From the website of Drew Estate, “The Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro features a dense Plantation Grown Mata Fina wrapper, over a Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf binder with fillers from Nicaragua. Manufactured at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, the Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro was blended by Willy Herrera...
From Little Havana, Willy Herrera, Master Blender of Drew Estate, ‘The Herrera Brazilian Maduro is my expression of the floral and earthy Brazilian Mata Fina tobacco. We use it typically as a binder or accent tobacco in the filler but I wanted to showcase its dynamic and unique texture.'”

Excellent stick! The smoke pours out very similarly to the Liga no 9. Great rich flavors and excellently constructed. Would definitely recommend this stick!

Great stick… real great depth of flavor. Loved the smoke output and the burn was great on it. Loved the Brazil from light up. Will definitely be keeping these in humidor

Flawless burn and draw. Loads of robust flavor. Contrasts well with coffee & cream.

Amazing taste considering the price point – and in Australia, that is always pretty damn high due to the taxman – and pairs very well with black tea, honey and cream

Tonight, I smoked the Herrera Esteli by Drew Estate, and here’s my take on it. After a cut and a light. It has a loose draw. Reduced smoke output. It’s has a spicy retrohale. Sweet pecan. Leather. Soft flavor profile. Wavy burn line. An after taste of a light cinnamon. It’s earthy. Somewhat woodsy. A few tunnels I had to correct. Very leathery retro in the second third. There’s a soft creaminess to it. A dark tobacco flavor. The cigar is slightly spongy. A slight bitterness from the wrapper. I’m scoring it with 88 points.

Wasn’t a fan of this one at all. I didnt get any wrapper sweetness and it just tasted like dirt. Didn’t even make it through the 2/3 before I threw it out.
