The Drew Estate Undercrown 10 All Dekk'd Out Robusto was, unsurprisingly, made to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Undercrown line, as a result, they produced a cigar that is about as dressed up as it gets. Three bands and a ribbon? Yes, please. A hidden message beneath the second band, just waiting for you to peel it back? You betcha.

The construction quality is as you would expect given the dressing of this cigar. Solid, weighty, and perfectly packed. From the first to the last puff, the burn line stays impressively sharp. Each draw pulls smooth and easy, delivering generous mouthfuls of smoke. 

Flavour wise, this cigar is quite sweet as cigars go, not as much as the Cuatro Cinco but still noteworthy, with roasty, coffee, chocolate notes and a mild spice that hits a the back of the throat. At the halfway point the flavours dial up a notch, getting darker, richer and more intense yet all balanced by that natural sweetness that keeps each puff beautifully smooth. 

The cigar reviewing magazine/ website HalfWheel gave the Undercrown 10th anniversary an 89/100

This guy clearly knows a thing or two about cigars and loved it.
