Drew Estate, during it's Freestyle Live event last night, announced a new version of its Undercrown line to celebrate 10 years since the launch of the original: Undercrown 10. This was also the mystery cigar included in the Freestyle Live Event Packs. Undercrown 10 is joining the existing lines of Maduro, Shade and Sun Grown.
The blend for Undercrown 10 starts with a Mexican San Andres wrapper, Connecticut Broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan fillers. It will come in four regular production sizes: Toro (6 x 52) $12, Robusto (5 x 50) $11.75, Corona Viva (5 x 43) $10.50, and Corona Doble (7 x 50) $13.50. All come in boxes of 20. There will also be a limited-edition “Factory Floor Edition” which is a 6 x 46 $13.60 lonsdale . This also comes with 20 cigars, but in addition will include a “tobacco leaf library,” meaning a sample of each individual leaf comprising the blend. Lastly, there will be an event only size, the Undercrown 10 Tuani Belicoso (6 x 52). This will only be available at event hosted by Pedro Gomez and will comes in boxes of 2 similar to the Liga Privada “A” and Undercrown Manifesto.
“Undercrown 10 offers smokers an experience of Mexican hot chocolate … naturally sweet with hints of raisin and cacao … waves of intense black pepper … along with notes of sun-dried cherries, espresso, woodiness and earthiness.”
La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate Factory Spokesman, Pedro Gomez
Undercrown is a noble prince of a brand, both humble and loyal, who is now to become a king. The new UC10 expression represents its super-premium platform, sealing the brand's destiny … as the good king whose brand promise is gratitude for our talented team at La Gran Fabrica. The new UC10 is so incredibly important to Drew Estate that we gave it two slogans, ‘A Decade of Dedication' and ‘All Dekked Out.' Add those two slogans to ‘Born on the Factory Floor,' and the Shakespeare really unfolds.
Jonathan Drew, Drew Estate's Founder and President
The regular production Undercrown 10's will ship at the beginning of May. Undercrown 10 Factory Floor Edition will debut in July.
