5/5
Box Worthy!
Right away you can tell this is a Drew Estate cigar. Its construction was perfect and the ease of draw would be desirable for every cigar I smoke. The notes of dark coffee, cocoa, and nuts throughout.
Blackened M81 by Drew Estate Corona Doble (7x50)
The 95-rated BLACKENED Cigars M81 by Drew Estate is what happens when passion, craftsmanship, and raw intensity collide. This all-star collaboration unites Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate, Metallica’s James Hetfield, and BLACKENED Whiskey’s master distiller Rob Dietrich—three aficionados driven by a shared love of bold flavor and unapologetic character.
Built “Maduro to the Core,” M81 is a deep dive into the darkest, richest expressions of the Maduro leaf. It starts with a thick, oily Mexican San Andrés wrapper, layered over a hearty Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro binder and a powerhouse blend of Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania Broadleaf fillers—including some of the strongest ligero in Drew Estate’s arsenal.
The result? A full-throttle smoking experience that’s dark, dense, and unapologetically bold. Expect waves of espresso, leather, and dark chocolate, backed by a richness that lingers long after the final draw.
If you crave intensity and complexity with a rebellious edge, M81 doesn’t just deliver—it turns the volume all the way up.

Product Reviews
4/5
Wears its name well
If color has taste, then dark would taste like that. Started smooth and then I had this nicotine rush from the middle. Dark, chocolate, woodsy. You can recognize the taste of Drew Estate cigar, I think about a lower quality Undercrown Maduro but cheaper. Fair price but not sure I will get this again, there is some better stuff out there at the same price
