KFC Sweets will be available for order in Drew Estate’s Booth at the 2018 IPCPR trade show in Las Vegas. The cigar itself is identical to the original KFC cigar, but according to a Press Release "The mouth feel on the cigar is like bacon maple goodness mixed with bourbon and barbecue."
"The cigar started out great with notes of wood and nuts. There was a overlying sweetness to the whole cigar that kept it all as one but had nice transitions throughout. The cigar kept me interested and waiting to see what the next third would be like. The draw was a little loose but I was getting an adbundance of smoke that was neither airy or light.
