About This Cigar from the Maker
The Sweetheart of Deadwood
Sweet Jane was born in the town of Deadwood, and her spirit never left. The most beautiful of her sisters, Sweet Jane has always been a heartbreaker. Sweet, seductive, and sensual – we honor her spirit with a fantastic cigar that’s sure to have you begging for more. The original size in the Deadwood Tobacco Co. line by Drew Estate, Sweet Jane Corona was presented in a short and tasty 5″ x 46 vitola and wrapped in a luscious Maduro cover-leaf, delivering a mellow profile with notes of coffee, cedar, and chocolate. With numerous vitolas to follow throughout the years, Sweet Jane evolved from simply a size to a brand family loved by all … and love is for suckers.

🍫🔥 “A Sweet Little Rebel”: Our His & Hers Take on the Deadwood Sweet Jane
Some cigars whisper. Some cigars announce themselves. And then there’s the Deadwood Sweet Jane — a cigar that struts in wearing chocolate perfume, batting syrup‑kissed eyelashes, and daring you not to fall a little bit in love.
We’ve had Sweet Janes resting in our humidor for a while, but this was our first time lighting them up together. And as it turns out, this cigar isn’t just a smoke — it’s an experience. A dessert. A mood. A whole personality wrapped in a Maduro wrapper.
Here’s how Sweet Jane treated each of us.
🔥 His Take — Jeff’s Experience
Sweet Jane and I got along from the first cold draw.
Before the flame even touched the foot, the aroma hit me: chocolate, coffee, a little cinnamon, and that earthy‑leathery backbone Drew Estate is known for. The draw was smooth and pleasant, leaving a sugary kiss on the lips — the kind of sweetness that makes you nod like, Yep, this is going to be good.
Once lit, the cigar settled into a mild‑to‑medium flavor profile with medium strength, exactly where I like it. The sweetness stayed present without being overwhelming, weaving in and out with notes of cocoa, roasted coffee, and warm baking spices. It’s the kind of cigar that doesn’t demand your attention but rewards you when you give it.
The final third picked up a little more intensity — a touch more earth, a little more leather — but still balanced and enjoyable. Sweet Jane is one of those cigars that feels familiar even the first time you smoke it. Approachable. Friendly. A crowd‑pleaser.
If you’re new to cigars or just love a sweet‑leaning profile, she’s a solid pick.
💋 Her Take — Nancy Fae’s Experience
Sweet Jane had me at hello.
The cold aroma alone — chocolate and tobacco — was enough to make me smile. I tasted the tip before lighting, and it was syrupy sweet, like a little dessert preview. I love a cigar that sets the tone early.
First third: Medium body, medium strength, and a sweet flavor that stayed steady and comforting. Second third: Still medium, but the sweetness softened just enough to let the tobacco peek through. Final third: A little harsher, but still enjoyable — the kind of “I’d smoke this to the nub if it weren’t so late” finish.
I paired mine with an Island Whisper cocktail, and surprisingly, the sweetness of the drink and the sweetness of the cigar didn’t compete. They balanced each other — like two people dancing to the same rhythm without stepping on toes.
Sweet Jane is the kind of cigar that makes you feel confident as a newer smoker. She’s flavorful without being intimidating, sweet without being artificial, and interesting without being complicated. A perfect “in the wild” smoke.
🥃 “Two Perspectives, One Sweet Conclusion” — Our Joint Wrap‑Up
The Deadwood Sweet Jane isn’t just a cigar — she’s a vibe. A little sweet, a little bold, a little rebellious. The kind of cigar that makes both seasoned smokers and beginners feel right at home.
For Jeff, she was a mild‑to‑medium, chocolate‑kissed companion with just enough complexity to stay interesting. For Nancy Fae, she was a confidence‑boosting, dessert‑leaning treat that paired beautifully with a cocktail and an easy night out.
Together? She gave us a shared experience worth writing about — and definitely worth repeating.
