Spirit of The Month EVANSTONMAN’S Casa Dragones Tequila Joven
dubbed “Tastemaker’s Top Tequila”

One sip of this heavenly spirit will prove to you that tequila is from HEAVEN.
The flavor is dominated by smooth smoked oak and vanilla experience for the tongue. The texture is like a silk rolling down your tongue. Although its a little pricey the true tequila snob will find satisfaction as all of the senses come alive with this liquid I can only describe as “a mothers warmth.”
Handcrafted in small batches in Tequila, Mexico Casa Dragones Joven is a rare style of 100% Pure Blue Agave tequila, hand-finished by gently balancing silver tequila with extra aged tequila for a complex, smooth taste that’s perfect for sipping.
Take the time to find this brand and keep it in your man cave.
EVANSTONMAN’S Cigar of The Month Liga Privada Undercrown Maduro
This cigar, released in 2011, came about because the torcedores at the Drew Estate factory were smoking so many Liga Privadas that the company was having trouble keeping inventory.
The Undercrown has dark brooding, syrup, and cocoa powder notes. The wrapper tastes of hints of cognac or rum. The ’09 Verite was more earthy, savory, smooth, and delicately balanced.
The Undercrown uses a Connecticut-grown stalk-cut Habano leaf (the same one used in Liga Privada T52) for its binder, and the filler is a blend of Brazilian Mata Fina and Cuban-seed Nicaraguan tobaccos.
The result, as you could well imagine, is outstanding. Undercrown is chocolaty, earthy, creamy, and peppery with some of the richest tobacco flavors you can find. The construction is on par with any Drew Estate cigar, and ensures an easy draw and razor-straight burn from start to finish.
