My Uzi Weighs a Ton, 6-Cigar Sampler

My Uzi Weighs a Ton or MUWAT is a cigar blended by Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate and made at the Joya de Nicaragua factory with tobaccos from both factories. The UZI story began with a consumer blending session at the Joya de Nicaragua factory in late 2010. The blend proved to be rich and earthy, with a bright, sweet undertone.

  MUWAT (My Uzi Weighs a Ton)

  Drew Estate and Joya de Nicaragua have a very tight collaboration that has now given birth to a very unique cigar baptised Uzi. The cigar uses a San Andreas Negro Wrapper, Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade Binder and hearty Brazilian Mata Fina filler from DE, as well as Nicaraguan fillers provided by JDN. The result is a 60 ring gauge stick that is rich, earthy, bright and sweet.
• Cigar Section
  Round

  Most cigars are round in shape, as this is how the cigars are rolled by the torcedor.
• 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.

• Cigar 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.
• Cigar 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.
• Cigar Binder
  Ecuador

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Ecuador is the perfect place to grow binders, because it is located on the Equator and it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type binders to many cigar factory in the world.
• Cigar Filler
  Brazil Mata Fina

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
  Brazil produces rich, medium to strong, dark tobaccos with a sweet taste and aroma. Most of the cigar production is concentrated on the eastern coast of Brazil, in the state of Bahia. Mata Fina tobacco is grown in a region in the Reconcavo Basin of the State of Bahia called Mata Fina (which translated means "thin plants"). Tobacco was one of the natural crops in the region.
