Blackened S84 Shade by Drew Estate
The Blackened M81 Shade by Drew Estate is a masterful creation that blends rich flavor with a smooth, mellow experience. Inspired by the collaboration between Metallica’s James Hetfield and Drew Estate, this cigar offers a more refined and balanced smoking experience compared to its more robust counterpart, the Blackened M81 Maduro. The M81 Shade features a silky Connecticut Shade wrapper that envelops a core of premium Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos, creating a creamy and slightly sweet profile with subtle notes of cedar, cream, and a hint of spice. This cigar is ideal for those seeking a smoother, milder smoke without sacrificing depth of flavor, making it a perfect choice for both seasoned smokers and newcomers to the world of premium cigars. Whether enjoyed during a relaxing afternoon or paired with your favorite drink, the Blackened M81 Shade provides a satisfying, refined smoking experience.
Tasting notes:
Lightly Hued with a blond wrapper, even burn and open draw. It’s Broadly nutty with notes of almond, cashew and pecan sandies, while the finer points show honey, caramel and orange peel before a white wine finish.
