The cigars, which come in a 7 x 48 box-pressed Churchill vitola, were rolled in 2016 using the same molds from the initial production of the Herrera Estelí Norteño Edición Limitada, which was released in 2015. This latest batch has been resting in the company’s aging rooms for the two years following their rolling.

As for the blend, it uses a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper, Honduran binder and fillers from the Estelí and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua, though the blend has been slightly modified to best suit the vitola.

“The Norteño Edicion Limitada continues to be one of my favorite projects at Drew Estate,” said Willy Herrera in a press release. “This cigar showcases the complexity in the blending process, requiring tweaks of the classic Norteño blend to really shine in the Churchill vitola.”

The cigar is priced at $217.96 for a box of 15 cigars, or approximately $14.53 per cigar. The Herrera Estelí Norteño blend debuted in 2015.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. I previously covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
