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.'”

Great cigar and awesome flavor. The draw was spot on and loved the smoke output. The wrapper was gorgeous and love the band. Great flavor from light up. Got a lot of earthy notes throughout the smoke. Some notes of cedar in the 2nd third. Had to touch up once but not a huge deal. Will definitely keep these in the humidor. Another great stick from drew estate!

I liked this cigar a lot, it was smooth and not too punchy at all, or what u would expect with dark cigar like this. Smoking time was 1:41 min, I take my time when smoking and was in no rush. The retro hale was soft with hints of chocolate and some floral notes is what I tasted. I used a V cut on this stick, oh by the way, the smoke out put was crazy. Clouds and clouds. What u would expect from a Drew Esates cigar for sure.. I’m glad I got a 5 pack cause I’ll be enjoying this again.

Really good stick but it whipped my butt the first time I tried it. I plan to give it another smoke once I get used to more of the darker/full bodied cigars.

This Brazilian Maduro was interesting for me. The first few I had shortly after I received them. Found them to be ok. I let the last few age in the humidor a few months. Oh boy…that made a difference. They were fantastic after that.

Coffee, earth, and spice. Tons of smoke. Tons of flavor. Full bodied with medium strength. Couldn’t find anything wrong with this one.

This has become my go to full-body stick when I can’t get an EPC Pledge or Liga Privada. Great flavor and great draw (like all Drew Estate sticks). Must-have in the humidor.
