Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro marks the fourth core-line addition to the Cuban-centric Herrera Esteli collection from Drew Estate, joining the Herrera Esteli Habano, Norteño, and Herrera Esteli Miami cigar blends. The cigar is named for its signature wrapper ingredient, veering from the more traditional tobacco varietals to offer cigar enthusiasts a taste of Brazilian plantation-grown Mata Fina maduro front and center.
Drew Estate first debuted the Herrera Esteli brand in 2013, showcasing the talents of the company's Master Blender, Willy Herrera, and his propensity for for old-school cigarmaking customs and smoking profiles. But the Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro veers from this approach, opting for the dark, gritty, atypical, fruity characteristics of Brazil's Mata Fina—a tobacco that Herrera typically uses as an accent leaf within the binder or filler. This bold wrapper is joined by a Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf binder and all-Nicaraguan fillers. Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro takes on a medium-plus body, a dense smoking texture, and irresistible flavor components of mineral-rich earth, Hershey's syrup, chocolate malt, dark stone fruit, molasses, and sweetened espresso.

JACOB NEELY - Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro Lonsdale Deluxe
Decent variation on the core HE blend. I enjoy these from time to time and like the sweet earth element that the Brazilian tobacco brings to the table. That being said, the original Herrera Esteli is a better cigar for my palate.

This is one of my absolute go to blends in the cigar world. It has everything a cigar smoker wants in a cigar. The smoke output is amazing, the taste is incredible, and the aqua blue label makes this one sexy guitar. Willy Herrera is the man!

Great chocolate flavors from this cigar that always pleases me. Just strong enough that it smokes well for me after a heavy meal. Pair it with a bowl of m&m’s, it’s unbelievable!

Darrin Boren - Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro Robusto Grande - 5 Pack
After looking at a couple previous reviews on Smoke Inn, I was surprised to see that both gave this a good review, but only had it at 3 stars. I agree this is a really great cigar and I will be keeping in my humi for a long time. But it deserves better than 3 stars imo. I am giving it a 4 star. Talk to anyone, I have never heard anyone that's tried this that wasn't impressed with it.

John Kenny - Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro Piramide Fino
My favorite from the Herrera Esteli line. The Brazilian wrapper adds a rich, syrupy note to the blend. Full bodied, for sure. The Habano and Norteño are great, in their own right. This one just takes it up a notch. One of the best offerings from Drew Estate.
