Drew Estate Larutan JL Cigar – Single

The Drew Estate Larutan JL Cigar combines Nicaraguan filler tobaccos with a Maduro wrapper, blended with black tobaccos from Syria, Turkey, and St. James Parish. This construction creates a foundation of earthy and spicy notes, enhanced by natural flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, and subtle leather undertones.

Flavor Profile and Construction

Upon lighting, the Larutan JL Cigar delivers a full-bodied experience with initial notes of dark chocolate and pepper, transitioning to sweeter undertones that balance the tobacco’s earthiness. The cigar features an even burn and smooth draw, supported by its tightly packed Nicaraguan filler and Maduro wrapper. Smoke duration averages 60-75 minutes, depending on vitola size.

• Core flavor components: Dark chocolate, espresso, black pepper
• Secondary notes: Aged leather, oak wood
• Wrapper origin: Maduro (Nicaraguan-grown)

Strength and Usage Context

Classified in the bold strength category, the Drew Estate Larutan JL contains higher nicotine content compared to standard Larutan variants. The 52-ring gauge format maintains consistent combustion, with smoke output measuring 20-25% denser than typical Maduro-wrapped cigars. Designed for evening use, it pairs effectively with aged rum or espresso-based beverages.

Drew Estate’s blending technique for the Larutan JL Cigar involves triple fermentation of Syrian leaf components, a process requiring 12-18 months to achieve optimal flavor integration. This method ensures compatibility between the spicy Turkish elements and sweeter St. James Parish tobaccos.
