Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona Doble 7 * 50

Max says:

"Deadly nicotine kills what might have been)"

The Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate is the dream-come-to-life creation of three top-tier artisans from three very diverse fields who share an immense passion for cigars. James Hetfield, singer/songwriter/guitarist of the metal band Metallica, along with Rob Dietrich, master distiller and blender of Blackened Whiskey, and Johnathan Drew, cigar crafter and founder/president of Drew Estate, teamed up create this potent and flavor packed cigar. It took the trio two years to develop the blend, which they consider an expression of passion. The cigar is composed of a Mexican San Andres wrapper draped over a USA Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a filler composed of Nicaraguan and USA Pennsylvania leaves. This is one dark and flavorful cigar. As a nod to the band Metallica, the “M81” stands for Metallica and 1981, which is the year the band was formed. “Blackened” is the name of a song from the band’s “And Justice for All” album, which was released in 1988.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
Strength

Full
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican San Andres Maduro
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.
Binder
USA Connecticut Broadleaf
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
USA Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco is grown in the Connecticut River Valley area. The soil in this region is of glacial origins. The tobacco is dark, oily, flavorful, and aromatic. It is used primarily as a maduro wrapper, but it also serves as an excellent binder.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
USA Pennsylvania
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

Darryl F.04/17/2024About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

Excellent full bodied cigar with notes of pepper and spice.

Sam Y.04/16/2024About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona 5" * 43

It is a peppery, spicy smoke. But knowing that, it delivers a pleasant experience. It's strong, but not harsh. Burn is uneven and the aroma is peppery. Better than I expected.

Michael L.04/08/2024About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

Disappointing. Can't believe this was a CA 2024 top 10 cigar. This was a pepper bomb with a tight draw and uneven burn. This is my last purchase of a Free Estates cigar. I've tried several over the years and none have been better than mediocre.

Eric D.04/06/2024About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

This cigar took me by surprise. Being Metallica is my favorite band of all time, and I love Maduros, I was a little hesitant. I thought maybe it was a gimmick, but I was pleasantly wrong. The flavor on this is outstanding, and so is the aroma. The burn was a little weird at first, but after a second or third relight touch up, it burned really nice. The draw was medium and a touch tight, but it did not seem to inhibit the cigar very much. Delicious flavors of chocolate, mild coffee, roasted nuts, and some earth. Will definitely be buying more. Worth the price.

arash s.03/21/2024About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

Thought it was a good stick definitely would buy again

Matthew L.12/31/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

There’s better cigars for the money.

shawn p.12/19/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

Great maduro price could be better considering this is a single fermented stick. Black pepper assaults you from light up and calms down a little from that but it’s present. The San andres wrapper steals the show with its rich oily aroma and flavor.

erik h.12/18/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

This is a very flavorful cigar. I believe its considered a triple maduro. I have had more than a few sticks. They seem tobe consistent. They are wrapped tight but draw ok. The burn is consisant as well. A little to strong for me

Ranjan S.12/18/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

I really, really wanted this to be one of my go-to's, but I got very little out of it. I'm going to leave it for a while, and go back to it sometime next year.

Angel M.12/14/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

First thought was, "I love Metallica but this is a money grab/gimmick ala KISS. Was I wrong. This is a real maduro; strong like the riffs Papa Het plays. I will buy a box in the future for sure

Larry W.12/13/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

Josh S.11/13/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

One if my favorites right now. Another win for Drew Estates.

Andrew G.11/12/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona 5" * 43

Not a bad little stick for the price. It's true to It's description of having notes of coffee, earth and spice. It doesn't start out too spicy but that builds as you make your way through the smoke. Not very complex but I'm glad I tried it.

John W.11/10/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

not as good as hoped

Ozzie H.11/07/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

Gerald F.09/29/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

minor burn issues; a bit harsh in the last third of the cigar

Ivon09/22/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

It's a good cigar. Bold and a little too aggressive in strength. Definitely consistent with the brand. Goes well with burbon, wouldn't recommend to a new smoker.

