Herrera Estelí Brazilian Maduro is a beautiful addition to the Cuban-inspired Herrera Estelí brand family, providing a medium to full-bodied Maduro experience that showcases the combination of Nicaragua and Brazil at its finest. It comes wrapped in a dark, plantation grown Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper – a leaf typically used as a binder or in the filler. Applied on top, it provides pronounced floral and earthy flavors. Underneath is a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and long-fillers from Nicaragua. The Drew Estate Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro received an impressive 92-point rating, noting: "...malty, fruity qualities are beautifully showcased with each dense, chewy puff. Copious amounts of coffee bean also emerge before the earthy, slightly spicy finish."
At the 2018 IPCPR Trade Show, Drew Estate introduced the fourth blend under its Herrera Estelí line, the Herrera Estelí Brazilian Maduro. Herrera Estelí was the first brand introduced by Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera after he joined Drew Estate back in 2012. In developing the Herrera Estelí Brazilian Maduro, Willy built upon the Mata Fina wrapper by incorporating a Connecticut Broadleaf binder as well as Nicaraguan and Dominican filler-leaves. The flavor profile of this award-winning blend perfectly captures the smooth, floral notes of Brazilian tobacco while delivering loads of spice, pepper, and dark chocolate, balancing the sensory experience to utter perfection.
This fourth installment from Drew Estate's legendary master blender Willy Herrera, provides the cigar connoisseur with a mouthful of rich, earthy, chocolaty, and sweet tobacco flavors accented by some subtle floral tones that provide a truly unforgettable smoking experience. Although a full-flavored blend, these flavors are delivered in such a creamy smooth fashion it can be enjoyed by every type of smoker.
