This past week, Drew Estate unveiled a brand new cigar during its latest Freestyle Live virtual event. The new Nica Rustica Adobe is the second expression in Drew Estate’s value-priced Nica Rustica line.
“Nica Rustica Adobe is a proud and no-nonsense cigar that represents our strong bond between La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate and its beautiful Nicaraguan home, where the mountains meet the sun,” commented Jonathan Drew, founder and president of Drew Estate. “We are united as one with the proud Estelíanos who work in and run our factory … and who bring the Drew Estate story to life every day around the world. From our house to your humidor, Nica Rustica Adobe is an audacious Habano experience that everyone at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate is excited for you to try.”
Nica Rustica is Drew Estate’s homage and tribute to Estelí, Nicaragua, which is home to La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate. The soul of the lively romantic barrios of Estelí, adorned with their colorful colonial houses, magically comes to life in Nica Rustica Adobe, which will be available in three sizes: Toro (6 x 52), Robusto (5 x 54) and Gordo (6 x 60). While retaining many of the same characteristics as the Connecticut Broadleaf version of this cigar, the new Nica Rustica Adobe is a spicier version that uses a Habano wrapper, Brazilian binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa. Unpolished and unrefined, Nica Rustica Adobe is a medium- to full-bodied cigar that offers load of spice with a bold and very long finish … the perfect companion for adventurous cigar buffs.
Nica Rustica Adobe will be available in 25-count boxes that feature colorful original artwork designed by Subculture Studio’s Richard “Dog” Diaz. The artwork captures the rugged, robust and rustic essence of Estelí, Drew Estate states in its press release. The cigar will range in price from $5.76 to $6.48 per cigar, or $143.93 to $161.93 per box.
“Diaz’s romantic vision of Estelí also incorporates the city’s official symbol and proud emblem, El Brujito, a petroglyph of a native shaman carved some 6,000 years ago onto a rock on a mountain near Estelí,” the company shared.
While the cigar will be available at Drew Estate’s Barn Smoker event and at a two-day event at The Humidour Cigar Shoppe this May, the Nica Rustica Adobe will be available for regular distribution to all retailers beginning in August 2022.
