A smoother shade of Undercrown.
Drew Estate Undercrown is the blue collar Liga Privada 9, created by the factory rollers when due to overwhelming demand, they were stopped from burning the Liga 9. Drew Estate’s master blender, Willy Herrera, challenged the rollers to come up with a Connecticut based blend that would satisfy his palate, and with his input and assistance, the Undercrown Shade came into being.
Undercrown Shade is flavorful and balanced, with an Ecuadoran Connecticut wrapper atop a Sumatran binder and Dominican criollo 98’ and Nicaraguan corojo and criollo long-fillers. Mellow to medium-bodied, the blend is rich, complex, and balanced, bringing flavors of toast, nuts, subtle spice, and cream with an enjoyable sweetness with the finish. This is a mellow cigar that will surprise and fascinate the full-bodied enthusiast.
Undercrown Shade was recently honored as a fantastic cigar with a 91-rating. The review stated, "It's a bright and creamy... zesty with touches of lemon peel and dried orange. It's also sweet, with a very prominent note of honey on the palate."

This Connecticut shade stick was a good choice. It had earthy, light cedar, and mild earthy tones. It’s definitely a mild to medium-strength cigar. The smoke output was excellent! It’s a great stick for people who prefer mild cigars.

Really enjoyed the smoke overall. Nice flavor and good draw. I usually don't go in for conneticuts but this one had a very nice body to it and tasted great. Unfortunately I think I picked up a bad one and had burn issues throughout the first third. After about two thirds I put it down for about 20 minutes, picked it back up and fought me to stay light. Would definitely buy again based on flavor alone and hopefully not have any issues with the burn.

Another abnormal review. Sweet and spicy as expected, but the second from this box with burn issues. The pepper notes hit harder than expected from its look. The draw wasn't as great as usual, although the construction seemed ok. Again, particular stick would not stay lit for very long without multiple relights.

Abnormal review. Sweet and spicy as expected, but not very smokey due to burn issues. The pepper notes hit harder than expected from its look. The draw was great, and the construction seemed great as well, but this particular stogie would not stay lit, which is rare for Undercrown lines.

TL;DR - significant and subpar burn issues, though I think it's a good cigar. 5 mos aged. ⏳️ Prelight is a barely noticeable light tobacco. Pleasant but faint. Goldilocks draw with great initial appearance. At half an inch, I've had to correct the burn line twice already. So it's a rough light-up and it's staying bad. There's a core problem that only a roller could have caused. Continuing, the high-burn core issue on one side is paired with a lagging side that won't keep up. I'm coming to the end of the first third, and I don't know if I like the cigar yet. Jeez Drew. About halfway the burn is finally self-correcting. That's a whole lot of wasted cigar. 😕 I'm finally getting some flavors that don't include pure charcoal. It's woody with a bit of leather. There's a kind of spice that's settling on the palette and is present in the retro. Clove? Coming to the end of the smoke, I think it's a good cigar. Medium strength. Giving Drew Estates the benefit of the doubt, I'll hope the burn issues were isolated. Generally this was a bad experience, but I'll try it again.

1mo rested. Burn and draw great. Ash tight and fell at halfway point. Interesting overall flavor, has a slight bitter taste. Notes of cedar, grass, nut, cream, spice, and citrus.

Repeated review. Sweet, spicy, and very smokey! The pepper notes hit harder than expected from its look. Clean construction, adequate draw, and a very even burn.
