Drew Estate Blackened S84 Corona

HISTORY

What humbly started as a one-man retail kiosk in New York has grown to become one of the greatest success stories in any industry.

“The Rebirth of Cigars” is more than a corporate slogan; it is the Drew mantra. It reflects how they approach everything they do within the cigar industry, from their production techniques, branding, creative direction and even how they designed their factory. Drew always charts their own course and does things their way and never looks back. There is only one direction at Drew Estate, and that is forward.

The real art takes place on the factory floor at their Gran Fabrica in Estelí, Nicaragua, where over 135,000 handmade cigars are rolled daily following the classic, artisan Cuban handmade techniques of crafting cigars. Drew is ceaselessly experimenting with methodology and even the perception of what a cigar is supposed to be.

It is this willingness to experiment and open-minded approach that has enabled Drew to not only produce sought-after brands but also create entirely new segments within the premium cigar market.

BLACKENED S84

Shade to Black. Following the success of Blackened M81, Drew Estate announced the launch of the Connecticut Shade wrapped Blackened S84. The cigars are a passion project between Jonathan Drew, Founder & President of Drew Estate, James Hetfield, Metallica co-founder, singer & guitarist and Rob Dietrich, the Master Distiller and blender of BLACKENED American Whisky. Hetfield and Dietrich worked closely with Drew for over a decade to create the perfect blend for the cigar. The Blackened S84 takes aficionados on a nuanced journey with its deliciously smooth and inviting blend.

Wrapped in a luxurious Connecticut Ecuador wrapper leaf, the profile of this cigar is distinctly different from the original Blackened M81 while still retaining the foundational qualities due to the Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan Maduro and Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro filler leaves.

“The new S84 Shade to Black is a must-try for any Connecticut Shade smoker. It’s like a deep, dark, rich Connecticut that’s smooth as silky velvet, plush with triple plushness” – Jonathan Drew
