“Undercrown Shade” marks the first release blended by Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera not to fall under the Herrera Estelí brand family. Herrera’s continued involvement in blending and brand development within Drew Estate is evident with this new blend, as Herrera worked extensively with the Undercrown roller team who blended the original Undercrown line to develop this new Connecticut blend.
Featuring an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Sumatran binder, as well as Dominican Criollo 98 and Nicaraguan Criollo & Corojo fillers.
The final blend is medium-bodied, lush & ultra-smooth, flavors that only a shade grown wrapper can deliver.
What humbly started as a one man retail kiosk in New York has grown to become one of the greatest success stories in any industry. "The Rebirth of Cigars" is more than a corporate slogan, it is the Drew mantra. It reflects how they approach everything they do within the cigar industry from their production techniques, branding, creative direction and even how they designed their factory.
Drew always chart their own course and do things their way and never look back. There is only one direction at Drew Estate and that is forward. The real art takes place on the factory floor at their Gran Fabrica in Esteli, Nicaragua, where 135,000 handmade cigars are rolled daily following the classic, artesian Cuban handmade techniques of crafting cigars.
Drew are ceaselessly experimenting with methodology and even the perception of what a cigar is supposed to be. It is this willingness to experiment and open minded approach that has enabled Drew to not only produce sought after brands, but to create entirely new segments within the premium cigar market.
