Final Thoughts
After smoking the Drew Estate Factory Smokes Sun Grown Robusto for about 70 minutes, I can say that I didn't really care for it. Also, it's nowhere as good as the Factory Smokes Maduro.
Regarding the flavors, they were mostly unimpressive. Additionally, the construction on this budget cigar could've been better. I experienced an uneven burn multiple times, though I burned through most of them.
Overall, I didn't love the flavors and, even for a $2 cigar, the construction on this one wasn't as good as on the Maduro. So, the Drew Estate Factory Smokes Sun Grown Robusto earns a CigarScore 3.
