Description
Drew Estate Undercrown was created by the factory rollers when due to overwhelming demand, they were stopped from burning the Liga 9. Drew Estate’s master blender, Willy Herrera, challenged the rollers to come up with a Connecticut based blend that would satisfy his palate, and so the Undercrown Shade came into being. An Ecuadoran Connecticut wrapper atop a Sumatran binder and Dominican criollo 98’ and Nicaraguan corojo and criollo long-fillers. Mellow to medium-bodied, the blend brings flavors of toast, nuts, subtle spice, and cream with an enjoyable sweetness. Undercrown Shade was recently honored as a fantastic cigar with a 91-rating. The review stated, "It's a bright and creamy... zesty with touches of lemon peel and dried orange. It's also sweet, with a very prominent note of honey on the palate."
