This full bodied, Maduro expression is the first blend released from the Drew Estate factory since Willy Herrera was named Master Blender in June 2014. In Nicaragua people in the North are called Norteno's. When Willy Herrera joined Drew Estate he was a Northener in Esteli - a Norteno in his own way. This outside influence is what makes Herrera Esteli special.
The ‘Norteno’ showcases extensively aged tobaccos from the Esteli and Jalapa growing regions of Nicaragua, coupled with a spicy Honduran binder and a rich bold Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper. With an even draw and burn, this cigar delivers a peppery, woody smoke with sweeter notes of caramel and cocoa.
