The Herrera Esteli Connecticut Broadleaf Lancero Tienda Exclusiva is another delicious blend from Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera. From the man responsible for the now-classic Liga Privada No 9. and the best-of list mainstay Herrera Esteli comes a Connecticut broadleaf that’s a tasty little number.

Drew Estate knows what to do with broadleaf about as well as anyone out there. There are definitely some broadleaf specialists and experts in today’s cigar world (Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson comes to mind, and he’s by no means the only one), and Willy Herrera is without a doubt in that group. Together with his Drew Estate brain trust, they’ve smoked broadleaf experiments in more ways than we can probably count. Given that THIS is the blend he’s chosen to represent his namesake brand, you just know it’s not going to disappoint.

So you know it’s a certified smoker.

This Herrera Esteli Connecticut Broadleaf cigar was initially launched as a “Tienda Exclusiva” to STOGIES World Class Cigar in 2016, and that little bit of market research confirmed that the blend was indeed ready for broader exposure. The smaller ring gauge of the Lancero is just perfect to suit the tobacco mix that makes this one so nice.

The wrapper is the bomb. It’s a higher priming Connecticut broadleaf that Drew Estate saves for limited-edition releases like this one. Inside is the Liga signature Brazilian Mata fina binder, hugging a core of rich Nicaraguan long-leaf.

Cigar Aficionado gave it 89 points, describing how “Initial puffs of this dark, veiny cigar have a meatiness that also reveals notes of incense, rock salt, dark toast and a bit of marzipan before the cedary finish.” Drew Estate and the Liga style of blending always seem to bring out that barbeque meat note, and if you’ve come to love it, you’re going to love this one. There’s plenty to love. As Willy Herrera said, he focused on how to “bunch the filler leaves in a way that provides the complexity, so the cigar doesn't become one-dimensional.”

These Liga-related blends never are.

Fermented in pilones to “reach the maximum flavor and color,” this particular broadleaf wrapper is at its peak. One of our favorite flavor profiles shows yet another side of itself in this powerful puffer. Viva Señor Herrera!

One of the best cigars I've ever had

I am a big fan of the lancero vitola, and this cigar really exemplifies the kind of product you can get when it is done well. Construction in a lancero is crucial and these cigars are expertly rolled so you have a smooth smoke all the way through. The flavor is unmistakable, it is like taking a sip of a slightly sweetened dark roast espresso. It's uncanny how similar it is. My wife doesn't even smoke and I had her take a puff and she agreed. I hate writing this review because I want to keep these all for myself.
