Kentucky Fire Cured Swamp Thang Robusto 5" * 54

Like some pre-historic creature that crawled out of a backwoods bog, the Kentucky Fire Cured Swamp Thang Robusto has come to claim your palate. The medium-strength “Thang” starts off with an eye-catching green-hued Dominican Candela wrapper that transitions to a dark, oily Mexican San Andres wrapper. This contrasting duo covers a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The Swamp Thang’s tobacco has been dried using the centuries old Kentucky Fire-Cured method that gives it a distinctive hickory aroma and flavor that melds well with the tobacco’s earthy and peppery notes, and an appetizing barbecue sweetness. Handmade at the La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate factory in Nicaragua, the Kentucky Fire Cured Swamp Thang is best tamed with your favorite scotch.

  KFC (Kentucky Fire Cured) Swamp Thang

  It's time to head into the abyss with the newest rendition of the popular KFC blend by Drew Estate - meet Swamp Thang. Rising from the pit of innovation, Swamp Thang takes the familiar smokey mesquite goodness of its predecessor and morphs it into something even more extraordinary by utilizing a neon green Candela leaf wrapper on the first two-thirds of the cigar, reverting to its previous state right after the band. This rare combo allows for the introduction of earthy notes that amazingly pair very well with the hickory undertones found in the past, and a slight underlying pepper to simultaneously season things up a bit. There's no reason to be scared - this is one mutant you'll want to meet.
