DREW ESTATE

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.

In late 1998, Jonathan Drew moved to Esteli, Nicaragua with the hopes of starting a rebirth in the cigar world. With a handful of rollers and an even smaller handful of money, the story of “That Crazy Gringo” began.

BLACKENED

Blackened M81 presents a journey through different Maduro leaves, starting with a thick and oily Maduro wrapper that’s grown in the rich volcanic soil of Mexico’s San Andres Valley. The binder and filler blend of Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro tobaccos include the boldest Pennsylvania Broadleaf ligero in Drew Estate’s vast tobacco inventory.

I had been wanting to try this for a while due to the great reviews it had been receiving in the cigar press, and now it is available in the UK. First impressions were of an attractive and well constructed cigar that cuts, lights and draws easily. It also had one of the most even burns that I have experienced for a while. However, although the tasting notes are generally correct (chocolate and espresso in the background) I didn't pick up much sweetness or fruit due to the overwhelming taste of pepper. I don't mind strong and spicy, but you can have too much of a good thing. For me this cigar lacks balance in the way it delivers its flavours. Perhaps some more age/time in the humidor would help, or a different vitola. I wouldn't out anyone off trying this if strong and peppery is your thing but, personally, I don't think that I am likely to try this again as it didn't quite live up to the hype.
