Drew Estate: Blackened M81 Robusto Cigars

The Blackened M81 cigar merges the creative visions of Jonathan Drew, founder and president of Drew Estate Cigars; Rob Dietrich, master distiller and blender of Blackened American Whiskey; and James Hetfield, co-founder, singer, and guitarist of Metallica. The trio were connected through mutual friendships and bonded over their shared love for cigars, and the Blackened M81 fulfills their collaborative efforts for an ever-unique cigar: an all-Maduro blend. Entirely composed of dark Maduro leaf, the Blackened M81 features a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania — including Drew Estate's boldest Pennsylvania Broadleaf Ligero. The resulting flavor profile is one that delights with rich, dark notes of espresso, leather, and dark chocolate.
