Drew Estate Launches “Undercrown 10 Flying Pig” International Exclusive

Drew Estate expands globally with the international exclusive launch of the iconic Flying Pig size for the Undercrown 10th Anniversary expression.

Drew Estate expands globally with the international exclusive launch of the iconic Flying Pig size for the Undercrown 10th Anniversary expression.

UC 10 Flying Pig – Open Box

A masterful and fun celebration, featuring a decade of Undercrown excellence, this cigar showcases Drew Estate’s signature craftsmanship and the unforgettable and inspirational UC story that has captivated cigar aficionados worldwide – “A Decade of Dedication.”
​​
​The Undercrown 10 Flying Pig features the renowned Mexican San Andrés Negro wrapper, expertly paired with a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and finally, a blend of select Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan Cuban seed filler tobaccos. The blend results in a bold yet smooth smoking experience, marked by sweet notes of coffee and spice, complemented by undertones of cream and earth. The distinct 3 15/16 x 60 Perfecto shape, known as the legendary Flying Pig is a true standout vitola. ​
​​
​Jonathan Drew, Founder and President of Drew Estate, from the Wynwood Safehouse says, “Undercrown is the cigar born from the hands and hearts of our factory floor. The Flying Pig vitola is a symbol of life’s rugged journey, and now added to our 10th year anniversary, A Decade of Dedication. If you love pizza, Mexican hot chocolate and walks in the rain, pina colada’s and such, we got you here, bruh.” ​
​​
​The Undercrown brand came to life in 2009 when Drew Estate’s torcedores were asked to smoke fewer Liga Privada cigars to meet the growing demand for exports. In response, the factory team created their own unique blend to enjoy for themselves, which ultimately became the Undercrown line. ​ UC has expanded beyond the original Maduro expression to include a Connecticut Shade expression as well. The Flying Pig size, with its short, plump shape, delivers an intense and concentrated burst of flavors from start to finish.
​​
​Undercrown 10 Flying Pig at a Glance:
​• Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés Negro
​• Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf
​• Filler: Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan tobaccos
​• Size: 3 15/16 x 60 (100.1 mm x 23.8 mm)
​• Strength: Medium to full-bodied
​• Profile Notes: Sweet coffee, spice, cream, and earth.

Wrappers, Binders, and Fillers

The wrapper, binder, and filler refer to the individual leaves that make up the cigar you're enjoying.

The filler leaves of the cigar are the inner-most leaves and make up a majority of the tobacco inside. Filler leaves are bunched together by buncheros at the factory.

These filler leaves are held together with a binder leaf - a whole leaf encasing all of the filler tobacco and holding them tightly together.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the wrapper. This single leaf is the outermost cover of the cigar, and must be high-quality in both performance and aesthetics.

Cigar shapes and sizes

Individual cigar sizes, called vitolas, can shape your experience and enjoyment of a blend. At Drew Estate, we strive to offer our brands in a variety of vitolas that best show off the tobaccos contained inside. Exploring the subtle taste profile differences between different sizes is a great way to learn more about your favorite blend or switch up your experience.

Each size is presented in two numbers: the first is the length of the cigar, in inches. The second is the “ring gauge” - a measurement of the diameter of the cigar, measured in 64ths of an inch.
