Named after Drew Estate’s Master Blender Willy Herrera, the Herrera Estelí Maduro is an expression of the Brazilian Mata Fina tobacco’s floral beauty and earthiness. The Herrera Estelí Brazilian Maduro features a dark, bold Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper which surrounds a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a Nicaraguan filler. Hand crafted in Nicaragua, the Herrera Estelí Brazilian Maduro is a full-strength cigar that is a true testament of what a master blender can do.
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
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
Brazilian Mata Fina
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Hailing from the Reconcavo Basin region of Bahia, Brazilian Mata Fina, or 'thin forest', is some of the more popular Brazilian tobacco used. This stalk-cut sun-grown leaf is dark, medium-bodied in strength, and contains a smooth, earthy profile perfect for maduro or oscuro wrappers.
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.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
Drew Estate

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.
