Blackened by Drew Estate M81 Maduro Flying Pig (4x60 / 4 Pack)

BLACKENED Cigars by Drew Estate brings together the creative perspectives of Jonathan Drew, James Hetfield, co-founder of Metallica, and Rob Dietrich, Master Distiller and Blender of BLACKENED American Whiskey, in a collaborative cigar project developed for adult cigar enthusiasts who appreciate bold, tobacco-forward blends.

According to the brand’s story, the blend was developed over an extended period, with Hetfield and Dietrich participating in the evaluation of numerous samples and providing feedback throughout the process. The result is a Maduro-focused cigar designed to showcase the darker, richer characteristics of several distinctive tobaccos.

The blend features a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over a Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf Maduro binder, surrounding a combination of Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro filler tobaccos. The composition includes higher-priming tobaccos selected to contribute additional intensity and depth to the overall profile.

Expect a bold, full-flavored character with tasting notes reminiscent of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, earth, black pepper, and natural tobacco sweetness. The combination of Maduro and Broadleaf tobaccos provides layers of richness and complexity as the cigar develops. Individual flavor, aroma, and strength perceptions may vary.

For adult cigar enthusiasts drawn to fuller-bodied blends, BLACKENED Cigars by Drew Estate offers a distinctive collaboration that combines Drew Estate’s cigar-making expertise with the creative input of Hetfield and Dietrich in a rich, Maduro-forward expression.
