Drew Estate Cigars Undercrown Shade Belicoso
- Size: 6 x 52
- Strength: Medium
Drew Estate will be launching a new line extension to their Undercrown line – “Undercrown Shade”, a Connecticut Shade- wrapped cigar brand that will join the original San Andres-wrapped line.
“Undercrown Shade” marks the first release blended by Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera not to fall under the Herrera Estelí brand family. Herrera’s continued involvement in blending and brand development within Drew Estate is evident with this new blend, as Herrera worked extensively with the Undercrown roller team who blended the original Undercrown line to develop this new Connecticut blend.
Featuring an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Sumatran binder, as well as Dominican Criollo 98 and Nicaraguan Criollo & Corojo fillers, the new “Undercrown Shade” line will be presented in six vitolas, mirroring the San Andres-wrapped Undercrown core line that you’ve come to love.
The final blend is medium-bodied, lush & ultra-smooth, flavors that only a shade grown wrapper can deliver. And so it is with great bravado that we share “Undercrown Shade”, and the continuing story from our factory floor.

I purchased boxes of all three Undercrown varieties. Pretty great value for what you pay. Unfortunately the shades came with a number of cracked caps. Lesson learned; I probably should have chosen express shipping, but also I feel more boveda should have been packed in. In the end I have cigar glue and was able to fix them just fine.
Regarding the cigar, the shade is much lighter but has very good flavours.
