BLACKENED® by Drew Estate Ignites Fan Frenzy with New Limited Lancero Sizes for M81 & S84
A sleek 7 × 40 format elevates both blends—precision, complexity, and full-throttle flavor in elegant 15-count boxes.
Drew Estate is lighting up the stage once again with its BLACKENED® by Drew Estate line, delivering an encore tailor-made for hardcore cigar heads and serious collectors.
Introducing the first-ever Lancero size for both the BLACKENED M81 and BLACKENED S84: a refined 7 × 40 vitola crafted for those who crave precision, complexity, and a concentrated flavor experience. Each expression is limited in production and presented in elegant 15-count boxes—an instant collectible whether you favor the M81’s bold Maduro-on-Maduro-on-Maduro profile or the S84’s refined yet electrifying Connecticut Shade character.
— Jonathan Drew, Founder & President, Drew Estate
Originally created in collaboration with Metallica’s James Hetfield, BLACKENED’s Master Distiller Rob Dietrich, and Drew Estate, BLACKENED has become a sensation among cigar lovers and metalheads alike. The M81 features a triple-Maduro architecture—Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Maduro binder, and Maduro long-fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania—for a dark, earthy powerhouse. Meanwhile, the S84 pairs an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper with a rich mix of Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania filler tobaccos for a bright, complex profile with plenty of attitude.
