Herrera Esteli Broadleaf

Jacob says:

"Perfect for a snowy day while cooking 10 lbs of meat in the garage!"

Herrera Esteli Broadleaf Lancero 7 * 38, Box of 15

The Herrera Esteli is handmade at the La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Nicaragua. It was initially a Tienda Exclusiva (store only) release before becoming the fifth line in the Herrera Esteli brand. The blend was created by Drew Estate’s master blender Willie Herrera. It uses higher priming broadleaf leaves that Drew Estate normally reserves for its limited-edition sticks. The Herrera Esteli Broadleaf is a full-bodied cigar that sports a USA Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper placed over a Brazilian Mata Fina binder and a Nicaraguan filler. This is a potent cigar with a rich complexity of flavors.

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
USA Connecticut Broadleaf
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Connecticut Broadleaf is grown in the United States' Connecticut Valley and is prized for its dark, oily, full flavored and aromatic characteristics. The plants are grown in full sun giving this cigar wrapper its characteristic sweetness. The Connecticut Broadleaf plant leaves are mainly processed as maduro tobacco. Today, Connecticut Broadleaf seeds are being grown in other countries besides the United States.
Binder
Brazil Mata Fina
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Brazil grows tobacco from North to South. The East Central State of Bahia is an important cigar tobacco producer. The growing area is about 100 miles west of the state capital, Salvador da Bahia, an active port on the Atlantic Coast. Mata Fina is considered Brazil's finest leaf and is grown in the Bahia region.
Filler
Nicaragua
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.
Manufacturer
Drew Estate
Drew Estate was founded in 1998 by New Yorkers and friends Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel. Their dream to make great cigars has turned into one of the best success stories in the industry, and their factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, called "La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate" is today one of the five largest premium cigar factories in the world.

All the herreras are good. This one might be the best. Full body, tasty. Very pleasing flavors.

Steven D.03/02/2023About: Herrera Esteli Broadleaf Lancero 7" * 38

Very VERY tasty smoke. Some minor wee issues with the burn but not something that'll put me off buying this again

I don’t smoke very many lanceros. This was spicy and refined.

Great smoke. Would recommend.

Rene L.08/06/2022About: Herrera Esteli Broadleaf Lancero 7" * 38

As someone who works at the retail level, it's impossible to ignore the recent resurgence in popularity of lanceros. Much like vinyl records are experiencing a come back, lanceros are also now hip again! This is great news, as I've always thought lanceros don't get enough love. I've decided to smoke the Herrera Esteli Broadleaf Lancero, as I have been a big fan of the other vitolas of this esteemed brand. This was my first experience with the Broadleaf Lancero, and to no surprise, I found it to be a flavor bomb from the very first puff. Alright, I know what you may be thinking... HOW IS THE DRAW?? That seems to be the cause of concern regarding lanceros, and I'll be honest, I have experienced some tight draws on some of them before. However, this Herrera Lancero had zero issue with the draw, and gave me a nice and open pull right off the bat, without having to wait for it to 'warm up' or 'loosen'. With a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper on top of a Brazilian Mata Fina binder, I expected this smoke to be full-bodied and tasty, and while tasty, I found the strength to be more of a strong medium (not a bad thing!) Notes of leather and cocoa dominated the experience, with a subtle hint of underlying spice. The construction was on-point, with no issues regarding burn or turning off, and the ash was bright white and strong. If you're looking to be part of the Cool Kid Club, pick up a lancero next time you're shopping for a new smoke, and if you want a quality stick, look no further than the Herrera Esteli Broadleaf Lancero. Pair with a porter or a stout for maximum impact! Enjoy.
