Drew Estate Undercrown Sun Grown Gordito

92 points, Cigar Aficionado

The Drew Estate Undercrown Sun Grown Gordito is an exceptionally luxurious, large-gauge vitola engineered to showcase the complex, sun-ripened character of this celebrated blend in its coolest-burning and most aromatic format. By expanding the ring gauge to a commanding 60, this stocky Gordito allows the rich, powerful tobaccos to burn slowly, releasing a voluminous, velvet-soft stream of smoke that thoroughly coats the palate with exquisite depth.

The structural and tobacco specifications of this exact vitola are designed to ensure an incredibly smooth, slow, and perfectly even burn. Cloaked in an oil-rich Ecuadorian Sumatra Sun Grown wrapper, the cigar is bound with a robust Connecticut River Valley stalk-cut Habano leaf and packed with a complex filler blend of aged Nicaraguan tobaccos, including a portion of rare, highly potent Nueva Segovia ligero. This classic 6-inch by 60 ring gauge format guarantees a highly consistent, cool-burning delivery of bold, nuanced flavours from the first light to the final draw.
