The collaboration began with Hetfield and Dietrich, who frequently enjoy cigars together.<\/p>\n<p>Having been friends for well over a decade, Dietrich and Drew always wanted to combine their talents to collaborate on something special, and this seemed to be the perfect opportunity. Samples from the Drew Estate portfolio were sent to Hetfield and Dietrich who kept cigar journals to critique the cigars and identify what they liked and disliked about each one. After two years of enjoying and sampling cigars together, the group decided on the exact flavor profile that would become BLACKENED Cigars \u201cM81\u201d by Drew Estate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a project that was purely born from passion \u2026for music, for fellowship, for life, and all the in-between moments within,\u201d says Dietrich. \u201cJames, Jonathan and I worked together to create what we feel like is the perfect cigar. The result is truly a monster of flavor\u2014all-maduro, designed with definitive depth for darker and bolder palates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BLACKENED Cigars \u201cM81\u201d by Drew Estate presents a journey through different Maduro leaves, starting with a thick and oily Maduro wrapper that\u2019s grown in the volcanic soil of Mexico\u2019s San Andres Valley. The blend includes a thick and meaty Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf Maduro binder and a filler blend of Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro tobaccos, including Pennsylvania Broadleaf ligero in Drew Estate\u2019s vast tobacco inventory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Presented in copper-accented black 20-count boxes, BLACKENED Cigars \u201cM81\u201d by Drew Estate debuts in four sizes: Robusto (5 x 50), Toro (6 x 52), Corona Doble (7 x 50), and Corona (5 x 43).
