Construction

Each Blackened Maduro Toro is hand-rolled by expert torcedores, ensuring top-tier craftsmanship from the wrapper’s oily sheen to the consistent draw throughout the cigar.

This attention to detail reflects Drew Estate’s commitment to quality, resulting in a cigar that both looks and performs at a premium level.

Pairing Suggestion

To highlight the robust flavors of the Blackened Maduro Toro, pair it with a pour of Blackened American Whiskey or another full-bodied bourbon or rye. The whiskey’s caramel and vanilla notes contrast with the cigar’s espresso and pepper elements, creating a harmonious sweet-and-spicy interplay. Alternatively, a rich imperial stout or a strong black coffee can also complement the cigar’s deep chocolate and earthy nuances, rounding out the overall tasting experience.
