Nica Rustica

Shade

Drew Estate has introduced the Nica Rustica Shade, the newest release in its Nica Rustica portfolio produced at La Gran Fabrica in Nicaragua. This marks the third entry in the series, following the Broadleaf and Adobe lines, and it brings a shade-grown Connecticut into the mix. Originally revealed in Drew Estate’s Freestyle collection as an unbanded cigar, this series continues the line’s focus on affordability and wide appeal. Like the rest of the series, Shade pays tribute to Esteli, drawing inspiration from its vibrant barrios and surrounding highlands that have shaped Nicaragua’s cigar heritage. With the brand’s signature quality and approachable price point, it can be the perfect addition to your store. Order at wholesale from Santa Clara Cigars. Brand and Line Background The Nica Rustica project has always been about representing Esteli. Drew Estate aimed to capture that with the release of the Broadleaf and Adobe lines, which both launched to commercial success. Now the Shade rounds out this incredible trilogy with a cigar that was already gaining an immense amount of buzz. Early adopters already got a taste of it when it launched as an unbanded cigar in Drew Estate’s Freestyle collection. Those mystery sticks had customers begging for more. Drew Estate’s decades long journey from New York’s industrial DUMBO headquarters to Nicaragua’s premier tobacco region is present in every aspect of this production. That history shows up in this line. Wrappers than burn evenly, blends that deliver more depth than their price suggests, and a smoke that feels authentically unique are all staples of this Drew Estate cigar. Nica Rustica Shade Blend Details Master blender Willy Herrera’s blending expertise shines through this five-nation tobacco marriage. Mellow to medium in strength, the Nica Rustica Shade features a creamy buttery core. Hints of wood complement the earthy richness that develops from the very first draw. The foundation starts with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper cultivated under shade cloth, developing a signature golden-brown appearance. The Mexican binder hugs the Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Pennsylvanian fillers. This international collaboration creates a smoking experience that transcends its modest price point. One that your regular Drew Estate fanatics, and newcomers, will love. Nica Rustica Shade Sizes and Packaging The Nica Rustica Shade line comes in three sizes to cover key buyer preferences. These include the compact Short Robusto 4.5x50, the standard Toro 6x50, and the big Gordo 6x60. Each cigar is packed in cohesive boxes of 25.
