New Nica Rustica “Shade” is Revealed on Drew Estate’s Freestyle Live Show
August 26, 2025 – Drew Estate is proud to unveil the latest chapter in our ongoing dedication to Estelí, the Nica Rustica “Shade.” Welcoming, balanced, and affordable Nica Rustica Shade is an exciting addition to our portfolio. Shade is the third brand expression, joining Broadleaf and Adobe – all affordably priced premium cigars.
From Sag Harbor New York Jonathan Drew, Founder and President of Drew Estate, says, “from the music-filled barrios of Estelí, Nicaragua to the beautiful, sunny, windswept mountains north, the geography and people of Nicaragua and the city we call home have always been at the forefront of the Nica Rustica brand. Today’s a great day to be Drew Estate.”
The Nica Rustica Shade is a mellow-to-medium bodied, traditional cigar that is perfect for even the most discerning cigar connoisseur who is also economy-conscious.
Nica Rustica Shade spotlights a luxurious, silky-smooth Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper overtop a Mexican binder leaf and an intricate, balanced blend of Nicaraguan, American and Dominican fillers. This five-country combination creates effortless depth and complexity – the full, layered flavor marries beautifully.
Nica Rustica Shade will launch to retailers worldwide on 08/26/2025.
