Undercrown Shade Perfecto Planned for Father’s Day

There will be a new size of the Undercrown Shade line, with a planned release in June, around Father’s Day.

That vitola is a perfecto, though Drew Estate is declining to talk details about the dimensions, size, price or how it will be released. The company showed off the cigar in a social media and confirmed its planned release to halfwheel.

Undercrown Shade debuted in 2015 using an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Sumatran binder and Dominican criollo 98 and Nicaraguan corojo and criollo fillers. This will be the 11th size for the line.
