Welcome Undercrown El Tigre Dominicano – A Distinctly Dominican Undercrown
This year at the 2026 PCA Trade Show, Drew Estate welcomed the all-new Undercrown El Tigre – a distinctly Dominican Undercrown.
Since its birth on the factory floor, Undercrown has always represented the spirit of the Underdog. This newest extension to the Undercrown line sees this familiar Underdog spirit extend past Nicaragua to the fields of the Dominican Republic to create an Undercrown unlike any before.
Undercrown El Tigre Dominicano is a defining new chapter for the Undercrown brand, one deeply rooted in the DR. For the first time, Undercrown embraces a Dominican filler-forward expression, with the elegant and rich Dominican filler tobaccos in full spotlight. At the core of El Tigre is a beautiful pairing of Dominican HVA and C-98 leaves, tobaccos selected specifically for their balance, structure, and aromatic depth. Together, they build a layered, expressive base of flavors easily enjoyed by any fan of premium cigars.
Above the Dominican base, El Tigre Dominicano features a Connecticut Corojo H99 Hybrid binder and an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. Finished in a soft box-pressed format, this blend presents a medium-to-full bodied flavor profile that is refined and expressive. Notes of white pepper and roasted espresso unfold throughout the experience, supported by earthy undertones that bring depth and continuity to this undeniably Undercrown experience.
“El Tigre Dominicano means so much to all of us at Drew Estate,” explains company Founder & President Jonathan Drew Sann. “While handmade in Nicaragua at La Gran Fabrica, El Tigre strikes at the filler-forward core of the Dominican Republic, with layers and layers of complex transitions. Seriously, the El Tigre blend brings Undercrown to a whole new level. It’s a cigar that’s now in my personal daily rotation. Everyone at the office can’t stop smoking them … I’m super curious to see the consumer response to this blend.”
