Blackened by Drew Estate M81

When three trailblazers cross paths, you get something one-of-a-kind special. Blackened Cigars are special. The result of a powerhouse collaboration between Drew Estate,

Blackened American Whiskey, and James Hetfield of Metallica, Blackened Cigars aim to make each smoking experience an uncompromising immersion into the art of cigars. As intense, refined, and rewarding as the music and craftsmanship behind the brand.

Blackened M81 cigars are built around a dark, toothy Mexican San Andrés wrapper draped over a thick Connecticut Broadleaf binder leaf, packing a dense core of Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania long-fillers. This full-bodied blend delivers a commanding profile layered with earthy richness, cracked black pepper, some spices, and a surprising thread of natural honey sweetness that rounds out the finish. It’s bold without being brash - deep, complex, and balanced with unmistakable Drew Estate character.

Powerful, precise, and purpose-built for seasoned palates, this cigar earned an impressive 95-rating from Cigar Aficionado.
