When Drew Estate launched the Liga Undercrown brand back in 2011 not only did it get a 91 rating, it was placed in the top 25 cigars of that year. Those of us that have enjoyed the coveted, super exclusive Liga Privada brand over the years looked twice! Not only is this cigar made in the image of Liga Privada, it uses some of its signature blends blends as well.
This Sungrown edition is another superb smoke that’s actually available available to us all in ample supply. While still a medium to full flavored masterpiece, it actually offers a unique sweetness to the experience. We highly recommend the amazing Flying Pig size when we have them. But if not, the 93 rated Belicoso will do just fine! Get your favorite whiskey, bourbon, beer or wine in hand and enjoy.

Believe it or not, La Vieja Habana was Drew Estate’s first brand! This great mixed filler value priced line is affordable to everyone!
Handmade from the quality leaf left over from the manufacture of Drew Estate’s premium cigar brands, the La Vieja Habana is an exceptional smoking value. This tripa mezclado cigar consistently delivers a great flavor with an excellent draw and burn.
This Connecticut edition mixed filler cigar has a blend of Nicaraguan Tobaccos from the Jalapa Valley and Estelí and covered by a pristine Connecticut shade wrapper.

Ambrosia by Drew Estate is another great infused hand made cigar from this iconic company.
Many smokers know the hugely successful Acid cigar line. After all, they are one of the company’s biggest sellers. The Ambrosia line is also infused but in a very focused way. The key word here is clove, and a lot of it. This is a totally unique, medium bodied slightly spicy cigar. And yes, the omnipresent aroma and taste of clove increases as you move along. It’s safe to say it’s an “acquired taste” at the very least.
However, if you’re a fan of Acid or any infused cigars and you like the stand alone taste of clove spices, Ambrosia should be in your humidor. After all, these Nicaraguan puros have been around and enjoyed by discerning smokers for over 20 years.

When the highly critical folks at Cigar Coop rated this complex cigar at 92, they said it best,”This cigar delivered excellent flavor and had a nice amount of complexity. I also found the medium to full strength and body of this cigar clicked with the flavors perfectly.” Combine this with Cigar Coop’s similar ranking describing it as follows,” Flavor triumphs complexity here, with big, bright, lively notes of citrus, cedar, buttered nuts, and pour-over coffee leading the charge.” And you have a winner for sure! No doubt that the soft box pressing provides an enhanced draw allowing everything this great cigar offers to envelope your palate totally.
If you haven’t tried the Camacho Ecuador Box Pressed, grab at least a five pack to taste the meaning of complexity for a truly enjoyable smoking experience.

You really are a connoisseur if you’ve searched for this amazing cigar!
As you cruise our site you’ll come upon many small batch brands. As many of these newcomers came and went, Caldwell rose above the herd. But you know this because you landed at this cigar! Yes, you read correctly. The fillers and binder tobaccos are a closely held secret. What you may not know is that there were only 500 boxes of these made.
Robert Caldwell describes his wonderful creation best, “This is one you have to smoke to appreciate. It is balanced, nuanced and subtle. Then out of nowhere, it sucker punches you in the chin. Packed with nicotine, Tsar will melt you into the chair. This is the go-to when you have time to kill and a table to put your feet on. ”
