Blackened S84 Shade to Black by Drew Estate Corona Doble (7x50 / Box 20)

BLACKENED S84 Shade to Black by Drew Estate offers a distinctive follow-up to the original BLACKENED M81, presenting a more approachable interpretation of the collaboration between Drew Estate, James Hetfield, and Rob Dietrich. While M81 emphasizes dark Maduro and Broadleaf character, Shade to Black introduces an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper to create a contrasting expression of the BLACKENED concept.

Beneath the golden-hued wrapper is a robust tobacco core featuring Connecticut Broadleaf, Pennsylvania Broadleaf, and Nicaraguan Maduro tobaccos. The Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper complements these darker tobaccos with creamy and subtly sweet characteristics, while the Broadleaf and Maduro components contribute additional richness, earthiness, and depth.

The resulting profile balances creamy, woody, earthy, and naturally sweet nuances with touches of pepper and spice. Although generally more approachable in character than the original M81, Shade to Black retains the depth and tobacco presence associated with the BLACKENED portfolio. Individual flavor, aroma, and strength perceptions may vary.

For adult cigar enthusiasts interested in the BLACKENED series but looking for a different expression of its bold tobacco foundation, BLACKENED S84 Shade to Black offers an intriguing combination of Connecticut Shade smoothness and the richer character of Broadleaf and Maduro tobaccos.
