Herrera Esteli Norteno Cigars

4.55 · 204 reviews·More from Herrera Esteli →

Herrera Esteli Norteno is the long awaited release by Drew Estate with master blender Willy Herrera. A sequel of sorts to the popular Herrera Esteli cigar, which earned a spot in 2013's Top 25 Cigars of the Year, the Norteno is a dark, spicy cigar made with a Mexican San Andres wrapper. The band design features the Guardabarranco, the national bird of Nicaragua, the country where the cigar is produced. Tobacco from Nicaragua also makes up the filler, with a Honduran binder. This earthy, peppery, sweet offering by Drew Estate burns and draws perfectly, offering medium to full body and strength.

Since its founding in 1996, Drew Estate has earned a reputation for producing some of the most celebrated cigars in the industry. With multiple 90+ ratings and appearances on “Top 25” lists, their blends are recognized for bold flavor, expert construction, and innovative use of tobaccos. While Esteli, Nicaragua, is the heart of Drew Estate's blends, they've used tobacco from all over, including their legendary Broadleaf on the Liga Privada lines, which is exclusively sourced from several small high-quality farms in the US. This five-cigar sampler showcases that award-winning range, giving smokers a taste of the quality and creativity that define Drew Estate.

In 2021, the year we discovered a 5-foot, 330 pound penguin fossil, Neptune’s knowledgeable staff selected cigars for review based on curiosity, personal taste, and a range of other reasons. This sampler gathers five of those staff picks, offering a chance to experience cigars through the same lens our team used that year.

This sampler celebrates the bold character of Mexican San Andrés wrappers, tobacco cultivated for centuries in the fertile San Andrés Valley. Known for its thick, resilient leaf and long fermentation process, San Andrés delivers a naturally sweet, earthy depth. Expect notes of dark chocolate, espresso, pepper, and rich spice layered with a lingering sweetness. The volcanic soil and humid climate of Mexico give this wrapper its signature intensity, making it a favorite for full-bodied, complex cigars.

Just a good smoke and great draw but the burn is a little off but really doesn't due to taste...

Pat G · Toro Especial · Thu Mar 12

Another great stick from Willie Herrera. Strong and peppery but not overbearing. Fills your palate with all kinds of notes

Rob · Lonsdale · Sun Mar 01

Real nice except the taste and towards the end, too strong for my weak self

Chris Vargas · Robusto Grande · Wed Jan 14

Full-bodied, smooth pepper, coffee, and cocoa flavors — great draw, enjoyable but occasionally uneven.”

Sam Yakou · Toro Especial · Tue Dec 16

Really good cigar. Lots of pepper to start, then it fades away by the end of the 2nd third. Cocoa, coffee, pepper but very smooth.

K Hopkins · Toro Especial · Fri Oct 10

I really enjoy this cigar.

Patrick Hern · Robusto Grande · Sun Sep 21

Slow burner. It's a good two hour smoke. I did taste espresso and it a bit peppery.

Michael Chiaravalle · Robusto Grande · Wed Jul 02

This is a go to for me. I smoke this one regularly. Its coffee and subtle sweet flavors make it an enjoyable experience. It starts medium but by the end its fairly strong. It burns perfect and never gets bitter.

Eric Duczkowski · Toro Especial · Sat Jun 21

Started off great. Midway, very flat and bland. Flavor picked back up last third.
