Drew Estate Undercrown Sun Grown Belicoso

93 points, Cigar Aficionado

The Drew Estate Liga Undercrown Sun Grown Belicoso is an exceptional choice for the aficionado who seeks a more directed and intense flavour profile. The $6″\times 52$ Belicoso format features a meticulously crafted tapered head, which serves to focus the smoke and amplify the blend's complex Medium-Full character. Its standout feature is the Ecuadorian Sumatra Sun Grown wrapper, a leaf sought after for its oily texture and piquant spice.

Complementing the wrapper is a Stalk-Cut Habano binder and a core of aged Nicaraguan Ligero, providing a deep and rewarding body. You will experience a vibrant start of cracked pepper, which gradually yields to more refined layers of oak, rich earth, and a balanced honeyed sweetness. The Belicoso is a brilliant example of Drew Estate’s blending prowess, offering a cool-burning yet punchy session for the discerning palate.
