Drew Estate Central Park Stroll
(2.92)
We really cherish the days when we'd stroll through Central Park on a lazy Summer afternoon. The sweet aroma makes you feel like you’re standing outside a bakery; notes of chocolate, vanilla and caramel blend harmoniously with mellow tobaccos.
Notes: 2013 IPCPR release.

The black cavendish is smooth and vanilla sweet. The chocolate topping is much more obvious than the vanilla and caramel, which are back up support. Very monochromatic. Burns wet even with a little dry time, and leaves moisture and a little dottle in the bowl. Won’t bite, and has no real nicotine to speak of. No harsh spots. Has a pleasant after taste and room note. It’s not bad, but is a very routine entrant in the genre with a little thinness in the strength of the toppings. Not a two star product because of the goop in the bowl and lack of depth of taste, so it’s one and half, rounded down to one, which may sound tough, but there’s richer and deeper tasting mixtures with the same flavor profile at a cheaper price.

09/04 Update - after 3 months, I have decided this is not a very good smoke - drab taste, bowl gets murky towards the bottom....not for me.
Tin Note - Tin note is a very nice chocolatey-liqour smell. Liquor smell has died down a little after one week open, starting to smell more like a brownie.
Room Note - Pleasant, chocolate latte type smell
Draw/Flavor - Nice smooth draw, no bite for me. Flavor and aftertaste I would equate to a Middleton's Black and Mild...nothing fabulous, but a nice relaxing smoke. I will try again after the tin has been open for 3 weeks like other reviews have suggested. Again, nothing special about this blend, if its not any better in 2 weeks it will be cellared.

The taste is pretty good until 3/4 of the way down. There is a definite chocolate flavor up front. I have tried this blend several times and it bites the hell out of my tongue and the last 1/4 of the bowl tastes charred and ashy. Boswell's Pipers Pleasure is 10 times better than this will ever be in my opinion.