Robert R.09/14/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

Jason T.08/21/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

A little stronger than I usually like, but I enjoyed it.

Max G.08/18/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona Doble 7" * 50

I have spent almost 2 hours to enjoy (?) this cigar. Not a single note of sweetnes. Strong, earthly, pepper. Good experience. Good (not great) draw. Heavy AF. Deadly nicotine kills what might have been) I guess i need to try smaller formats.

Craig B.08/06/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

Didn't care for this. Didn't like the taste and had burn issues.

Hella smooth.......

Wix Strimple 08/01/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

Bought 3. Aging 1. Going to smoke my last one with my sons on our Friday night smoke call. We smoke every Friday night and the same cigar. Tell what we are tasting and always we all pair with something different. Anyway, the 1 I have smoked was good. Not great but ok. Didn't dry box. But I will on Friday night. Expected better but maybe doing it the correct way, lol, might be different. No bad way to smoke a gar but the experience of my time with my bird's is always great. Good burn and ash and draw. Not a lot of flavor but smooth.

Aaron R.07/23/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona 5" * 43

I was surprised at how much I liked this cigar. Looks good and burned well too. A bit of pepper in the first third but mellowed out as it got into the second third. Draw was a bit tight but nothing too bad. I would consider a box of this one rather than just a onesy, twosy type of thing.

Robert L.07/19/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona 5" * 43

I love this cigar! I can't wait to try other sizes of the blend. It's full flavored and packs a punch but what else would you expect from a Hetfield collaboration!

Jeremy C.07/18/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

One of my favorites. Packed tight, great burn, long lasting, tastes great . Developing flavors. All around $10 powerhouse

Leo V.07/06/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona 5" * 43

Great small cigar. A big Metallica fan, so had to try it. The cigar burns well with a few spice notes. Definitely a spicy note at various times during the smoke. Definitely would purchase again. Paired well with whiskey.

Jeremy C.07/05/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona Doble 7" * 50

James V.06/07/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona 5" * 43

Great smoke, draw was tight and the burn was a little off. Taste and aroma were good. Biggers sizes of this cigar were more enjoyable.

Michael G.06/05/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona 5" * 43

Deep rich flavors, yet a creaminess on the back. Dark roasted coffee and earthiness came through the most. Would pair well with something rich and bitter sweet, raspberry cheesecake or the like.

Jeremy H.06/04/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona Doble 7" * 50

I did as Christian K suggested below only I opted for the Black album instead. Both cigar and whiskey delivered. This smoke lasted me a full two hours with an excellent draw full of black pepper, earth, leather and dark chocolate and coffee. The burn required the occasional touch up but a worthwhile experience overall.

Angel G.06/02/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

A potent smoke that delivers spicy, earthy, peppery, coffee and sweetness notes.

Ronald C.05/31/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona Doble 7" * 50

strong but subtle taste. Great construction.

Roy K.05/23/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

Roy K.05/23/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

I really enjoyed this smoke. Had a M81 corona but didn’t care for it. This was a good surprise, very flavorful.

Roy K.05/23/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona 5" * 43

Just didn’t care much for this smoke. It has a full flavor but not for me.

Nicholas C.05/22/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

Good and easy draw, even burn and smooth taste. Really enjoyed this smoke. It was a gift from a great friend. Best gift in quite some time.

Chris M.05/08/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

Great full flavored stick. I will definitely be buying more of these and they will be part of my “go to’s” on a regular basis.

Jay S.05/05/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

Some artist/celebrity endorsed stuff is garbage but not this. Definitely worthy of the name and a great cigar!

Edward C.05/03/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

This is a more serious cigar, more body, and while not being over powering, it does have that pleasant conversation with your palate. Medium plus, notes that ring true for the more experienced smoker who like to play in the close to heavy end without being overcome with any harshness. If you enjoy dabbling near the full spectrum this is a must.

Mario T.05/02/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona Doble 7" * 50

Excellent cigar and worth the wait. Excellent flavor, construction and draw. Very pleased with this new offering, plus, James Hetfield rules!

