DREW ESTATE UNDERCROWN SHADE

Wrapper – Ecuadorian Connecticut
Binder – Sumatran
Filler – Dominican and Nicaraguan

The sophomore release of Undercrown, Shade, is a significant shift away from the dark, bold maduro cover-leaf of the original Undercrown to the more mellow, yet equally expressive flavor of the Connecticut Shade varietal. Drew Estate’s master blender, Willy Herrera brought back the original blending team and challenged them to see if they could do it again, and they did not disappoint! Featuring a regal Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, a luscious Sumatran binder, and a filler blend of Dominican Criollo ’98, Nicaraguan Criollo98, and Corojo ’99 tobaccos, Undercrown Shade is medium bodied and presents ultra-smooth flavors that only Connecticut Shade wrapper tobaccos can deliver. Off ering notes of cream with lush hints of vanilla, caramel, and pepper. Undercrown Shade strikes the ultimate balance between Nicaraguan tobacco’s earthiness and the silky smooth flavor of Connecticut Shade.
