Bdawg says: Just had my first tastes of KY Fire Cured Tobacco this week, and I must say, I dig it! First with Kentucky Gentleman Cigars, now with MUWAT KY Fire Cured. What is KY Fire Cured? Per Drew Estates website: a little quote from Nicholas Melillo, Chief of the Broadleafs, “First off, Kentucky Fire Cured is from a stalk-cut tobacco. The initial firing of KFC is done at low heat between 100 F to 115 F degrees and maintained until the color reaches solid brown. Once color is set temperatures increase to 120F- 130F to completely cure down the midrib of the leaf and darken. Once the midrib is dried the temperature will be reduced and the smoke maximized with saw dust to finish the leaf. When KFC hits your olfactory nerve you know it! ”
The result is a unique BBQ smoked meat flavor. This cigar is a little more nuanced to the previously tasted KY Gentleman, although I enjoyed both immensely. The wrapper is dark brown, smooth, toothy, and well constructed. The draw is easy, producing a powdery white ash. The flavor is comes straight from the smokehouse. Hickory, oak, with a hint of smoked meat. The burn is slow and even.
