Undercrown was "born on the factory floor" at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua — the rollers were allowed to smoke anything in production and smoked so much Liga Privada No. 9 that the rare primings it requires could not keep up, so No. 9 was pulled from their list. The torcedores improvised an everyday blend of their own using different primings of the same tobaccos, and it impressed Drew Estate enough to go to market in 2011. The line is still known as the rollers' cigar, and Undercrown Maduro has become one of the company's defining regular-production blends.
A dark, sultry Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper over a Connecticut River Valley stalk-cut and stalk-cured Habano binder, with select Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Handmade at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua. Gordito format, 6 x 60. Box count: 25 cigars.
Medium-to-full-bodied, opening on dark cocoa and espresso alongside black pepper and earthy richness. The middle brings sweet molasses, roasted coffee, leather, oak and bittersweet chocolate, with baking spice and dark fruit underneath. It finishes long on cocoa, cedar and a natural sweetness.
Pair it with a barrel-proof bourbon, an aged rum, or a peaty Scotch to play off the cigar's bold cocoa and espresso notes.
Save it for an unhurried sitting — the 60 ring gauge lets the blend evolve gradually, revealing new layers of sweetness, spice and earthy richness across a long smoke.
