Description

Following up on the world renowned Undercrown series, Drew Estate has improved upon the line and released the Undercrown Connecticut Shade. A variation of the original gem, the Undercrown Connecticut is a mellow to medium-bodied cigar, primarily due to the wonderful Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The original Undercrown cigar was born out of a challenge. A challenge by Willy Herrera to the cigar rollers in the factory to create a cigar that would satisfy his palate, a cigar that would be equal to, or greater than, his favorite cigar; the Liga Privada 9.
“Underneath the hood” is a Sumatran binder and Dominican Criollo ’98, Nicaragua Corojo and Criollo long-fillers, the blend works with the binder and wrapper to produce toasty tastes of nuts, sweet cream, and toast, with notes of warm spice, citrus and a touch of sweet honey.
The Undercrown Connecticut Shade received a superb 91-rating by Cigar Aficionado!

The Drew Estate story is one of daring, heartbreak & success but, most of all, one of passion for cigars and the country of Nicaragua, where we have been making cigars since 1996. Jonathan Drew & Marvin Samel are not your average cigar makers, their story does not start in Cuba, or with fathers in the cigar business. It started with a dream, and through their can-do spirit and never-say-die attitude made Drew Estate one of the premier cigar manufacturers on the planet. The two frat brothers from New York started out small…. Small, as in a 16 square foot retail kiosk in the World Trade Center in NYC. The early days were fraught with peril, you’d think these two frat brothers went to the school of hard knocks. Picking themselves up, dusting themselves off and never backing down would become a trademark in the years to come for them & their fledgling cigar company, Drew Estate.
