Drew Estate Blackened S84 Shade to Black Cigars

It’s official: the Spring ’24 Freestyle reveal was the introduction of Blackened Cigars by Drew Estate S84 Shade to Black! Blended by Metallica’s James Hetfield, Rob Dietrich of Blackened Whiskey, and Jonathan Drew – this Connecticut Shade edition (the “S” in S84; 84 is the year Ride the Lightning came out) is the encore effort of the group’s working partnership, following the original Blackened M81 that came about in 2022. Sure, the change to Shade makes for something a bit more mellow – but with Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf Maduro binder and Nicaraguan Maduro and Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro filler leaves, Blackened S84 is still as bold and blustery as their blenders’ personalities. Even Willy Herrera says, “It just coats your palate, which is not typical for a Connecticut shade.” Get ready to Shade to Black: order today!
