I wish I could get all the flavor notes off any cigar. I can only tell if I like it and which I like better than the other.

Just throwing it out there, you should make a playlist called Cut and Light for all of these types of videos.

Iv just got 2 of these from you guys as I can’t find them in the United Kingdom. As a fan of the band this cigar was worth waiting for. Buying some of these when I come to America next year(2025) oh and I’m buying them from cigar daily shop

I like the M81 and S84! Can’t wait to see what else they put out in the future!

I love this cigar. I'm not a big fan of Connecticuts usually but this one hits really nice.

I bought the drew estates freestyle live pack. Loved the three cigars so much, I had to request them for almost three months at my local cigar lounge. Finally have one now, enjoying with some sour candy, I rocket pop before, and a cucumber green tea. All while watching my son skate. Amazing cigar. I highly recommend this one.

Great review Tim .. totally agree with what you said . No tight draw on the 3 Ive had, the 3rd whilst watching this... Wonderful Cigar , looking forward to more... Keep the reviews coming BOTL....

I have tried that cigar and I agree with your notes. I’ve had two of them so far and it smokes real good smooth draw. It’s one of my go to if I haven’t my box just relax before I go to sleep.

Incongruent. Haven't heard that one since geometry class in high school. Kudos, Tim.

I can't wait to order this cigar thanks Tim 💪

another great video! time to go find me one to try!

I love this cigar, need a box

I’m not much on detecting “notes” I do know that when l light up a S84 and hit play on “Master of puppets” it’s going to be an hour well spent

Great Cigar! One of my favorites!🤘🏻💨🤘🏻

Motivated me to try m84 and m81, cool video barely found out few days ago we live next to each other, I want to meet you one day and shake your hand!! Still my first year into cigars and your vids helpful and informative expressing a huge thanks!!!

I havent had that particular cigar. I had the maduro which i loved so much that i ordered a 10pk last week. I am a maduro lover and highly recommend the blackened maduro

I had the Corona and the sweetness was more prevalent the whole way down. Such a different smoke from the M81 from essentially a wrapper change. If you've ever listened to the songs 'Blackened' and 'Fade to Black' these cigars pay decent homage to their namesakes. The M81 is a smoke that rewards taking less frequent and smaller draws due to its intensity. This one begs for more regular, deep draws.

I did enjoy the S84. I was not picking up all the flavors mentioned but I’m still relatively new to cigars. That being said I’m thoroughly enjoying the Dunbarton Stilwell Star Holiday Y2022 right now.

I don’t tend to get all the flavor notes out of my cigars. Just know which ones I like more than others. I’ve smoked one of these and really liked it. Not sure if I like it more than the original but feel it’s a nice addition to their brand. I’ll be getting more during the summer

I was waiting for this review , these are great with earl grey tea. My own two cents 👌

I got this as a freebie when I picked up a decent-sized order from a shop in PA and was highly impressed. It might turn out to be the cigar I like the most out of that trip

Didn't realize they'd added to the blackened line. Looking forward to trying this. I wasn't as high on the M81 as other people were (or as I expected to be as a big Drew Estate and full bodied fan). Sounds like it's got more complexity than the M81

Just smoked this one yesterday it was the 2nd time smoking it, it didn't disappoint ill be getting more. The one I smoked yesterday did have a bad draw and some burn issues in the 1st 3rd but fixed itself in the 2nd and 3rd parts

Definitely a white pepper note. Kind of flat but not a bad smoke. Next up M81

I found this to be a pleasant, flavorful cigar with nice balance and some complexity. Enjoyable despite the name.

Hey - Tim, Been watching your videos for about 6 months. Enjoyed your beginner vids. I see you did wrapper leafs part one. Ever consider verinces in filler and binder? Mainly how they affect flavor and how belnders pair them on a basic lv

Iv just ordered 2 from you because I can’t get them in the united kingdom. So can’t wait to try them .

In cooking with white pepper your usually looking for a little floral taste. So when describing a cigar as having a white pepper taste do you get some floral notes... just wondering? Thank you for your reviews. You've really given me insight on how to identify different tastes in cigars.

These were a hair better than the original ones , a little honey in the beginning and then a hint of sweetness throughout the rest of the way. I'll definitely buy them again..

So for those who tried it in the FSL kit and after release, can you tell a difference between the early release ones used int he FSL kit vs the production one and if so which did you like better?

Metallica fans know that Shade to Black is the best name.

Day 1 of asking Tim to decide what my first ever cigar box should be

Hello from Wolverhampton England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 I'm a long time follower first time commenter. I've been smoking for awhile but I struggle to pick out flavour notes.... mainly because I struggle to know what I'm looking for. I've always been able to find almonds as its my favourite nut lol. But cedar....peppers.....citrus.... and many many more you mention in cigars I struggle to pick out. Is there a way to help me start picking these notes and flavours out? Even with retro exhale I struggle. Any tips or advice?

Hey Tim. Is this perhaps the "FSL MAR 2024 prototype that DE put out in late winter this year? Those were really good.

I sell the Cigars and the Whiskey at my grocery store!🤘🏻

I still have my Freestyle Live pack, unopened. It's at my sister's house waiting for me to return to the US this summer. Then I'll bust it open and give it a whirl. She opened the box so I could enter the drawing, but the cigar pack is unopened. I'm not stupid.

My cousin and I smoked the corona version over the weekend. We came to the conclusion that it tastes like a Swisher Sweets 😂 Thoughts?

Foot band messed mine up just a tad…

This sounds like a Monte white. I’m gonna grab one. Tim is the goat on reviews! He likes it I buy it

How often does jim and tim smoke?

I didn’t care for the shade. Mine was a little bitter 🤷I will give it a second chance at some point though.

Jesus dude, .. take it easy.

Tried one Friday night and it was the most meh disappointing cigar I have had all year. It was bitter and a white pepper bomb

Gimme that shirt.... 😑

Cigar was very bland. 1 out of 10 for me.

Such a violent review. Feels like Freshman orientation or something.

I caint stand all this Metallica bull puckey. Blackened this and blackened this. Bunch of friggin sell outs.
