Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro received a well-deserved 91-rating, earning a spot in the Top 25 Cigars of 2017. Wrapped in a dark San Andres maduro wrapper, Drew Estate Undercrown starts with notes of coffee with a slight hint of spice that becomes more prominent as the cigar progresses. Even as it progresses, the cigar still manages to round out as a medium to full-bodied treat. With a unique combination of Nicaraguan and Brazilian long-fillers, Undercrown Maduro delivers flavors of black pepper, espresso, and dark chocolate.
Born on the Factory Floor, Undercrown Maduro is a direct result of the passion, ingenuity, and unbreakable spirit of our cigar rollers at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate. Featuring a delicious Connecticut River Valley Stalk-Cut and Stalk-Cured Habano binder, as well as select Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan filler leaves, the Undercrown Maduro is finished with a dark, sultry Mexican San Andres wrapper. Created by the rollers of the Drew Estate factory, Undercrown uses tobaccos similar to the Liga Privada #9 but that are more readily available. Handmade in Esteli, Nicaragua, this cigar is a fantastic alternative to the original Liga Privada line from Drew Estate.
Today, Undercrown Maduro stands tall as a testament to the spirt of the rolleros and buncheros that lead our factory's rolling floor – what we call in Nicaragua 'the Salon.' Undercrown Maduro is world-renowned for consistently, year after year, delivering rich layers of earthy complexity backed by lush, sweet undertones. Truly a balanced smoke, this trophied Drew Estate original blend set a new standard in the world of Nicaraguan-produced, medium-bodied Maduros.
