The Drew Estate Undercrown Shade is a testament to creativity and collaboration, born from the ingenuity of Drew Estate’s factory rollers. When demand for the Liga Privada 9 made it unavailable to the rollers, they were challenged by master blender Willy Herrera to craft a Connecticut-based blend that would satisfy their discerning palates. With Herrera’s guidance, the Undercrown Shade emerged, redefining what a mellow cigar could offer.

This flavorful and balanced creation features a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, a Sumatran binder, and a blend of Dominican Criollo ’98 and Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo long-fillers. The result is a smooth, mellow to medium-bodied cigar with remarkable complexity. Each puff delivers notes of toast, nuts, cream, and subtle spice, all underlined by a sweet and satisfying finish. Whether you’re new to cigars or a seasoned full-bodied enthusiast, the Undercrown Shade promises a fascinating and delightful experience.
