Drew Estates Bringing Back Sizes

Drew Estate is bringing back the Herrera Esteli Habano and Herrera Esteli Connecticut Broadleaf Tienda in lancero sizes as the limited edition for the summer.

Both cigars come in a 7×38 size and only four roller-buncher teams made all the cigars. They have to be very skilled to roll such a skinny cigar.

Made in Nicaragua at the La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate factory, the skinny smokes measure 7 inches by 38 ring gauge. Due to the difficulty of rolling of such a thin size, only four roller-buncher teams in the entire factory are tasked with producing them.

“The Lancero is generally my favorite size,” says master blender Willy Herrera in a press release. “[It] allows the smoking characteristics of those beautiful leaves—especially their nuances—to truly grab your attention.”

The Herrera Esteli Habano Edicion Limitada Lancero consists of an Ecuador Habano wrapper, Honduran binder and Nicaraguan filler. The Connecticut Broadleaf Tienda Exclusiva Lancero is rolled with a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, Brazilian Mata Fina binder and Nicaraguan fillers. According to Drew Estate, the Habano Lancero is on the medium-bodied side, whereas the Broadleaf is a little stronger at medium to full.

The Broadleaf Lancero is expected to hit the market first in June, and the Habano will follow in August. Both come in boxes of 15 cigars. There are no plans to release these cigars outside the USA for now.
