Drew Estate has released a new edition for 2017, adding to their highly successful Liga Undercrown line. The Undercrown Sun Grown expands the series with a natural reddish brown Ecuadorian Sumatra Sun Grown wrapper. The Ecuadorian Sumatra Sun Grown wrapper is paired with a Connecticut River Valley Stalk Cut/Cured Sun Grown Habano binder, and the cigar is finished with a core of Nicaraguan long fillers, including a specially aged Ligero from Nueva Segovia. The cigars are, of course, made at the La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate factory in Nicaragua.
As a result of the use of an Ecuadorian Sumatra sun-grown wrapper and the heavier hand of the Ligero tobacco in the filler, the result is a more pronounced spice and a little less sweetness than the Liga Undercrown Maduro. This new lineup is the perfect blend that the Undercrown family was missing: a spicy robust flavor profile.
