The Drew Estate Deadwood Tobacco Co. cigars include the Fat Bottom Betty, Sweet Jane, Crazy Alice, and Leather Rose. Together, they're the “Yummy Bitches!” Deadwood cigars are wrapped in a Maduro wrapper and are blended with aromatic and exotic tobaccos that bring out the natural sweetness of the cigars.
Fat Bottom Betty, Crazy Alice, and Sweet Jane are Nicaraguan puros. The Deadwood Leather Rose features a Brazilian Maduro wrapper, an Indonesian binder, and filler tobacco from Nicaragua. All of these sweetened cigars are hand-rolled exclusively for the Deadwood Tobacco Company by the world-famous Drew Estate Cigar Company in Esteli, Nicaragua. It’s a smooth mellow cigar enjoyed by both rough-cut biker types and lady cigar smokers. The wrapper is dark and supple, with an aroma similar to pipe tobacco and a flavor that hints at mocha with a touch of earthiness.

Deadwood cigars are made by Deadwood Tobacco in collaboration with Drew Estate. Vaughn Boyd, owner of Deadwood Tobacco noted that “Sweet Jane was born in the brothels of this historic city. She is naughty and got her reputation for breaking hearts and bringing the strongest men to their knees. Fat Bottom Betty came out of Rehab in 2013 to spread some large ass lovin’ with her sister Sweet Jane. Crazy Alice showed up in 2014 and God knows where that little firecracker has been! She is one pistol crackin’ little hussy! It brings me extreme happiness to see our Yummy Bitches on retail shelves across the country.”

Initial Thoughts:
Today we’re going to talk about and review the Deadwood Tobacco Sweet Jane Corona, a cigar that’s NOT infused, but does have a sugar tip.
I’ve never been a fan of infused or flavored cigars. In my experience, the tobacco in those cigars is often mediocre at best, but then an infusion or flavors are added to compensate for the lesser quality tobacco.
But that’s other cigars. Will the Deadwood Sweet Jane be better? Different? Let’s dive in.
The first thing I noticed about the Sweet Jane was its aroma. But don’t worry; these cigars aren’t “infused” and they don’t smell like cloves. If you’ve ever smelled or smoked a Backwoods cigar from the pouch, you’ll understand what the Deadwood Sweet Jane smelled like.
I consider myself a cigar purist. I enjoy the taste of tobacco without anything added. That said, I didn’t hate the Sweet Jane immediately.
Will the Deadwood Tobacco Sweet Jane Corona be worth a $9 price point and will it satisfy a more seasoned cigar smoker? Stick around.

Final Thoughts
After smoking the Deadwood Tobacco Sweet Jane Corona for 52 minutes, I had mixed feelings about it.
First off, I didn’t like it. I did not really care for this type of cigar.
However, the construction of this cigar was perfect. For a corona, a smoke time of just under an hour is about right. And, while I think the price is a little higher than what I’d like to pay, the Sweet Jane performed quite well.
All that said and my personal feelings about the flavors aside, the Deadwood Tobacco Sweet Jane Corona earns a CigarScore 4.
