The "unique" series from Drew Estate features a number of distinctive smokes that you won't find in the average everyday rotation.
Well, how's this for unique?
You're smoking leftovers!
Okay, but these aren't your sad, deflated, covered-in-foil dinner leftovers from last Tuesday - these are the seriously tasty leftovers that people fight over. In this case, the leftovers are from leaves cut for the Liga Privada No. 9 and T52 cigars.
Now, when you're working on an arts and crafts project, you might just sweep your castoff trimmings into the wastebasket.
When you're woodworking, you might sweep them into a scrap wood bin and when you're making cigars?
You sweep your tobacco leaf trimmings into more delicious cigars and call them the Drew Estate Unico Series "Nasty Fritas!"
That's the kind of resourcefulness we can really get behind.
So, where the heck did that name come from?
Well, one of the Drew Estate dudes was talking about a favorite recipe called, "Nacatahuevos," which he says is a "creation of Nacatamale with 2 over easy eggs on top." Some people said that the dish was a way of "getting nasty on some French fries.
"Thus, "papas fritas" inspired "nasty fritas."
Smokers have called the Liga Privada Nasty Fritas "marvelously complex," and put body somewhere between medium and full. The pyramid shape provides a tapered head that also offers serious flavor concentration. "But," you ask "does it taste nasty?"
Not at this price, brothers.

United StatesFantastic Draw & Burn with Great Flavor
I am a huge fan of the H99 Papas Fritas cigars from the same line, so I decided to give this little pyramid a shot. Straight out of the gate, the highlight of this stick for me was the absolutely perfect airflow and draw, right in the sweet spot, resulting in massive tufts of dense smoke which immediately herald top-shelf quality. Just like the Papas Fritas, it's a tiny little stick requiring zero touch-ups or babying, just a perfect burn the whole way down to the proportionally tiny nub. Stellar construction. The flavor here is less majestic than the knockout H99 Papas had to offer, hence a 4 star review instead of 5 for me, but I get the impression that plenty of other cigar lovers would draw the exact opposite conclusion. I read this as less juicy and complex, less creamy and sweet, and more to do with dry and woody notes of pepper, hickory, and leather -- although those notes are really clear and lovely, and fans of earthy, peppery smokes will rejoice. As the cigar enters its final third and the cone shape becomes sharp and short, the flavors become a little over-compressed for me, so again I prefer the Papas petite corona shape. But it's worth pointing-out that this same cone shape gives way to a singular combination of complexity and brevity (about 30 minutes), making it an unbeatable cold weather cigar, and/or the perfect breakfast stick. I can see plenty of people abandoning their AF Short Story for this and never looking back. Nasty Fritas will definitely scratch the itch for Liga devotees who want a A+ quality, 30-minute snack -- just be prepared for it to have you dreaming of a more substantial stick from the same tobacco!