Mario T.05/02/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

Worth the wait! Very tasty stick with excellent construction, draw and burn. Earthy and spicy to start and mellows out into the 2nd half.

Jose A.05/02/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona 5" * 43

So! A heavy metal rock legend, a renowned whiskey distiller, and a premium cigar crafter walk into a bar and. This might sound like the start of an old joke, but trust me, the Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona is no joke. It is a potent smoke composed by James Hetfield of the metal band Metallica, Rob Dietrich of Blackened Whiskey, and Johnathan Drew of Drew Estate, three “rock stars” in their respective fields. The trio joined forces and created one kick-butt cigar. Named after Metallica’s song “Blackened,” this corona features a muscular, toothy Mexican San Andres wrapper, a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania filler. This is a dark cigar with a firm construction. Like a heart-pumping, hard rock song, the Blackened started off with a blast of spice underscored by a warm sweetness. The smoke was thick. It reminded me of a smokey dimly lit nightclub that books bands just before they make it big. Into the second set, the spice tapered down a bit, and the tobacco sweetness moved to the forefront. The retro hale was peppery, and the finish was long and tingly like a mesmerizing guitar solo. For the final set, deep earthy notes accompanied the sweetness and spice in a slow fade like the ending to a favorite rock ballad. Overall, this cigar is not a one-hit-wonder, and it should be part of your regular playlist. Pair it with a dark espresso, a dark ale, or a Blackened Whiskey.

Angel C.04/27/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona Doble 7" * 50

While a lifelong Metallica fan, I found this cigar to be very Liga Privada. Like Drew Estate's Ligas, the Mexican San Andres wrapper was the predominant, if not sole, flavor. A good cigar. On a Met Fan scale, it is better than a St. Anger, but no Master of Puppets.

A caveat, I have been looking forward to this cigar paired with the blackened whiskey. 10/10 for the burn, less strong than I had been expecting, but thoroughly loved the experience

A surprising smoke, although it shouldn’t be , Drew Estates does a great job and I mean it is Metallica

Jason K.01/30/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

An outstanding cigar. An absolute must if you enjoy smooth and strong.

Shane F.01/30/2023About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Toro 6" * 52

This is a great stick! From first light until the nub it was flavorful and the burn was fantastic. Starts off with s surprising sweetness then transforms into a deep and smooth cigar.

They did an awesome job with this cigar it’s a perfect match with a nice cold IPA or a glass of whiskey!

Let me disclose a potential bias here. I am a huge Metallica fan, and in general I like Drew Estate cigars. I am also relatively new into cigars. With that out of the way... In one word this cigar is balanced. It starts with no significant element being overpowering or very noticeable over others, quite smooth. It may feel a bit disappointing on the first draws for some. As it progresses, it reveal some nice salty cocoa flavors, quickly evolving to full body, spicey and dark roasted coffee notes. All very pronounced, but all well balanced. I usually smoke 3/4 of a cigar, but I made an exception for the M81. If you want the whole experience, pair it with their Blackened whiskey, put that old Metallica shirt and let "Orion" rip on the speakers.

this cigar reminds me of the duality of metal fans themselves: dark and somewhat complex, but not as dark and complex as they appear on the surface. This cigar balances mellow smoothness and complex darkness at the same time

Tim C.12/18/2022About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Robusto 5" * 50

I love this cigar, its is my new favorite. The toro sold out pretty quick so I bought x3 robusto and x2 corona. It was an awesome smoke right from the store, but I want to keep a couple in the humidor for a while. I really like them I would 100% buy a box if I could. Even though I didn’t want to get my hopes to high for this one but it definitely exceeded my expectations by far. Sorry I don’t know how to describe the cigar very well. I had this cigar with Glenlivet single malt 14 year cognac cask, neat

The label is the weakest part of this cigar, and it’s not that weak. This a bold smoke and you can tell Drew Estate put love into making this cigar for a great band. I like full body smokes and I will be buying this again.

Cedric Payne 12/05/2022About: Blackened M81 Cigars by Drew Estate Corona Doble 7" * 50

Great cigar, very well constructed and the taste is right on point
