For all the different sizes of Undercrown that Drew Estate has made, it has never sold the cigar in what is probably the best selling vitola in America: a 6 x 50 toro.

That’s now changing with the addition of the Undercrown Toro Especial for both the original Undercrown Maduro and the Undercrown Shade lines. Of note, this cigar won’t be sold at most local shops, it’s an exclusive for the large catalog and internet retailers.

The Undercrown Maduro line uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Connecticut habano binder and fillers from Brazil and Nicaragua. Undercrown Shade is the Connecticut version, using an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Sumatran binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

Suggested pricing is set at $11.15 per cigar and it is sold in boxes of 10.
