Undercrown Shade Connecticut Flying Pig
Undercrown Shade Connecticut Flying Pig
The Flying Pig format gives Undercrown Shade a very different presentation from the line’s standard parejos, pairing its short perfecto shape with the blend’s notably creamy character. Drew Estate builds this cigar around an Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Sumatra binder and a mix of Dominican Criollo 98 and Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo fillers, creating a medium-bodied profile with more depth than many traditional Connecticut offerings.
Expect a balanced smoke marked by earth, vanilla, caramel, and pepper, with the mellow-to-medium character that has made Undercrown Shade a popular choice for smokers who want refinement without sacrificing flavor. At roughly 3 15/16 x 60 in the Flying Pig vitola, it generally offers about 35 to 55 minutes of smoking time, depending on pace.
