Undercrown Shade Connecticut Gran Toro
Undercrown Shade Connecticut Gran Toro
Undercrown Shade Connecticut Gran Toro brings a lighter, silkier expression to Drew Estate’s celebrated Undercrown line without losing the depth that made the series so popular. Rolled at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Nicaragua, this 6 x 52 Gran Toro pairs an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper with a Sumatra binder and a filler blend of Dominican Criollo ’98 alongside Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo tobaccos.
The blend lands in the mellow to medium-bodied range, offering a creamy, composed profile built around toast, nuts, and gentle sweetness, with touches of warm spice, citrus, and honey adding definition rather than sharpness. In this Gran Toro format, expect roughly 75 to 100 minutes of smoking time at an easy pace, making it a strong choice when you want the elegance of a Connecticut-wrapped cigar with more character than the category often suggests.
