Drew Estate Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro

Willy Hits the Jungle with a Masterpiece in Tow

When Willy Herrera made his debut at Drew Estate, he didn't just make a splash — he made waves. His first two releases under the Herrera Esteli name (the core line and Norteno) quickly became staples in humidors everywhere, even landing top spots in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25. So, what happens when a master blender takes his talents to Brazil? You get the Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro — a lush, rich, and flavorful addition that’s as exotic as it is refined.

This time around, Willy flips the script with a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper — typically used for binders or filler — now front and center. The result is a striking appearance and a profile teeming with floral tones, rich earth, and sweet maltiness. Beneath the surface lies a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and hearty Nicaraguan long-fillers, delivering complexity and balance from start to finish.

Medium to full-bodied, the Brazilian Maduro takes everything you love about the Herrera Esteli line and introduces an entirely new dimension of flavor. Deep notes of coffee bean, dried fruit, and a gentle spice on the finish round out a cigar that’s both bold and elegant.

Awarded a 92-point rating, it’s safe to say this Brazilian beauty stands tall in a lineup already stacked with winners. Grab a box and taste why Willy’s South American adventure was worth the trip.
