Drew Estate Undercrown Shade

The Lighter Side of Undercrown

The Undercrown Shade is proof that mellow doesn’t mean boring. When Drew Estate’s master blender Willy Herrera challenged the factory rollers to create a Connecticut-wrapped blend that could hold its own against the bold Liga Privada 9, they delivered something special: a cigar that’s smooth, creamy, and full of personality.

Wrapped in a silky Ecuadoran Connecticut leaf, Undercrown Shade boasts a complex core of Dominican Criollo '98 and Nicaraguan Corojo & Criollo long-fillers, held together by a Sumatran binder. The result is mellow to medium-bodied, but with a richness and depth that even full-bodied cigar fans can appreciate. Expect notes of toast, nuts, sweet cream, and a hint of spice, rounded out by a long, honeyed finish.

This blend didn’t just impress fans—it earned a 91-rating, with reviewers calling it "bright and creamy... zesty with touches of lemon peel and dried orange" and highlighting its "very prominent note of honey on the palate."

Whether you're easing into the day or just want a refined, relaxing smoke, Undercrown Shade delivers smooth satisfaction every time.
