Cigar News: Drew Estate Brings Back Two Herrera Estelí Lanceros

announced today that two of their limited edition Herrera Estelí Lanceros would be returning in 2021: Herrera Estelí and the Herrera Estelí Broadleaf . These will now be exclusive to the Drew Diplomat Program. The Herrera Estelí Lanceros will officially debut during ‘s Freestyle Live: Special Edition, which airs on Thursday, May 6th, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern on ‘s Facebook Live page facebook.com/drewestatecigar.

Only four bunchero-rollera teams at are allowed to roll the vitola. Lanceros require more expertise than some other more common vitolas.

The size is the one vitola where you get to experience the real essence of a cigar’s blend and savor the truest taste of all of the cigar’s individual components. In larger sizes, where there is proportionally more binder and filler leaf in the blend, a wrapper’s flavor profile might be masked a little bit. A brings out the intensity of all the tobaccos’ flavor. I always prefer to smoke a when I can, and I wanted to make sure fans of Herrera Estelí could enjoy the same experience.

The Herrera Estelí blend uses an Ecuadorian wrapper, Honduran binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The Herrera Estelí Broadleaf uses a Broadleaf wrapper which is a special higher priming that reserves throughout the year exclusively for this cigar, a Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. Both cigars come in boxes of 15 and sell for $194.24. These will start shipping in August.

Lanceros are certainly not as popular as large ring gauge cigars, but they have a cult following amongst the most educated cigar geeks who love majestic capa leaf, what I call the ‘oro’ of the plant. Everyone knows that Willy blends spectacular Lanceros.
