If you're looking for a Saint Patrick's Day cigar, you might look for something green to smoke. Well, that's just what I did earlier this year when I picked up the Drew Estate KFC Swamp Rat, a cigar with a green wrapper and a whole lotta attitude. Maybe.<br /><br />The Drew Estate KFC Swamp Rat, at least initially, reminds me of the Drew Estate KFC Just a Friend we reviewed, which had a barbeque-esque smoky flavor to it. However, this Swamp Rat (and the entire “Swamp” series) has a candela wrapper over most of the body of the cigar.<br /><br />After a close visual examination of the cigar, I noticed that the candela wrapper covers the entire cigar, not just the first two-thirds. Once I cut the end, the green leaf can be seen under the brown leaf covering the final third.<br /><br />Once lit, the Drew Estate KFC Swamp Rat had a perfect draw right off the bat. However, despite the fire-cured tobaccos, the initial flavors were light and quite mild.

Also, through the middle of the smoke, the cigar grew in complexity and I tasted something like a Wasabi heat along with the sweetness from the Candela leaf. The first half of the cigar was pretty good, but going into the second half, I didn't like it as much.<br /><br />Final Thoughts<br /><br />The first half of the Drew Estate KFC Swamp Rat was pre<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMzODUdmfyI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMzODUdmfyI</a>
