Undercrown has always been a blend for the people, by the people – you know the story, developed right on the Drew factory floor by the folks who make them. Then came the Shade, an Undercrown that had been tamed by the softer nuances of a Connecticut wrapper. Now we’ve landed Undercrown El Tigre Dominicano – and while this move toward Dominican tobaccos (and a factory in the DR) is a bold new direction for Drew Estate, it’s given us an Undercrown we always wanted: the Drew that everyone can love!
At the heart of El Tigre is a striking combo of Dominican HVA and C-98 leaves; those are clad in a Connecticut Corojo H99 Hybrid binder and finished in an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. The tobaccos were selected specifically for their balance, aroma, and expressive base of flavors; each cigar is softly box-pressed to allow a slower, cooler smoking experience.
But those flavors: layers of subtle spice, natural sweetness, white pepper, earth, and espresso. Even Jonathan Drew can’t put El Tigre down: “Seriously, the El Tigre blend brings Undercrown to a whole new level. It’s a cigar that’s now in my personal daily rotation. Everyone at the office can’t stop smoking them.”
Get Undercrown El Tigre in four sizes of Dominican fury – each posts up confidently in the medium-to-full range, but without becoming overpowering. Again, the Undercrown that everyone can love. Order today at Famous Cigars!
