Drew Estates Undercrown

Love this stick, but heard a rumor that they are sprayed with oil. Any validity to this? Also heard the same about Liga Privadas. I hope this isn't true as I dislike additives.

Drew Estate is usually pretty distinctive in their cigar lines as to which ones are infused and which ones are not. I would be shocked if the Liga Privada line (and Undercrown) were "sprayed" cigars. I've never had any oils come off on my fingers anyway while smoking and I have had 4 Undercrowns, 2 No.9's, and a Dirty Rat. Not a large sample, but enough.

Whoever told you that has no idea what they are talking about.

I visited the factory a month ago, saw these being bunched, rolled and boxed, and I assure you that there is no oil being sprayed anywhere.

I too have been to the DE factory, at different times than Brooks, and I'll back what Brooks stated. The only oils being sprayed on the premises are the paints in Jessi Flores's art shop (Subculture Studios).

All I can think of as a possible explanation for the rumor is that one of the rollers might have been using a water mister bottle on the leaves to keep them pliable and someone thought it was something else.

I was gonna say, if they're spraying anything on them, it's liquid crack, cuz I can't stop smoking 'em!
