Drew Estate BOTL is an incredible boutique blend by this iconic company. FYI, BOTL stands for Brother of the Leaf and was originally made for the online community BOTL.org in 2012.
When this amazing medium to full bodied cigar came out in 2012 it was a huge hit. Then it disappeared! When it returned in 2019, it became a cult favorite. Here’s just a sampling of the industry wide accolades. Blind Man’s Puff @ 93. KATMAN @95. Cigar Journal @91. Stogie Review @91. BOTL is a testament to the genius of Master Blender Willie Herrera, HANDS DOWN!
The Lancero is a top pick!

This gently box-pressed Candela wrapped edition is an “out of the box” stick that deserves your attention. I can only think of two other grass colored cigars that I’ve enjoyed. This one is my favorite. Topped with a dark brown head cap, the undisclosed fillers and binder clearly produce a powerful combination of sweetness and spice resulting in a medium to full-bodied stick that gains strength and intensity as you move along. Buckle up!!

EP Carrillo Platinum Bash is one of latest creations from this great Maestro. Not to mention this cigar celebrates Ernesto’s 70th birthday.
The exclusive blend of Platinum Bash features a 4 country mix of Mexican, Honduran, Dominican, and Nicaraguan tobaccos. To say the least, this perfectly made vitola is a medium bodied, robust tasting and complexly flavorful smoking experience.
To sum up, EP Carrillo Platinum Bash only comes in a toro size, 6 inches long by 52 ring gauge, and production is limited to 500 boxes of 10 cigars. But don’t wait around! They won’t last forever.
