Blackened S84 Shade to Black Toro by Drew Estate

Strength:

Binder: Connecticut

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade

Filler: Nicaraguan

The Blackened S84 Shade to Black Toro by Drew Estate is the lighter, more nuanced expression of the Metallica × Drew Estate collaboration. The S84 designation references the year Metallica released Ride the Lightning, and the "Shade to Black" name reflects the cigar's journey from a smooth, creamy start to a progressively deeper, darker finish.

This 6 × 52 Toro features an elegant Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper that belies the complexity within. A USA Connecticut Broadleaf binder anchors the blend, while the filler of Nicaraguan Maduro and Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro delivers surprising depth — starting with notes of cream, almonds, and toasted bread before transitioning into dark chocolate, espresso, and subtle spice.

The S84 is the perfect choice for cigar smokers who prefer a medium-to-full body with exceptional balance and a long, satisfying finish.
