A modified version of Drew Estate’s Undercrown 10 blend will be heading to Smoke Inn as the South Florida retailer’s newest exclusive cigar.
The Undercrown 10 Ming is a 5 1/4 x 54 robusto extra that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Connecticut broadleaf binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania. This is the same basic description of the ingredients used for the regular Undercrown 10 blend with the addition of Pennsylvania tobacco in the filler. It’s called Ming as a nod to the nickname of Abe Dababneh, the founder of Smoke Inn.
Each cigar has an MSRP of $13.20 and the cigars are offered in cardboard soft boxes of 10. There are just 300 boxes available.
“Undercrown 10 was initially launched to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Undercrown brand,” said Jonathan Drew, co-founder and president of Drew Estate, in a press release. “The introduction of the Undercrown 10 Ming is a big fuckin deal in my very humble opinion. Undercrown 10 means everything to me, everything!! It’s about the first ‘Decade of Dedication’ that drove this historic brand. We gave this size to Abe because he’s put 100 percent of his heart and dedication into everything he’s accomplished. Full stop.”
It will go on sale on Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 6:00 p.m. EST via Smoke Inn’s website, with sales reserved for ticketholders of The Great Smoke, Smoke Inn’s annual multi-vendor, which takes place Feb. 24 in West Palm Beach, Fla.
