up from mild-to-medium to more medium bodied. After another 10 minutes, the flavor became more woodsy along with some creamy notes as the sweet and nutty tastes began to fade. By the 25-minute mark, the flavor was predominately wood, and then stayed pretty much consistent until the end of the smoking session.

The 20 Acre Farm Robusto was very well made and had a good draw, even burn, and held a long ash. No relights nor touch-ups were needed during the 45 minutes that it took me to smoke the cigar down to two inches remaining.

The Florida filler tobacco in the bunch added just a little bit extra oomph to the overall flavor of the 20 Acre Farm cigar, which was also blended with more traditional fillers. The end result was not a drastic departure from the taste that most cigar smokers have become accustomed, which is certainly not a bad thing. Although this medium bodied cigar would be appropriate for all levels of cigar smokers, newer smokers might also enjoy Corona's 10-year Anniversary Cigar for about half the price. I recommend the 20 Acre Farm cigar to more seasoned cigar smokers, who should appreciate the flavor nuances in a boutique cigar more than newer cigar smokers. The bottom line, I'm rating the Drew Estate 20 Acre Farm cigar with a very good 4 points on a 5-point scale.
