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.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

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.

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.
