The medium-bodied, high-end Drew Estate Undercrown Shade cigar is renowned for its complex, silky, and creamy flavour. Master Blender Willy Herrera developed the Shade to provide a more subdued but still nuanced experience than the original potent Undercrown Maduro. The same people that created the original Undercrown contributed to its development.

Wrapper: It is this golden, smooth, shade-grown wrapper that gives the cigar its smooth, sophisticated flavour. 

Binder: Its delicate and savoury richness is enhanced by a Sumatran binder.

Filler: A balanced core is produced by combining long-filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.

Primary: Sweet cream, vanilla, cedar, and toasted almonds are the main flavours.

Secondary flavours: Traces of honey, caramel, and white pepper.

Strength: Despite being medium-bodied, it provides a smooth and luxurious taste that lets the blend's richness come through.
