Undercrown Shade Flying Pig
Undercrown Shade marks a new turning point in Drew Estate's development, as it is the first blend created by Willy Herrera upon joining the team in 2011.
After carefully selecting the leaves to be used for the wrapper from plantations in Ecuador, Willy found the perfect balance for the blend of this cigar, which he wanted to be perfect for breakfast (at least, that's what we thought). With a blend of tobaccos from Sumatra, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Sumatra, he has once again demonstrated the extent of his talent.
The result is a cigar that we would describe as light, with a smooth finish and aromas that will remind you of Sunday morning brunches.

The cigar anecdote
Before working for Drew Estate, Willy Herrera was a banker. It was through his in-laws that he gained his first experience in the cigar world, working for the El Titan de Bronze factory before catching the eye of Jonathan Drew.
