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.

Soft notes of toasted bread and hazelnut fill the palate from the first sip and intensify as you savour the flavour. Hints of spice alternate with the creamy sweetness of a rich smokiness.

A little gem that will brighten up your morning coffee and get your day off to a good start.

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.

About Drew Estate

The story of Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel begins at secondary school. These two New York ‘frat bros’, who are passionate about Nicaragua and fine cigars, began their adventure in the cigar world by running a small kiosk in town.

Two years later, Jonathan moved to Estelí with just a few dollars in his pocket and a smattering of Spanish. He hired a few torcedors to roll the first cigars. Meanwhile, Samel continued to run the New York shop and borrowed money from anyone willing to believe in them.

It was a long and winding road until the opening in 2007 of La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, rolling over 90,000 cigars every day.
