I am definitely not a Metallica fan. I think i listened to them occasionally in the early to mid 90’s, but that’s not my scene at all. However, I absolutely love this collaboration with Drew Estate. DE produces insanely good and super strong cigars. This release had a ton of anticipation and obviously, when a major rock band is involved, the hype is intense.
So, I waited and waited for this to hit the shelves and I finally had a chance to try a few this week. Holy smokes! This is a stunning cigar. Visually stunning, aroma is fantastic and once I lit this puppy, I was really happy with it.
This cigar is about an 8.5 on the 1-10 scale of weak to strong sticks. That is my sweet spot and I just love really strong cigars, like this one. The flavors are absolutely exceptional, the quality is top notch and I think this is box worthy.
Tip: Buy a five pack, instead of just a single cigar you want to try. Each cigar has different, subtle characteristics to it. If I am dying to try a cigar, I pick up 5 or so and see how I like them over the course of the smoking process.

The Blackened M81 is a fantastic smoke for unwinding after a long day. It boasts a flawless burn, producing ample, smooth smoke with each draw. The flavor profile is bold and assertive, dominated by peppery spice notes. While the spice might be a bit much for some, I found it incredibly satisfying. It’s a great cigar to help you de-stress and appreciate the complex flavors.

Give this a try if you like maduro. A relight was needed, but otherwise burned well. The cigar produced a multitude of flavors including leather, coffee and dark chocolate with hints of molasses and occasional bursts of intense spiciness. Retrohale was mild with some sweetness.

Went to see Metallica on the M72 tour this year in NJ, and James was smoking a stogie while the band was playing Orion. Did a little investigating, and of course he was smoking this beauty! Full flavor, good construction, and plenty of smoke!

I was pleasantly surprised by these. With all maduro leaves the flavors were very bold. Got some espresso creamy cocoa and dark chocolate. I choose the corona vitola to get more of the intense flavors. Box worthy in my opinion

Não vi muitos sabores e nem evolução. Charuto mediano para quem gosta da marca. Comprei para um amigo que gosta muito de metálica e até ele ficou um pouco decepcionado. Talvez um tempo de guarda melhore a percepção, mas prefiro ir pra outros blends da marca

Not much flavor complexity here. Pepper and wood, and tons of smoke. I would bet money that this wrapper is treated to smoke the way it does, pretty typical of DE. I don’t think I’ll be going back to this one.

If you drink your coffee black then you will probably enjoy this cigar a lot. While not overly complex as far as flavor transitions go, the first light all the way down to the nub is very enjoyable. Strong coffee notes, not as sweet as I was expecting but just a slight hint of sweetness which gives it a fine finish. I highly recommend retrohaling if you can handle it if you enjoy some pepper in your cigars, just be sure you have tissues around because your eyes will most definitely water. Overall, it’s definitely worth trying.
